Tim Mee Toy Production News: May 2024
Posted by Jeff Imel on
Tim Mee Toy® Realistic Reissues:
Production of the Hercules AC-130 has been delayed as the big machine needed to mold the fuselage hasn't been operational since moving it to the new factory in Pennsylvania. Some great progress was made in April and the machine is finally coming back to life. The next step is testing it with a smaller mold to check that everything is working. This machine will also enable us to reissue other big items like the Tim Mee Toy Aircraft Carrier, Western Fort, and the 3-3/4 action figure scale Star Battle Spaceship (if there is enough interest),
Two new Modern Armored Car color variants, Air Support 8 inch helicopters, and WW2 P-38 Lightning Fighter planes arrived in April:
- >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
- >TM-67910 WW2 P-38 Lightning Fighter Plane 2pc OD
- >TM-67911 WW2 P-38 Lightning Fighter Plane 2pc Tan
- >TM-67913 WW2 P-38 Lightning Fighter Plane 2pc Blue
- >TM-67919 WW2 P-38 Lightning Fighter Plane 2pc Silver
The vintage Processed Plastic Co. B-29 Superfortress Bomber Plane mold was recently tested and after some polishing is ready for production. It's about 1:125 scale with a 13.5 inch wingspan. These should be available around June along with the new Battle Transport sets:
- >TM-67980 WW2 B-29 Superfortress Bomber Airplane OD
- >TM-67981 WW2 B-29 Superfortress Bomber Airplane Tan
- >TM-67983 WW2 B-29 Superfortress Bomber Airplane Blue
- >TM-67989 WW2 B-29 Superfortress Bomber Airplane Silver-Gray
- >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
Another reissue planned for later this summer is the Racing Team figures. The army toy colors will be offered as 'Military Mechanics and Media' as they make good specialist figures such as mechanics, ground crew, test pilot, and film crew. Here's the insert card art and test shots of the Racing Team and B-29:
- >TM-67820 Military Mechanics & Media 18pc OD Green
- >TM-67821 Military Mechanics & Media 18pc Tan
- >TM-67822 Military Mechanics & Media 18pc Gray
- >TM-67823 Racing Team Pit Crew & Media 18pc Blue
- >TM-67826 Racing Team Pit Crew & Media 18pc Red
- >TM-67828 Racing Team Pit Crew & Media 18pc White

very nice! but are you guys gonna plan on making other vintage things? like the vintage tim mee elevated cannon and square cabbed truck or the empire pt boat?
Definitely have interest in the Star Battle Spaceship, would love to see a picture of it! Glad to hear the good news about the Hercules AC-13
Will you be having any Daniel Boone
Very clever on the racing set being used as military and media. I certainly will want to pick up some of those in green for Army and blue for Navy and Air Force. Always something new and surprising from Tim Mee.
