Any update on when we can expect the first releases?

Have the winter Panthers arrived yet in any numbers from 15 months ago ^&confuse^&confuse

I purchased my 2nd Winter Panther a month ago from Hobby Bunker.

I got one from HB as well. Very nice piece in my opinion.

The Hobby Bunker website shows them to be a future release! I have the Summer version and I consider it to be the finest AFV Figarti has produced to date. Also it is probably the best Panther done by anyone in 1/30 scale polystone. Even the figure is decent! A new standard of excellence in polystone IMHO. A perfect companion piece to the excellent Figarti T34-85.

How sow well does it go with FL winter troops?

I got one from HB as well. Very nice piece in my opinion.

The deck of the Figarti Panther G is 60MM high. A perfect match with the First Legion figures. I have mostly TCS and K&C figures which are too tall to be realistic with the Figarti AFVs; which measure at 1/29 scale typically. The Thomas Gunn AFVs would also work realisticly with the First Legion figures.

Very well. I will take some snaps this weekend.

 

[Hunter Rose]

The Figarti Panthers measure perfectly at 1/30 and are a match with FL figures.

The only legitimate complaint some people have is the stock paint jobs ould be better.

Great photos

Great photos; they really show the realism of a correct scale match between vehicle and figure. Also quality counts especially in the fine details; this is why Figarti designates their products as Military Miniatures versus Toy Soldiers!

I don't think the scale is perfect IMO

You can't tell me you will fit this many FL on this Panther without it looking ridiculous ??

You kill me Wayne. FL figures are always too small for you, and now you're telling me they're not small enough!?!?!

And yes, if FL molded figures that fit shoulder to shoulder perfectly with zero wasted space between them (like in the picture) you could get that many figures on a Panther. We've done this dance way too many times before. Nothing I post will change your mind. Even if I show the math that proves both are accurately scaled to 1/30 or post pictures that look exactly like reference photos it would have no impact.

So I'll just say that FL figures work perfectly with the Figarti Panther as well as the Figarti steel wheeled Tigers and let collectors decide for themselves.

You have your opinion mate and i have mine,they aren't that perfect simple as that.

We will see when FL release a Panther and make some riders for it,i would be wrapped if companies made vehicles to suit their figures but even FL aren't perfect mate IMO of course.

 

[katana]

Wayne; I agree the scale match is not perfect; however it is a lot closer than any other between manufacturer match up IMHO!

 

[Hunter Rose]

So how do you guys think the FL winter figures look on a Figarti Tiger?

Hunter Rose; nice photos! I think the First Legion figures work well with the Figarti Tiger I. The K&C Tiger I's since the Tunisian Tiger are also a true 1/30 scale and should also work well with the First Legion figures; as would the Honor Bound Gold Series Tiger I's. The Figarti AFV's are remarkably consistant in scale since Figarti switched from 1/32 to 1/30 about 2006. I believe that the K&C Tunisian Tiger I was their first 1/30 scale AFV. I wonder if W. Britains will introduce new 1/30 scale Armor to go with their resized figures?

VERY NICE Hunter....A very good compatibility of scale: FL and Figarti...1:30th figures and 1:30th scale AFV's.^&grin....and that's how it's supposed to be,,,,Duh...^&grin.....Better compatibility then anything else currently available in this hobby:salute::.....ALSO A SUPERB WINTER CONVERSION OF THE FIGARTI SUMMER PANTHER.....Well Done Mitch
