Mattel’s New Roadgoing Ferrari Confirmed
Today we received our latest signed replica into stock, which is Carl Fogarty’s 1:12 1990 Isle Of Man TT winning Honda RC30 from Universal Hobbies (UH88032S).
This is the third signed 1:12 Fogarty bike that has been available from us, following on from the now sold out Minichamps 1:12 WSB Ducatis from 1999 and 2000. His Minichamps 1994 (P941202S) and 1995 (P951201S) WSB Ducatis are also available to pre-order from us signed, but we will probably not see those released this year.
The other bit of news today was Mattel confirming their ‘new for 2009’ roadgoing Ferrari replicas. These were announced at the beginning of the year as F142s, but have now been confirmed as the 458 Italia. Red is currently confirmed in 1:18 (HW9893) and 1:43 (HW9953), while a further two colours ‘to be announced’ are available to pre-order in both scales as well, with all six examples due for release in spring 2010.
