That Subaru brz looks definitely way better than the boring Tomica version in many aspects ( the more realistic and accurate scale in particular ) can't wait to get one. Thank you for your super informative video :)

Interesting perspective, but I think Tomcia might have them beat 🤔

Great vid! BRZ the best in this 2024 series - I found one at Walmart today, super lucky. I have a couple Tomica's but man, they are missing details... Tomica BRZ missing side mirrors, wipers, less details on lights/grill .. my Matchbox BRZ has a deeper blue like the Tomica and love the metal underside! Sweet casting;

They tend not to have side mirrors to comply with Japanese regulations, and the fact they may rip holes in the boxes. Thanks man!

All collectors and moving parts should have an opening hood, not doors, not trunk, just hood.
@matchboxman15182 ай бұрын
Agreed, I kinda like the trunks, but the doors are useless because they never look right. The trunks and hoods have more of a use, especially dioramas

Yeah, I actually ran into a major problem with the Celica. I guess when they put them together and I’ve come across two like this. I made the mistake of buying one like this because I couldn’t see it in the package before buying it. Evidentially where the rivet is placed the force or too much pressure to where it cracked the bumper on the front end, so I now have three of the Celicas and the one with the cracked bumper that I’m stuck with. I am going to work into a diorama where with it parked and the hood up you won’t see the defect on the car.I do agree Mattel needs to step it up with the quality control on a five dollar car.
@matchboxman15183 ай бұрын
Agreed man! It’s getting harder and harder to justify the $5. We know matchbox is capable, their $1s run circles around Hot wheels!

@@matchboxman1518 agreed I don’t understand why they failed on a five dollar car when the Toyota MR2 for example, other than not coloring the top of the headlights, they did amazing on the job of the car and then what did they do? They did a second generation in the collectors edition with moving parts that the tempo the opening doors in everything from the ground up was just poor execution. And the only reason I justified getting that many duplicates was, I wanted to keep one in the package because the artwork was beautiful and I didn’t want to destroy it but but I did want to display one because the car to me was a very symbolic car if you’re a Toyota fan.

I'll go with the BRZ. That 442 is probably OK if you don't have a Greenlight version because it's way too small. I know Matchbox does not do true 1/64, but still.

I like that Celica is best of bunch, but yes maybe little bit too high or/and short and could have smaller wheels. Usually i like Olds 442, but i'm not sure about this, body and details look nice, but it's way too high and way too big wheels, just doesn't look right, looks too much donk and suv. And those quality issues 🙁 I'm happy with my Johnny Lightning and Greenlight black bandit 442 models. Porsche and BRZ look good, but not my cup of tea (because I like older cars)
@matchboxman15183 ай бұрын
Yeah the olds just is weird one. Love the real car though. Totally agree that the Celica could have used smaller wheels!
