can't tell you right now.I need to know the accurate freight at first，because we are a chinese brand.
Pretty vehicle. But it doesn't have the manual wipers nor does the passenger side seat seem to lift up, but it has about everything else.

Very nice except for a few things... 1. Hopefully the production examples will have the wiring for the headlights hidden, and not dangling beneath the vehicle, and 2. the wheels and tire look terrible, very toy like.
Sorry if I'm too blunt, but thought some constructive criticism could be helpful.
Wish you success with this, and I'm eager to see your future offerings.

Agreed with the wires - they can't be seen. But regarding the tires, I think they look fine; a little hard pumped perhaps, but not bad.
So, well. I guess I could have some use for this, if the price is ok. And of course as long as no absolutely essential figures are released in the meantime.

Looks great (except for the tires- they really need to be fixed. The hubs look wrong, the lug nuts look giant, the tire size seems all wrong, etc). How much, approximately, would it cost?

Now that's funny! Awesome....but we want something else.......:lol
That is what I was thinking... Why would it be in chrome and it looks like they would need a very large monkey wrench to pull these off...
With that said, I still think that they did a very good job...considering it is all metal.

To me it looks like it's rolling on donuts. The rubber/tire is too thick. That's the main thing that looks odd to me (besides the giant lug nuts).

The Jeep does look fine but the big question is why make one in the first place when Dragon Models made a really nice one not too long ago? I will never understand why make a vehicle if someone else has already made one when there are other vehicles that could still be made. Hope that this goes well for you but how about something not already done.

it's all about the price point. can this compete with the Dragon 1/6 model (a kit that you have to paint and assemble yourself)? I don't see how this could be less than $150.00(not counting S&H). perfect? well, maybe not. but it does show potential. good luck. if it does sell, they may well offer more items.

Because it's easier, and cheaper, to do something that has already been researched, developed and produced....just buy the other guy's plastic model, which is already good, and use it to tool up for your own attempt....make a few things different, so you won't be accused of pure copying, and voila, you have a model that you can sell as your own, for many times what your pattern cost.....
Simple, really......so don't waste your time thinking that they will come up with more stuff if this one does well.......they don't don't have anything else they can copy that's already been fully researched and developed......
