Real tanks. Toy size.

Twenty real Second World War tanks, from the Sherman and the T-34-85 to the Tiger I and the Churchill, made into chunky little toys.

They roll across toy battlefields and bonk each other with cartoon shots. There’s no blood and there are no people. A knocked-out tank pops back a moment later.
