New Figarti grey Tiger & winter T34 (2 Viewers)

[OzDigger]

In my opinion some peoples "FACTS" are actually just opinion.

Please note that this is not a comment upon Figarti product but an opinion on those who think their opinions represent facts.

Brett, there are some facts such best detail and most accurate in terms of markings, color schemes etc and I think First Legion and then Figarti would be the leaders as far as 1/30(ish) scale is concerned. Then we have opinions and preferences based on size, material, fragility, playability and suitabilty to current collections etc which is where the other companies have their advantages, or disadvantages, depending upon ones personal preferences.

There is "No Question" that as of now Figarti is producing some of the best Tiger AFV's ever made by anyone including K/C and HB.....That's not an opinion simply "FACTS"...... The Figarti Winter T-34 is also an excellent model nicely weathered at a "reasonable price point".....The only company that surpasses that kind of quality and detail is FL.....When FL does a tiger I'm sure it will be even more impressive....I was considering the K/C Grey Tiger (which should have been made years ago), but decided to go with the Figarti Version since it will match up better with FL Stalingrad figures.....Polystone simply lacks detail:No photo-etch grills or other metal detail is added on and K/C tracks leave alot to be desired....Thus for me Figarti wins the Battle of the Grey Tiger.

Yeah it will have a impressive price tag as well..................^&grin

Simply put both products side by side and then go thru the details step by step...and let the "facts" speak for themselves....Then present your "opinions" and why????{sm4}....Figarti wins hands down IMHO of course{sm4}.....Post#12 re-affirmed

I own two FL vehicles and i think they are superb but i also own a large collection of K&C vehicles and i also think they are superb as well. My point being is that you cannot just say this is a "fact" that one brand is better than another as each collector is different. One collector will say this vehicle is perfect while another will pick holes in it. What your saying Vezzolf is an opinion but not a fact.

To get back on track with this thread, i think the new Figarti Tiger and T34 are superb. {bravo}}

I agree the Figarti tanks are some nicly well made models.I have no problem buying from K&C and CS as well and display all 3 brands inter-mixed. To me each brand has something good to offer the collector.
I really think it is time to just simply respect other collectors interests or favorites and leave it at that.
Take a look at the Figarti video listed here in the forum that is on YouTube. Rick Wang himself mentions
Using FL Vietnam figures along with his newly made Huey, making a statement about manufacturers working
Together so to speak. Great idea I would think. :wink2:

OzD,
So when TomD and Joe say Figarti T34 is better than FL version that is an opinion but when you or somebody else says otherwise it is a fact. Simple really, all we need now is a list of those whose posts can be considered as facts and others that are mere opinion and that will solve all future discussions.

Did anyone purchase them at the show ?
Could you tell me your thoughts about both tanks and how they compare to K&C new grey Tiger & T34 ?

thanks

After spending some time to look at pictures of the new Tiger & T34 from both manufacturers,
I went ahead and bought both the Figarti grey Tiger & winter T34. The Figarti tanks look
better to me especially with the clean track ^&grin

I was speaking in general terms based on past performance when I compared First Legion tanks to Figarti. When it comes to specific models it is even easier. I haven't seen either the new Figarti T34 or the First Legion version but they will surely differ in terms of accuracy and detail. As for who likes what better, that could be an opinion based on preference rather than factual differences regarding accuracy and detail. I haven't seen where TomD or Joe listed specific factual differences so at this stage I will assume it is a preference as to which version is better.

I did state in a previous post that I thought all of the manufacturers are doing a great job, BUT if I had to stay with one manufacturer it would have to be Figarti.

I was a 1/35th scale model builder and to me Figarti stuff look most like a model. FL is in that league also but there is the compatibility problem with them.

FL is best with FL and it is a great way to go.

My absolute perfect match is Figarti AFV's with TGM figures.

But let me say again, this is hypothetical if I had to make a choice ............. I have a large collection of all of the prominent manufacturers products and I pick and choose certain items for my diorama needs.

Alex...

Are you saying that you think Figarti works well with TG or, is it the poses you are mentioning I note you mention hypothetical immediately after. The two don't seem to be a perfect match. TG do the larger figures and Figarti make theirs a fair bit smaller.

If I had to only collect one manufacturer for Figures and one manufacturers for vehicles. Figarti would make my vehicles and TGM would make my figures, because EVERYTHING considered, they are the most appealing to me .

Once again FL is their own entity and they are excellent.

But in the real world with size differences and coloration etc. I just play it by ear as far as matching up vehicles to figures, there are many figures and vehicles from the other manufacturers I like a lot also. When I plan a scene I do a lot of mixing and matching. In future scenes we are going to even more critical with our matching.

That is why we pulled back for a while, We are kind of taking stock and then we are going to blast out a ton of scenes. I have not used about 2/3rds of my collection in any scenes yet and neither has Nick. Alex

Is that an opinion or a fact?:wink2:....Is it better to you based on observations made????....Inquiring minds want to know^&grin^&grin^&grin

The Figarti tanks just look more realistic to me. I like the detail, weathering, and painting on them better; And no MUD on tracks.

To be fair You could say that about any of the company's mate

This only refers to WWII

Could this be the answer to the endless and fruitless "My favorite manufacturer" discussions.

Maybe it is that the various companies have different objectives to appeal to various tastes.

K&C is the most traditional manufacturer and they still carry a little Toy Soldier flavor in their products.

The Collectors showcase is Big and they are the only manufacturer that trys to address the figure to AFV size ratio.

Thomas Gunn sits square in the middle with compatibility with K&C but a little better detail.

And FL and Figarti try to capture more of the modeler types. FL takes this concept the furthest, but Figarti has greater compatibility with similar objectives.

John Jenkins does not do much WWII, but I would put them in the modeler category also.

Does this make any sense. Alex

I think FL may object to your comment that CS is the only manufacturer that tries to address the figure to AFV size ratio. {eek3}:smile2:

Let my clarify my statement. FL solves the problem in house.....CS is giving us compatibility options among the rest of the products.
