I wonder how it would compare to the one released by Mig Productions many moons ago ... :

Also, does D-Toys' version come with the soft doors. It's kind of pointless without them. Yes, you can have the hard doors with a soft top, but it isn't that common.

After a closer look, the D-Toys offering does look like it has more 'wrinkles/folds in the cover molding.

I agree with you Gino, this is almost pointless without doors. I'm curious to see details on this offering.

I agree, there some subtle differences between the two sets that can be seen just by looking at the two photos. In my opinion the D-Toys cover looks more realistic than the MIG set. Interesting that D-Toys would come out with this (rather boring) set, though, with the MIG one already on the market.

I agree with you Evan....The D toys cover does look better. The first time I looked at the images was on my BlackBerry and couldn't see the detail as well.

It doesn't look like the set comes with soft doors. However, it looks like it comes with a new set of wheels. Weird...

Hi all,

I discovered an interesting fact about D-Toys. I bought their FBCB2 kit, called Blue Force Tracker Kit by them and compared it the one in LEGEND Production M1114/M1151 kit. And voila.. they are identical! So either D-Toys is a spin-off of Legend or it`s run by some renegades that formly worked for Legend. But that pure guessing!!! No offense taken!! I personnaly would buy that set, since I saw some M1097 A2 HMMWV`s with armored doors used at the JMTC in Hohenfels.
Just my 2 cents.
