Figarti-First Legion (2 Viewers)

Would the FL tank commanders fit? Or because they are full figures... they wouldn't fit?


Great looking photos nyseplaya, I really like the First Legion advancing FJs with Tiger, but must admit the tank commander is a wee bit big for the tank, but hey still looks great!!...Sammy

The First Legion Panzer Commander with Binoculars will not fit due to the square base. If you hack off the base he will fit and looks brilliant (another member has done this with the Figarti Early Grey Tiger).

Kronprinz is supposed to be making some 1/2 body tank commanders in the future that will be a more appropriate scale. In the meantime I've improvised by using a combination of ONWTC, Britains, etc., but then you have to deal with the differeing paint styles between them and FL.

The best solution I have are the drivers from the very first Collectors Showcase Tiger releases from a few years back. The driver head figure is appropriately sized, painted very well, and so I put some foam in the turrets and position it so only the head is poking out. Works pretty well.

Personally, I'd prefer if Figarti just went to First Legion's scale for figures, or if First Legion made 1/2 body tank commanders so I could use those. This large figure paired with smaller vehicles as pioneered by King and Country really has run its course and its time for the industry to stop doing it IMO.

As for the Figarti/First Legion relationship. It is a match made in heaven, and there really is no better look than Figarti armor with First Legion figures (except maybe First Legion vehicles with First Legion figures :salute::).
 
now everyone shd be happy:smile2:

thx for the feedback guys! I also hope FL to release some half body tank commander with good pose. It will make our life much easier :salute::

Definitely.

Like those Honour Bound Panthers in the background. You have excellent taste in tanks.
