Tim Mee Toy Production News: March 2024
Posted by Jeff Imel on
Tim Mee Toy® Realistic Reissues:
Production of the Hercules AC-130 is stalled as the big machine that molds the fuselage has been a challenge to get operational. If we can't make some progress within the next few weeks we'll look at sending to the mold to another factory for the initial production run.
The silver-gray AC-130 weapon parts packs and OD Green props parts packs arrived last month, along with the Combat Convoy boxed set and some new vehicle color variants:
- TM-67798 C-130 Hercules Gunship Silver Weapons Parts
- TM-67950 C-130 Hercules Gunship Prop Parts OD Green
- TM-67757 Combat Convoy 64pc Box Set OD vs. Tan
- TM-67765 Modern Armored Car 2pc Green
- TM-67763 Modern Armored Car 2pc Gray
- TM-67784 Combat Fighter Jets 4pc Green
- TM-67785 Combat Fighter Jets 4pc Pink
- TM-67881 Army Rescue Helicopter Tan
Blue and Pink Modern Armored Car variants will arrive late March and the Attack and Transport 8 inch helicopters might also arrive this month.
- TM-67764 Modern Armored Car 2pc Blue
- TM-67766 Modern Armored Car 2pc Pink
- TM-67920 Attack & Transport Helicopters 2pc OD Green
- TM-67921 Attack & Transport Helicopters 2pc Tan
- TM-67923 Attack & Transport Helicopters 2pc Blue
- TM-67927 Attack & Transport Helicopters 2pc Black
The Tim Mee motor pool will be expanding this spring. The 'Battle Transport' round fender jeeps and pickup trucks were originally produced by Strombecker Company. The molds tagged along with the Tim Mee Toy move to Pennsylvania since they fit right in with the M16 soldiers, Modern Armored Cars, M34 Cargo Trucks, and M3 Artillery. The hitches have been revised so they can also tow the artillery. Molding is complete, and the next step is a pneumatic fixture needs to be built that will press the wheels onto the axles. I'm estimating these will be available in April or May:
- TM-67930 Battle Transport M38 & Pickup Truck OD Green
- TM-67931 Battle Transport M38 & Pickup Truck Tan
- TM-67936 Battle Transport M38 & Pickup Truck Red
