Winter Puma (1 Viewer)

[Wraith]

Wraith, I know you're a big TGM fan. Can you take pics of the Puma and any new WWII sets? Also can you comment on the relative size of the Puma to the soldiers? Thanks in advance. London show goers have a great time. You guys take more show pics than anyone in the whole world and everyone appreciates it. Take more legendary bar pics too! Have fun.

As promised on another thread, a few shots of the Winter Puma with K&C + TGM figure for size comparison. Looks good to me.

Cheers
Simon

Thanks for posting the pic's Simon, TG have done an awesome job on this Puma version and it should work in very well with the K&C Winter version. Can't wait to get me paws on one! {sm3}

Thanks Simon, much appreciated. I have the Normandy Puma pre-ordered. I love armored cars. I can't believe it took someone this long to do this version.

Trying to resist this one, does anyone know whether the wheels are free moving, just might sway me if they do. Trust Tom to find yet again a hole in my collection, cheers, Robin.

Glad to be in a position to loosen your wallets ^&grin

It's a very nicely done piece and good value.

Robin, I'm afraid the wheels do turn. And it's remote control with a sound chip in it, fully functioning BB pellet firing turret and it dispenses peanut M&Ms out of the loader's hatch.
Actually, some of those features may be a little inaccurate, but it definately rolls!

Not plain M & Ms? No Mars bars? I'd demand a refund!

Apparently, according to some of the reference books I have, the plain M&Ms weren't a standard factory fit option until March 1945, due to initial concerns about the inherant safety isssues with the blue ones and an inability to find a Dunklegelb food coloring match.
I'm not aware of Mars bars on the 234 series. My understanding was that these were only fitted to tracked vehicles.

Fair one. It's the Commander's hatch that dispenses the peanut M&Ms, not the loaders', which has a Pez dispenser fitted. Don't go getting them mixed up. {sm2}

The Mars bars dispensers were field alterations made by the Allies on captured German Pumas

This vehicle brought me back into collecting toy soldiers again. I sold almost all of my collection several years ago and put that toward purchasing a vintage Bultaco Sherpa and 1973 Maico. TGM had just announced their first set about the same time I got out, I think it was the MG set. I received an email announcement about the Puma a month ago, saw the awesome detail and paint and the great price and preordered the Normandy version from Treefrog.
I have since then purchased several TGM figure sets from Amund, they are great. The fever then set in , I then got a K&C AFV from Terry and a CS vehicle locally. That dumb Puma which I have only seen in photos at this point, has caused me to spend a lot of money. I could be buying another old dirt bike, instead, I may need to sale one.

Safer option playing with a tank instead of a dirt bike and almost as much fun, that's old age talking. Cheers, Robin.

Robin, You are probably right. I was riding dirt bikes with my oldest son and skateboards with my youngest son, both tough on a mid 40s body especially when falling off a skateboard ramp or sliding helmet first down a muddy Georgia trail. But, TS do cause financial/wallet pain. Possibly Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as I have recently found my special Mary Kay make-up brush - aka 'Soldier deduster' .
That TGM 253 Halftrack looks pretty awesome, I may have to get that one at some point to go with the Puma.

Simon, nice pieces.
My only complaint is the non-operating hatches on the Puma and Hetzer.

As a note regarding the Puma we have nearly sold out of our entire production run in a week - there are only 5 approx of each version left with a couple of dealers still to order!
Thank you for all of you who have helped towards what looks like to be another sell out!
