Here's the latest Tim Mee Toy production news:   Red and black color variants of the venerable Patton Tanks arrived just before Christmas:   Here's a peak inside the Tim Mee Toy Patton Tank mold: I don't have an update on a timeline for new Hercules AC-130 production, but it remains a high priority for 2023. I know lots of folks are waiting for these. Yet more new color variants of the M16 soldiers are in the works: rust-brown, powder blue, and lime green (previously called bright green). These might be available around March: OD Green and Silver-Gray Prop Plane...

Tim Mee Toy production moved to Pennsylvania this year after the Michigan factory that produced the product line since 2011 closed. The new factory is still setting up equipment to produce large items like the Hercules AC-130 Gunship and Walker Bulldog Tanks, so unfortunately there won't be any Hercules sets available in time for Christmas 2022, and Walker Bulldog tanks will run out soon.

This was a great help to the factory so they could see exactly what the unassembled pieces looked...

Here's a small update about the Tim Mee #749 Deuce-and-a-Half 2-1/2 Ton CARGO TRUCK project. I know folks want to know when, how much, will it come in tan?, etc., but I don't have those answers just yet. Last May I sent off a vintage example to get quotes for a new mold and then....crickets. Here's the deal - some of you may recall the large scale Tim Mee #739 Jeep reissue finally arrived last fall, but was nearly 2 years late. That was due to several delays from the factory's toolmaker when a new wheel mold had to be...
