From the unveiling video on their website, looks like the figures are LEGO type figures.

I agree with Robin... whatever makes them more profits so they can keep growing and give us more models is fine by me

Usually Dragon gets torn up for doing stuff like this.

AGREE- I think that a lot of modellers seem to forget that this genre is where DRAGON gets their "REAL" money from...
I'm thinking that if the plastic model companies keep producing these kinds of model kits, then there just might be a better chance of us seeing the kind of stuff that we on this and other model sites like to collect and build. The "up" side is that maybe more kids will gradually become interested in "scale" modelling, and developing better and better skills as time goes on...
I WOULD buy a model of Donald Duck as he was seen in the WWII-era cartoon, "Der Fuehrer's Face"!
THAT cartoon was a RIOT!!!

I buy the Meng for Kids models for my daughter. I wonder if these are similar in skill level. I would buy unicorn meat from Meng if they sold it. Anything to make them profit so they can keep my stash full of exquisite kits.

Just bought both kits, in stock, at HE for $21 total including small packets shipping. Cheap enough to just through together and have some fun over a weekend. And no rivets to count.

Wouldn't mind some sci-fi stuff, or fantasy. (Not "what-if's". Enough of them already!)

Guys, we are the one making World War Toons game. We are working with Meng to produce these cartoony tanks. But as some of you pointed out, one of the biggest motivation behind producing these tanks were to introduce modeling world to the younger builders. Also, come up with kits that could be interesting to more seasoned builders. We really went out of our way to keep the spirit of all the WWII tanks in the game and the plastic model.
