Elite Force VS Bravo Team?

[troopsofdoom]

I'm looking to get a M1A1 Abrams tank. Which is better, the BBI Elite Force or the Forces of Valor Bravo Team? They look so similar in pictures, which toy line is better?

I personally like Forces of Valor better (my Sherman is that brand) only because the last item I bough that was BBI broke with in the first few min of playing with it.
Granted It was a figure that fell appart and the weapon packs I bought broke as well with in about a few minutes they broke into several pieces I was not happy and dont plan to buy any BBI stuff anytime soon. Thats just my thoughts though hope they help.

The Forces of Valor one will also be about 10X cheaper as they are still sold at Target and the BBI ones you'll most likely have to go the ebay route.

My bbi Abrams is way better than my fov Abrams in terms of detail and "feel". I will try to do a comparison for you tonight after work

I only own the BBI Little Bird. Haven't any problems with it or the pilot yet.

I'm doing a trade so price isn't an issue. Although what I've seen in online stores FOV is more expensive.

That would be a really big help. I was told that FOV has better detail.


So far these comments have made me more indecisive than before. :p I'd like to get some more opinions from everyone out there.

Bravo team is better. I have both. BBI is lighter which to me means not alot of work was put into manufacturing. The color of the BBI is a little off compared to Bravo team. Bravo team is heavier and to me looks like an M1 My conclusion go with Bravo team's m1 tank and m2 bradley.Plus the color scheme of Bravo Team matches that on desert tan Humvees from BBi and 21st century. The realism is unequaled!!

Upon further review, I do not have a FOV Abrams, it is the one you get from Big Lots, which would make it Chap Mei I suppose, which is probly why Ive never taken a picture of it. It's ok, but undersized and the details are lacking. However, the BBi Abrams is an excellent toy/model almost. I can't see anyone being disappointed in it. I took pics of them side by side, but I can't find my camera cord, but I have several shots of the BBi abrams as seen here:

Forces of Valor is the company and Bravo Team is the name of their 1/18 line, I believe. Like BBI's Elite Force.
