For The 1/64 Fanatics
Well what do you know, it seems Matchbox is planning a bit of a comeback for the Convoy line. After the line disappeared from both Walmart and Target in the US, I figured this line was done for, but the most recent sneaks on the Matchbox Instagram suggest there’s some great stuff in store! Technically,... Continue Reading →
Matchbox just dropped some amazing new sneaks in their Friday Instagram post, including quite a few recolors we’ve never seen before. Let’s jump right in!

Another Sunday means another toy show haul, and first up is the BMW M1 Procar featuring a Project Cars livery. This model was released as part of the Eurospeed set from the early days of the Car Culture line, a set which sadly managed to elude me when it first came out. While I generally... Continue Reading →

It’s always amazing to see a new casting with some Matchbox heritage, and we’ve been getting spoiled lately with the modernized versions of classic castings being released left and right.

Even when the shelves of retail stores are empty post-Christmas, you can always count on a toy show to be a treasure trove of exciting models and some great deals. This Sunday was no exception! Can you believe Greenlight made a model of an Iowa State Patrol car? I don’t normally collect Greenlight models, but... Continue Reading →
When the Karma GS-6 prototype casting was unveiled at the Gathering 2022, I dubbed it the surprise of the show. This car serves as a successor to the important but somewhat forgotten Fisker Karma casting, and I couldn’t wait to get these two models together to compare them. If you’re unaware of the history of... Continue Reading →
I wrote a fairly critical article when Matchbox’s 918 Spyder first hit the market in its gray and gold deco.

One of my biggest criticisms was the casting choice... Continue Reading →
