    LANARD The Corps! --- Rhino Tank review

    The Corps! --- Rhino Tank



    It's extremely difficult to find 1:18 scale tanks that not only fit 1:18 action figures but also have real working functional treads. This is the Rhino Tank and it features everything that I just stated in the previous sentence: space for figures, arsenal of weapons, and yes boys and girls --- working treads!



    This tank unfortunately is no longer available in stores. I'm not sure why. It's easily the best and sickest and most freaking badass tank that Lanard has EVER made for The Corps! series. This tank is f-ing awesome! Period! End of discussion.

    I once saw this tank in Walmart out of the corner of my eye. I don't understand why I didn't bother looking at it and didn't buy it. I hate myself every time I remember that!

    The tank features room for a driver and gunner. The main portion of the tank features four rocket missiles that swivel via a ball and socket turret and has great mobility. See that orange button? You press it and all of a sudden, these 4 badass mean looking rocket missiles start doing this POM POM action with rocket firing sounds! The rocket tips also light up!



    The tank features a badass camouflage paint job and if that wasn't enough, it has real working treads. So yeah it's not one of those crappy action figure tanks that has fake treads and that you can't have fun with by playing in the dirt or outdoors. No this thing is made for both indoors and outdoors. That's exactly what a tank toy should always do. To me the most important feature of a tank toy is its treads. If the treads are fake, I could care less about the tank. Heck it could have the BIGGEST turret with rapid firing missile action but if it's got fake treads, to hell with it.

    There's a chance that Lanard may re-release this tank and if that happens, Battlewagon is gonna be picking up a whole army of these badass Rhino tanks! Oh yeah!

    credit for this review and pictures go to Dinoviper! He's the first to ever provide an awesome review of this sick toy complete with pictures. Don't understand why no one in the whole planet ever reviewed this tank which has existed already for a good number of years. Oh well, the world is weird, that is no surprise.

    Till next time with more Corps reviews! Battlewagon out!

    In all of my trips to the toy stores over the years I can say I have never seen that thing, was it common?

        technically it's not a tank as it has no armor or Main gun....It's a tracked Missile carrier. it's out of proportion but it's an MLRS Mutiple Missile Launcher which was first seen just before the first Gulf War (Aka Operation Desert Storm). A BadAs piece of hardware in real life and awesome in this toy representation
