Poll: Figarti Tiger - Yes or No? (1 Viewer)

[jazzeum]

At the 2008 Chicago Show, I remember that Rick, when he introduced the JS-2, said he reads polls and that this helps make Figarti decisions (if my recollection is correct).

Thinking that a poll on a Tiger may be useful, here is a poll on whether Figarti should make one, yes or no.

My opinion, for whatever that may be worth, is no; how could they top the Tiger they made a few years back, the best one ever made in my opinion, notwithstanding it was 1/32.

I agree, a King Tiger, yes, redoing another Tiger no especially since last effort's was incredible.

Yes--there's a bunch of tigers out there, but I think that Turk's King Tiger at Potsdamer Station would be a great piece to compliment the Berlin ISU 152.

At the risk of attracting the ire of those who don't like polls , I may need to start another one on just the King Tiger.

A Winterized King Tiger should "definitely" be be done... especially since Figarti has released a Russian Eastern Front line up...As far as a Tiger I, "Why Not"...The earlier 1:32 scale Tiger was a great product (I own 3 of them); However it is still too small at 1:32 scale and lacks exterior detail.. and paint is only fair... the earlier Tiger could be improved on.....Elimination of the interior design (which I think is the 1:32 tank's main appeal) would allow Figarti to concentrate more on the exterior detail/paint and keep the cost under control....Given a choice however I would rather see the Winter King Tiger release.....however a Tiger I would certainly not be rejected by most collectors

I think I agree with Vezzolf about the Tiger 1 the release was more about interior than anything else and, although some like these interior models I am not a fan and, know a few more who also did not like it. Thats not knocking it just, again, individual taste.

For sure a full scale 1/30th Tiger 1 would sell for sure, but, a King Tiger II would be a great addition if they are planning to do one.

But, lets not forget that CS did hint at something like this in German large armour so, we may definately get one sooner rather than later.

Figarti's IMO would have no problem selling out as they do low release numbers and, german armour is extremly popular

You can never have enough Tigers (early, mid, late production models, N. Africa, Normandy, Easter Front and winter)....LOL

One thing for sure is we certainly have not had sufficient late war Tiger 1's IMO properly done. A big (and lucrative) hole in the market awaiting filling.

Agreed. A run of 100 or so Tigers, Tiger I or King, would sell out in a heartbeat!

I regret not getting the HB, Gold Edition Tiger I, myself.

 

[Vezzolf]

........I want one...Done the Figarti Way.... Winter Version Eastern Front 1945....Burrrrrr Cold

 

[Gebhard]

I'm in . I think it would be a nice idea to produce a new Tiger I , it would give more collectors a chance at owning one . Oh and make mine with no interior please .. All the best Gebhard

 

[daruss]

Well, this is a no-brainer for FIGARTI to make a new Tiger!

 

[uksubs]

I would love to see a Battle for Berlin Tiger & King tiger made by Figarti

 

[uksubs]

One of my fav paintings

 

[HAWKEYE]

a nice king tiger the figarti way would be a thing of beauty

 

[Vezzolf]

It certainly would be great...I'd like a Winterized Version to go with the Winter Flak 88........also would go well with the Flakverling...Figarti knows how to do AFV's

Think a ETO version would sell better going by Figarti pass sells as you can still buy most of the winter items
