Rare Photo - Remember This? (1 Viewer)

[RWFigarti]

Dear Collectors,

A few years ago at the West Coaster, we brought a prototype of the M1 Abrams Tank to the show, the response was not overwhelming due to the weight and FOV having a similar product. However, this is one of my personal favorites because it was ONE SOLID TANK with metal tracks etc... Unfortunately, this photo is what we are left with because during our factory move 2 years ago, it was apparently damaged to a point where one of our workers thought it was just junk and tossed it. @!@%#%#^*&^!

Cleaning up my photos tonight, I thought I would share this with all of you.

Yeah, I remember it Rick. I wanted it bad when I saw the photos of it back then, and I am bummed it never got produced.

 

[jazzeum]

I don't remember it but I'm sure you must have been heartsick when it got tossed.

Rick-

At last years Westcoaster you mentioned this tank to me and said you might have a picture of it. I really wish it would have been produced, but it is great to see the photo nonetheless.

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! NOOoooooooooooooo!!!

I trust the worker was duly rounded up and thrapsed with a birch twig until he realised the error of his ways.
I'd love to see this in production, even if it's just one for me and one for Louis.
Do you still have the molds etc set up to produce these? Pleeeeease say yes?

You know I'm in if you can do it . . . I'll tell you what, make me one of these, and I'll give you the Figarti room in the museum you always coveted . . . but you have to help me fill it.

Is this a hint of what is to come?

Hey Rick thats a great idea, just make two for those guys and you can

figure out your production costs and split it between them.

I would take two. We can split it four ways......................or wait until 96 other people want one.........

Well guys, any other takers? I get the feeling if enough of us commit, the Abrams will be reborn . . .

If you are going to make a model of the MOST POWERFUL modern Tank today - you need to make a ........

LEOPARD II

I will take 2 of those also.

I have a Baby Leopard that C- Ron gave me!

I really like the modern Iraq / Afghanistan items. But I wish there were more vehicles.

 

[Currahee Chris]

I would certainly buy several of these without a second thought. You could do them in desert camo scheme or Marine green woodland camo. Either would work for OIF.

If the mould/s were not tossed out, then it would be easier to bring this awesome MBT back out into production.

Why not bring on the Leopard II and other modern day MBT's ?

You never know.....there may be a better response this time around.

I think you are right, the response may be very different this time. A Challenger II would be great!!!!

You're not alone Bro. I'm sure we'd see a clean sweep for this piece. The FOV are good pieces, and great in terms of bang for yer buck, but the detail that Figarti would no doubt build in would make these too good to resist.
