...and of course the 1:18 Harrier, which appears to officially be a Harrier II and not a Sea Harrier (even though the model we've seen pics of here has a Sea Harrier, not Harrier II, nose):

Whoa!...that Harrier!...and they may be a bit big, but it might be worthwhile to get an MRAP or two anyway...

 

[MMorelock66]

Curious to see these materialized. Well physical versions, not blueprints.

 

[Psycho Joe Guy]

There a thread here somewhere with the pics of the preproduction Harrier at some toy show. I'll bet those MRAP's are "2015." They've already got pics of all the Witty Wings Typhoons in the package.

Pretty sure that's the same Harrier that NSA and I got to see at SDCC last summer?

Here's the Harrier pics:

Yeah, we've not seen any further development on the Harrier. The 1:16 MRAP is mildly interesting, but the fact remains it's gonna look off next to 1:18 stuff.

 

[blackblast]

I'll buy at least 2 of each one if it's 1:18, other scale like 1:16 don't look good with 1:18 figures.

For some reason, I remembered the the old project Merit was working was an F4 Phamtom...I thought this Harrier was new...huh...

There's also the two Hueys they posted on FB.

Link?

I know NSA reported they were talking about a pair of Hueys with different armament packages, but was there something more that wasn't reported here?

 

[fogger1138]

See if this works:

Fuck....me....running....




I wish they'd stop calling them Bravos, they're most certainly Charlies or Mikes.

Really?

 

[K-Tiger]

Just don't park 'em next to your 1:18 Humvee or AWE Striker.

Precisely.

But still not horrible.

 

[NSA]

Yeah I asked and they said the new Huey was "more like" Q3 2014.

What's odd is the "V1" isn't the first one they released, it's a slick.. so who knows.

This just in!

"Merit International LLC Hi Paul. Price more less the same and available before SDCC"

 

[K-Tiger]

I think it's the V1 of the "new" variations. The art doesn't jive with what we can assume (that they'll just put new parts on an old 21st Charlie model).

V1 is a B model with M157 rocket pods and the M5 grenade launcher. V2 looks like a B with the M16 subsystem (quad M60Cs and M157 pods) with the M5. As aside, V2 looks like it's gonna be another 174th bird.

90-100 bucks, and due before August? Color me interested.

I just don't see any of this happening. 118th is dead in the eyes of manufacturers. Even Hasbro gets the jitters when it comes to making Joe scaled stuff these days.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Man that Harrier is gonna be awesome...but I can't stomach the $300 price...afford it, yes...feel good about it, no...

 

[Monkeywrench]

See if this works:

very interesting

I don't know, Merit/JSI/whoever has been relatively consistent with their offerings for the past few years. Prices haven't been awesome, but not terrible either (Think $100 Huey). The 1/16 stuff seems OK as well.

I hope the Harrier shows up at $199.

 

[G.I. Zmo]

I like much more this Harrier design, than the previously seen version. Do we have any new information about it?

 

[K-Tiger]

Nope.

 

[NSA]

Also.. didn't see this before:

"Merit International LLC 61804 is the model KIT. Built n Painted version will have different item number."

So the Harrier is coming in pre built AND model kit form. Wonder what the price difference will be?

 

[K-Tiger]

150 bucks, +/-.

I just want to see some proto photos of them Hueys.

Most likely not but NSA is working on getting some more Intel.

Meeeeeee too!...shipped!
