Thanks to Andrew P. for this one.
Apparently, Australia has some interesting toys as well, like this remote-controlled tank. First, the logo on the box…
Hmmm, I have seen that before… and then there’s the box art:
That Batchat on the box is also suspicious… oh, right, it was the wallpaper:
Actually, I wonder how difficult must the job of Wargaming legal department be, keeping these fakes off the proverbial streets. I can only imagine there must be tons of products like this one. On one hand, it surely is annoying. On the other hand however, it shows how big a phenomenon has World of Tanks become.
What tank is that? The RC one, I mean. Looks like a panther. Or a Lorraine.
Neither. Its something else. That or modelers did shitty job :D
Maybe a M4 Tiger 40t?
Yes. So much yes
Top one looks like a Leopard 2, bottom is a Tiger
Tiger II with nazi oscilating turret and 88 auto-loader gun
Totally legit in the modellers world and 3 months laters noobs be like:
“Lel SerB, y u no Auto-loader Tiger in-game u cheeky belorussian, historicy lmao, Wot p2w, WoT p2w”
Just like Krokodil thing…..
Maybe WG sold the rights to use the design?
>russian oriented developers
>anyone caring about legality or their opinion
How did you even get this thought?
Because that is how civilised world works – law must be obeyed by everyone, regardless of political preferences etc.
I can’t find a reason to call our world civilised, because of things happening.
>russians
>civilized
You know, you are actually pretty funny.
Happy holidays, mate.
Russian oriented, between two worlds located :D
The big question is…
Is it better quality than the shite WG endorse/make themselves..??
i got a book about german e series tanks and the cover is a wot made wallpaper of jg pz e100
How lazy do you have to be to steal artwork from the biggest tank game? I mean, it is as if I were to steal pictures of elves and gnomes from WoW or something.
Anybody who is into it will recognize this stuff immediately.
Australia seems to be a big market for knock-off toys…
The simple fact is, none of this stuff is made In OZ. Why make it here for real wages when up the road a tad you have 1.3 billion who will make it for tuppence an hour.
No Just all imported I’m afraid. I bet a lot of countries in asia have the same toys.
no, I ment that Australia doesn’t seem to care what crap is eold in their shops. Stuff like this is often sold in legit shops
It is. I’ve seen almost all the major toy lines in fake form in the shops around where I live. It’s all made super cheap in China, and the retailers sell them to improve their profits.
The logo is suspicious, but the batchat isnt for me. If you type batchat 25 in google, this is the second picture, and the first picture that isnt a photo. So i think they just choosed, the easy way, and googled a picture.
As a editor and someone who works in this department I must say that such things as picking the first pic google spits out is and should be a HUGE no no! Always check the source if its copyrighted or not. I would choose a photo of the particular tank that is the model suposed to represent and edit it. Creating a design like that on a mass produced product should always go trough legal department of the manufacturer.
Nope, War Gamming just used this as the base, no creativity from them at all

and they have no place taking a moral ground anyway considering all the stuff (copyrighted material) they use and is posted all over their sites !
That reminds me of this album artwork. http://www.mixtapetorrent.com/system/files/demolition2020.jpg It uses WG artwork, as well as a lot of others that I’m sure many of you will recognise from TV and games.
i think i fount the tank it self but not sure.

The one RC tank I can see in box judging by the side fender skirt looks to be a Tiger I.
