Title: S 6 stealing from DTC?
Post by: morgardee on November 02, 2006, 03:13:11 PM
Just came across this today. It's a helicopter for Sigma Six called "Winged Fury" and it looks like the helicopter from the DTC RHINO.

Also, there is a new Sigma Six tank coming out. I never got a DTC HISS tank. Is this Sigma Six tank based on the DTC Hiss Tank? I'd like to know if it will fit our 3 3.4 sized Joes:

the back end of that  Tank  is definently a 3 3./4  hiss tank.

Not even close.

Even the 2.5 destro won't fit in that one. The whole mold has been rescaled down to be 2.5 compatable.

It's not going to happen. We just have to accept that the Sig six vehicles with cockpits will not support 3 3/4 figures without extensive modification.

Ah nuts. That's a shame. Where did you get your info and has anyone put them beside each other for a photo?

Yeah, these are definitely 2.5" vehicles that will not work with the 3 3/4" scale. I did take a picture of Hit & Run standing next to that 2.5" HISS Tank at the Con, but I can't find it for the life of me now.  He basically towers over the HISS...the figure itself is almost as tall as the vehicle, there's no way he fits.  I think the HISS will be around the same size as the 2.5" Night OPS VAMP, or maybe a bit bigger.

So did they shrink the Winged Fury too? Wasn't the 3 3-4" version a two seater as well?

Well I guess that saves me more money then 'cause I'm not into the 2.5 sized stuff, unless the release the DTC ROCC, then I'm all over that.

Yes, the Winged Fury is a new mold, and a smaller version of the helicopter.

That's good to know. It would save me time from pondering at an aisle in TRU if my joes could fit based on the size of the box.

Heavy Duty in one of those blinged-up RC Es-co-lades with spinning rims that you see at TRU FTW.
