NOR071 Waffen SS Tiger Tank Crew Figures (1 Viewer)

Happily ordered my FL Tiger crew today at what I thought to be a very fair price. Looking forward to placing them on that great FL Normandy Tiger.

My personal thoughts on this are, the figures look really nice and they are probably the best detailed tanks figures around in the "smaller" 1/30 scale but I really have a hard time excepting the high price of these figures, especially when I can get some Kronprinz tank figures for a lower price. The FL figures are only half and 3 quarter size respectively and this is a high price to pay for figures that are not even complete. I’m guessing this may have to do with the limited production run of these figures but it’s still in my humble opinion a high price to pay. I will admit that the KP tank figures are not as detailed as the FL Tiger Tank figures but I'm still happy with the detail and quality of the KP figures as well as the price point.

Please note I do own a number of FL vehicles including the first Tiger Tank.

Tom,

I know where you are coming from and in my case ordering direct from FL you have to add postage to Australia which isn't cheap.

However in this matter I really like the FL figures and no point paying a premium dollar for a detailed Tiger and not having good crew so in my case I sucked it up and ordered one set the other Tiger can operate with hatches shut.

I will also get the Kronprinz crew would work in a support role

Ordered the crew. Just need some tank riders now.
 
Aero Art seems to make figures as good or better than FL. For a price anything can be equaled or exceeded IMO. I agree Country Honor is a joke; but where money can be made they will continue making their Frankenstein Figures i.e. take the legs off one and glue to another to create an original sculpt, not quite anatomically correct!

Their figures are total **** :salute::. I can't believe anyone could possibly think they could make any figure that is the equivalent of First Legion.

Even when they completely ripped FL they still looked GOD awful, I'm highly offended as a First Legion collector of good taste for someone to even suggest such a farce. {sm4}

I agree about Aero Art I've been collecting them long before there was a First Legion as Matt knows. But Aero Arts WWII figures were always real crap, they do have a few WWI figures that are and where well done and some 20th Century personality figures as well if your into them.

Definitely don't think AA when thinking WWII that's why I didn't start collecting WWII untill First Legion rolled theirs out.
 
Aero Art WW2 figures have funny face sculpts.. Way overpriced..

Tank Riders are in the works for the Bulge series, where we find them to be more appropriate than Normandy. Of course, this must mean more tanks for the Bulge Series. :smile2:

Tom,

Good call did you also get the Winter Tiger?

As Wayne WA always said you can't have enough Tigers
