The grandsons, ages 2 and 6, love playing with these tanks along with their Army men. Our granddaughter, age 4, was delighted with the pink tanks so she could join in a battle with her brothers. They are durable enough for rough play in a sand pile. They come with USA and star stickers for the kids to put on.

And this company has great customer service! I had a question on one item, spoke to a real human being, and received an email with an answer to the question within 15 minutes. I will be making more purchases from VictoryBuy in the future.

My grandkids had a great army War with them...

The products were smaller than I expected. Still, good toys that may last only a short time.

Remember, folks: these are newly-manufactured reproductions of a toy that was first designed and sold in the 1950's. It's also a toy version of a weapon system (M42 Duster) that was in service from the mid-40's to the mid-60's. Toys from this era were designed to be durable and inexpensive. They didn't move on their own, light up, or make noise. They are what they are.

That said, these are quality versions. These are well-cast in sturdy plastic with sharp detail and little or no flash or sprue from the molding process. The wheels roll freely. The turret turns easily and the guns elevate.

That said, the original design skimped on detail below the top edge of the hull. I will probably relocate the turrets to the chassis of a newly-made M48 Patton or similar knockoff (see picture) without feeling guilty about modifying or destroying a collectible toy from someone's childhood.
