Its been seventy years since the US Marine Corps has had to take and hold a beachhead, thereby making it one of the riskiest if rarest forms of taking the battle to the enemy. So, it makes sense that Dragon is taking the same route in 2021, re-introducing its line of Neo Armor vehicles to the diecast community with the imminent release of two armored amphibious assault vehicles.

Expected in mid June, both DRR63019 and DRR63073 are long over due, initially slated for a mid 2020 showing, but they’re soon-to-ship status hopefully signals Dragon’s renewed interest in the pre-assembled military vehicle category. While no new “chase” vehicles are included in either assortment, its been a very long time since Dragon offered up an AARV as part of their military vehicle series. Not quite 70 years, but awful close. Happy Memorial Day!
