GI joe tank?? (1 Viewer)

[Leadmen]

I was wandering around a toy show last month when I came across a guy selling a limited edition 1/32 scale Sherman tank made by Hasbro. I never heard of Hasbro making this scale. One of two tanks was sold right away so I knew if I came back it would be gone. The price was less then a plastic tank. Here is what I got for twenty bucks. John

Side View. Has anyone heard about these 1/32 tanks being made by Hasbro? I did not see them in my son's GI Joe books. J

That's very cool - what's it made of?

Last picture of the base bottom. It shows being issued has a limited edition on Jan. 1, 1998. I wonder if the Hasbro company made other tanks like Panzer models? If anyone has information on these models please let us know. I don't know anything else about this product and is this the only model the company made? Thanks John

Louis: The tank is made of metal and resin. The figure is plastic. J

Looks nice, certainly a bargain. Does it detach from the base?

Hi John,

My goodness! The price of that tank seems to be a exceptional buy! A tank that well detailed for $20.00 is a dream come true. You have an amazing gift for finding treasure!

Thanks for sharing your tank with us. I have enjoyed viewing it.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

No the tank is mounted to base and I don't see a screw holding it except me. J

Very nice, especially for the price - great value. You never know what you'll come across.
