Mars Tank Hunter Figures a Final Look, We look at the final poses of Mars’ future set. I dip into the collection. Breaking news the Herne show has been canceled.
Mars Tank Hunter Figures Finally Poses
Pose seven WWII German soldiers with grenades.the final poss is a german soldier standing with a Panzerschrek.Here is a look at all eight poses together. I feel this will be a set that people will buy just one set.
Collection Time
For some reason, some adult bought for me the large Payton cowboy as a child. It did not fit with my other figures so I used him sparingly. When I went active looking for figures for the collection I came up with a complete of this figure. The figure comes with saddle, hat, horse, bridle, and figure. These days I am more looking for items for resale more than the collection. One of the items on my list is Ideal Battle Action Soldiers. They were made for the Battle Action pieces which were a lot of fun with mechanisms such as the falling tree. The figures are in demand. When I was going to photograph the figure I couldn’t find my piece for a sitting figure. So I used a dinosaur.Some fantasy figures from the collection. The one on the left should be from Chronicles of Narnia. The other figure is from Game Workshop.
German Plastic Show Herne Cancelled
I received this message from Peter Bergner on the Herne Show
Sorry to let you know that I have to cancel my show on the 5th of December 2021 in Herne / Germany due to Corona.
I think that the risk is too high and our health is more important than plastic soldiers.
The next show will be in March 2022 and we will do an outdoor show in June/July 2022.
Yes, pioneers by Revell and their Goliath tracked mine are perfect match .I do know set was label as pioneers but most can be used as well as tank hunters because many have mines and anti tank grenades and other devises used against armor such Goliath . German ww2 pioneers units and Panzer-Pioneer-Battalions were task with construction and demolition more likely but some did anti tank tasks or often mix with tank hunters units in same missions .
Revell set were made extracting -cloned/copied or base direct of 3 ESCI kit built sets ,included the German Sturmtruppen , German Engineers and some poses can be see in one link bellow ESCI set .
That is why were made in 1/35 as they use same ESCI 1/35 scale https://www.ebay.com/itm/313645746060?hash=item4906be478c:g:ZVUAAOSwuU1hH~vZ.
You can add other German figures to the Mars Tank hunters Conte made a German firing a Panzerfaust also TSSD have made a German Panzerfaust figure. ESCI made a German firing a Panzershreck also Italeri and matchbox plus CTS.
I bet there more out there and many from new Speira miniatures also coming up .
FV did other w panzerfaust and 21 C have two poses with Panzerfaust I think too as far I recall but I need double check on that .Dragon can do pocket army series has others and the a rare 6 sets made by other maker I forgot name now sold in window cases has on pose with it ,I got the boxes in storage attic will try get name ..
Marx and lido have 1 pose each too that can be used as well .
Matchbox 1/32 set unfortunately had not pose with Panzerschreck. It was done in the HO set but no in their 1/32 .The sets copies of Matchbox German army in 1/35 approx made in China in 90s did produce a copy of the HO pose with Panzerschreck that do not looks as original HO matchbox pose and very well done in the first copies, later wasted copies are bad. Recently HF China made army bucket set of many armies bring this pose repeated as well .The DGN army sets has other pose too .
Exactly same thing happen with original Matchbox US infantry where HO set has pose with bazooka but not in 1/32 and again China copies in 1/35 were made with pose. An interesting and good addition by Chinese copies .
my thoughts
best..
No Dulcop unfortunately did not in German but yes in American with bazooka that may be what trough you off ,there too much in head to remember with makers I also get thing off a lot and mix with brands and what pose made by each as time pass unless i double check or got fresh in mind .Dulcop in Germans did the only ever made in 1/32 with rare 5 cm mortar and first very well made plastic 1/32 with correct MP MP 40LSMG ,MP44 AR and MG 42 MG in mid 70s (1975/76!?) I did recently a review in all Dulop ww1-ww2 sets made in FB blog that why I recall well.
Thank you much James ;now I saw it ,nice well correct pose made ,unfortunately the uniform is bad done but some paint may help ,i will try get that pose as very unique for time made .
I will post the blog pic here in case others want see it . https://ww2pts.blogspot.com/2013/01/trojan-toy-soldiers.html
There is a couple of Revell German Pioneers that will go with the Mars German tank hunters.

Certainly an interesting set, nice to see such a unique little unit. I wonder what else Mars have in the pipeline……..š¤
Could do with more “Shooting” poses.

I think Dulcop made a German with a Panzerschreck but not 100% sure. The German I have must be a copy like Erwin said about.

I have just remembered that i have a Trojan German crouching firing a Panzerfaust.
Now that is a new x me ,I like see it as I do not have all the poses from Trojan brand .Very interesting.
Hello Erwin if you google Trojan ww2 Germans there is photo of them.
Thank you much James ;now I saw it ,nice well correct pose made ,unfortunately the uniform is bad done but some paint may help ,i will try get that pose as very unique for time made .
