That's a StuG on illegal substances

At various times, it was called schweres Sturmgeschütz auf Fgst. Panther, Sturmgeschütz auf Panther and Sturmgeschütz »Panther« mit 8,8 cm Stu.Kan. 43 so you can legitimately build one, Bob

On the Trumpeter/HobbyBoss Facebook page - a lot of Boxart & colour options - too many for me to post..............

On the Dream Model Facebook page - 'get it soon'

On the ICM website - in addition to the ZiL ( previous post ) more August releases



NO idea what this is - perhaps another 'Squid Game' figure?, or is it another game entirely?
I reckon the Unimog will be pretty popular.............

That Unimog will be a must have for me.

I tried finding out what “The Game Δ” is supposed to be, but that got me nowhere. It says it’s a TV show, but it means nothing to me — or to Google, it seems.

The Game....
The Game is an American television series created by Mara Brock Akil. A spin off of UPN's Girlfriends, the series premiered on its successor, The CW on October 1, 2006.
The series was canceled in May 2009 after three seasons. Viacom's BET Networks would strike a deal with CBS Corporation to develop new episodes of the series, relocating taping of the show from Los Angeles to Atlanta, and announcing its renewal at the April 2010 upfronts. New seasons began airing on BET starting January 11, 2011, with the fourth season premiere drawing 7.7 million viewers, making it the most watched sitcom premiere in cable television history. The show would air for six seasons on BET, being renewed for its final two in 2014, and concluding its run on August 5, 2015.
In May 2021, a revival of the series was ordered by Paramount+ with Robinson, and Chanchez, returning. The revival series premiered on November 11, 2021, and was renewed for a second season in February 2022.

Anything to do with Delta Force, perhaps?

I don't like to be beaten - so after a little browsing - I found this

Another character/participant in " Squid Game"

I wonder if ICM have fallen foul of copyright, as they don't mention SG on the latest model
On their Facebook Page - pictures of the first SG model " O "

Can't say I'm exactly inspired by the figure, aside from the fact that I've never seen SG, it's just a bloke in orange overalls...........

I had found that too, and quickly discounted it because it doesn’t sound like the kind of show in which someone would be noted as carrying an MP 5

Okay, so it is clearly Squid Game, and yeah, using that name on the packaging would require ICM to pay for a licence to use it, so that must be the reason for them to slightly change it. I’m guessing they aim this at fans of the show, as like you say, it does little for me (who’s never watched it and has no real desire to).
