While collectors can look forward to the usual assortment of repaints and repackaging for 2013, Forces of Valor also intends to offer a number of new toolings for the year ahead, cutting across a wide range of scales, weapons platforms and theatres of operation. Of particular note is their upcoming 1:72 scale renditions of a CH-47D Chinook helicopter, 1:72 take on the Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle, 1:32 scale look at the Krupp truck with towed anti-tank gun, and 1:72 scale modeling of the Russian T-34/76 medium tank. All of the new introductions, excerpted from their 2013 brochure, have been listed in our February 2013 section, and we hope to have better imagery and a clearer idea of when to expect each new product in the days ahead. Enjoy!
Recognizing that a legendary ace helps to spur sales, Unimax has decided to leverage two venerable names from the pages of military history for their early 2013 range. Armor enthusiasts should have no trouble with the name Otto Carius, the diminutive panzer ace who commanded both a TIger I heavy tank and later a Jagdtiger heavy tank destroyer. Their latest 1:32 scale Jagdtiger (#UNI80078) bears his turret identification number ‘201’, which was attached to schwere panzerjager abteilung 512 in the waning stages of WWII.
Also expected is Unimax’ first ever 1:72 scale rendition of a McDonnell F-4J Phantom II fighter-bomber, which bears the ignominious number “100” on its fuselage, signalling its place in history as “Showtime 100” (UNI85021). Piloted by Randy “Duke” Cunningham, this F-4 was famously connected with the supposed North Vietnamese ace, Colonel Toon, during the latter stages of the Vietnam Conflict. Look for both new entrants later this spring.
As part of their early 2013 lineup, Unimax, the makers of the Forces of Valor military vehicle, aircraft and warship range, have announced plans to offer a 1:700 scale reproduction of the HMS Ark Royal (91) (UNI86007). Bundled with all sorts of early WWII-era aircraft such as the Fairey Swordfish, their latest addition to their fleet of diecast warships will probably set sail some time in April. The pre-order window is now open and we hope to have some additional product announcements up shortly.
Foregoing its January shipment, Unimax, the makers of the wildly popular Forces of Valor military series, has indicated that their next batch of product will be coming in February. Several important reintroductions are among the mix, including a 1:32 scale replica of a US 105mm Field Howitzer M2A1 with crewmen (UNI81013). Look for further details concerning these items as well as some of their newest 2013 releases to be announced at the upcoming Toy Fair held in New York City.

In keeping with their month;y released schedule, Unimax has announced a pair of repainted diecast military vehicles for the February time slot. Expected is a second take on their 1:32 scale King Tiger Ausf. A heavy tank (#UNI80077H) and their fifth look at the Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D half-track (#UNI81019H).
Also expected is a reintroduction of their 1:72 scale Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM) and, no doubt, several items that have been previously announced but delayed for whatever reason.
Just in time for the holidays, the December shipment of Forces of Valor products is now en route to us and should be in stock by December 7th. Among the notable new releases is their first-ever M4 Sherman Firefly tank (80064) and the long sought after Zundapp motorcycle with sidecar (82008).
We’ll be turning around this shipment to our customers as soon as it comes in meaning you can still park any of their latest replicas under the Christmas tree this holiday season.
It’s been a long time coming, but Forces of Valor is finally re-releasing its Zundapp motorcycle with sidecar in early December. Other vehicles are also set to storm the tinsel-strewn beaches shortly, making many a collector giddier than a schoolgirl this holiday season.
