The Chinese manufacturer "Meng" brings out - as a limited edition / 1,000 copies worldwide - a Russian T-90 tank as a "Special Edition"!
"Well a tank, so what?", You may say.
But what interesting is what makes this thing a "Special Edition":
On the one hand there is an original Russian medal - which was awarded on the 60th anniversary of the victory in 2005 to all surviving veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
Okay - the circulation of the medal has been around five million, it is not worth a lot and on the Internet you can get it for prices of well under € 10!
I'll show you the whole thing because the second gift is a little treat ...:
A little Vladimir Vladimirovich - of course, bare-chested! - who rides the Russian bear, made of plastic injection in 1:35 ...:
For the little Volodya this photo seems to be the template...
... a fotoshopped persiflage on this well-known photo ...:
The Chinese obviously have a sense of humor when it comes to looking at rulers - as long as they are not their own ...
Order number: ES-005
Price: 79,99 €, plus shipping costs
There exist countless variations of the photo - like the following two...:
Cheers
