A Nice Teaser For Next Week’s Podcast!
Today we received three samples from Mattel of forthcoming releases in their 1:43 Elite series. These were the Ferrari Testarossa (HW5593), Gilles Villeneuve’s 1982 Ferrari 126 C2 (HW5580), and Michael Schumacher’s black Ferrari FXX (HW5591).
I have to say that I was impressed with the quality of all three of them, especially at their £24.99 pricepoint. They were fully finished samples too, so hopefully we will see them released in the not too distant future.
We also received July’s AUTOart delivery today. The highlight was definitely the first colourway of the Bugatti Veyron production car in their Signature Collection, in black and red (AA70906). As with their 1:12 Signature Collection Veyron, the piece of bodywork around the rear of the car is removable and there is an adjustable spring-loaded rear spoiler.
Also on the delivery were two replicas of the Porsche RS Spyder that we have been waiting some time for; the carbon fibre testcar (AA80773) and the yellow DHL sponsored car (AA80774). There were also two new Japanese GT cars, both Honda NSXs, in the colours of Takata (AA80498) and Epson (AA80499).
