The 21st Century Toys version was one of the best 1:18 scale tanks released, getting an A- from our review staff. How does JSI's version stack up? Read More »

Despite this line, and its companion 1:18 scale figures, only being available at Target stores, Unimax's Forces of Valor: Bravo Team has become a blessing for modern era 1:18 scale fans. Despite not having a lot of "action features" Unimax delivers extremely durable toys with an incredible amount of external details for the right price. The M3A2 Bradley is no exception. Read More »
