Figarti Panther G question? (1 Viewer)

[ExRanger]

I’m thinking of purchasing my first Figarti tank the Panther G ETG-018. Will the tank work well with K&C figures and other K&C tanks? I.E. Tiger or Panther tanks? My collection is K&C tanks and figures and am in need of a Panther Tank. This tank looks really sharp but am concerned if it will stand out in size.

Maybe someone has a photo comparison.

It's true 1/30 so goes better with First Legion figures.

King and Country figures will look very large next to it.

This would be my opinion, too.

The Figarti Panzers work best with WB, Kronprinz, WP and FL. The later larger FL figures are more compatible than the earlier examples IMO.

I took some rough pics of Figarti and FL Panthers to share a sense of comparative size. They're real close IMO, with the Figarti Panther perhaps 1/4" longer in the rear hull when the tanks are lined up fender to fender. They work fine together for me.

Great comparison photos. The good old days when you could buy a Figarti Panther G for less than half the price of the FL Panther G and a decent figure was included!

LOL, yep, those sure were the 'good old days'

apparently, the business model of selling a hundred tanks “cheap” did not work out. Lesson learned.

Appreciate to all who responded.

These are both Figarti Panthers ?? or am I mistaken ??

The winter version is FL. The scale is identical.

That's right, winter FL Panther next to Figarti Panther-both great vehicles....I miss Figarti and their creativity.

I don't consider $200.00 for a Figarti Panzer cheap; they were competitivly priced. JJD Panzers emulate the Figarti model. Excellent quality at a fair market price. Figarti did not fail financially; but chose to focus on their other businesses during the 2008 recession and sold the brand to their designer who chooses to run Figarti as a custom house.

The Figarti King Tiger is an accurate model with excellent detail and is superior to competitive examples that have multiple errors.
