The Forces of Valor Update: The Armored Onslaught Gathers Momentum

Waltersons, the new owners of the Forces of Valor brand, seems to be hard at work — both in the audio visual department and mold-making shop — getting their newest steel beasts ready for action. As can be seen here, their second early production Tiger I heavy tank has been unveiled to its adoring public complete with an all-new commander figure drawn from the Deutsches Afrika Korps. While an in-depth video has yet to be hammered out, the manufacturer did provide images of the vehicle from a number of vantage points, and will likely talk up the vehicle in the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, their second Sherman tank has gotten its nose powdered, so-to-speak, with a brand new three-minute video showing the vehicle and its attendant features from a multitude of angles. The manufacturer went to great lengths to show the differences between this vehicle and their first Sherman, which is still expected in the weeks ahead. Currently both the new Sherman and Tiger tanks are slated for an April release, although that could easily slip if FOV is unable to hit its target date and the congestion issues plaguing many US ports still haven’t eased.
