I know, you thought I wrapped this all up yesterday with a nice little bow. Didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU?! Well, you’re wrong. I have some more to say. Some of this might give you a feeling of deja-vu, but we got some more pictures and information last minute, and I figured I’d wrap it all up with some final thoughts today. I don’t apologize for reusing some of my thoughts from Day 4, but then I’ve never been all that apologetic. First off, I want to give a big thanks to everyone out in the field who got us some great information and pictures: NSA, Mandingo Rex, TofuJesse, and Duffman. Seriously, you guys, thanks a bunch! And to the guys here at home keeping the forum running with the day to day routine, and helping to gather and present all ... Read More »

Here we are at Day 4, Sunday, the last day of SDCC. It hasn’t been the best as far as the news we got from varying lines, and the amount of 1:18th offerings was pretty slim. It was slightly disappointing on that front, though we did get some outstanding news from Merit and The Bridge Direct, which helps quell some of the disappointment.

Well recently this brilliant handcrafted piece of art was raised from the grave. Fitting since it is a Zombie custom. Well, we here at the Fighting 118th decided to give this an official spotlight.

  We here at the Fighting 1:18th have a couple announcements to share. Both of which were discovered and brought to our attention by the ever informative and consummate F1:18 straight-man, K-Tiger! They are fairly exciting bits of news, and at least it gives us a glimpse into the future of 1:18 scale and the options that we, as collectors, have ahead of us. And what do these companies have to tantalize us, and seduce the money from our wallets?     First up is Merit’s “new” Huey. While I’m excited that we’ll be getting a Huey again, I have to wonder about their choice in mold. Perhaps this is all they had to choose from, and I’m not entirely certain that it’s an “all new” mold. It bears enough resemblance to 21st’s Hogshead II to make someone believe that ... Read More »
