The Mighty Deuce

 Arguably the most popular toy soldier vehicle of all time has finally been resurrected from its all but certain demise. And we have Jeff Imel of Victory Buy to thank for it. The mighty deuce quietly disappeared from the brick and mortar shelves as the 90s were being ushered in. The tooling reportedly sent to South America or thereabouts for some strange reason. So us TimMee fans never got see a Desert Command version of the Deuce and a half cargo truck. Now, here we are, some 30 years later, smack dab in the middle of a global pandemic and we've been given this little piece of our past to help us escape reality ...if only for a few moments. It was well worth the wait. And for you Marx guys out there, you now have a Deuce to haul your German soldiers around the battlefield. Pretend you swiped it from the enemy, slap a German Cross on it and you're good to go. Then there's this blue truck. Yeah. I've scratched a bald spot on my head trying to figure this one out. Hopefully the powers that be will give us the other cool colors Processed Plastic produced back in the day. Perhaps a black Deuce for Shadow Operations as well. We shall see. 

The big question when we first caught wind of the Deuce reissue was whether it would stand up to the vintage version. The answer is a resounding YES. Other than a few tiny bits of flash around the window frames that can be dealt with quite easily, the casting is very clean. The details pretty much exact. It even has the oh-so familiar sound when you shake it. Yeah, it's shiny, unlike the drab originals. But that can be easily remedied with a trip to the sandbox. The sticker sheet gives you lots of options to decorate the Deuce as you see fit. At 20 bucks per set it's a pretty sweet deal I'm sure most of us will be indulging in repeatedly.

This moment has been a long time coming. There were times when I didn't think it would happen. There were times, more recently, that I didn't think I'd be around to see it come to pass. But here we are. Celebrating the return of the Mighty Deuce. Let's enjoy this little moment. It's gonna be a good day, Tater.

Thanks Jeff. You da man.

Cargo Trucks scheduled for April Release

Here are the pre-production samples of the Tim Mee Deuce-and-Half Cargo Truck. Production is supposed to start next week so an early April release is possible.

Cargo Truck Update

According to Jeff Imel, the production of the much anticipated TimMee cargo truck is way behind schedule due to the pandemic and its effects on manufacturing across the globe. So it may not be available to order until early 2021.

Until then, stay tuned and stay safe!
