Schumacher Mercedes Confirmed (The Partnership, Not Replicas)
Today we received the remaining replicas from the last week of the Minichamps release schedule for 2009.
First up were the two 1:18 2009 BMW F1.09s, of Robert Kubica (DC2905) and Nick Heidfeld (DC2906). We also received the 1:43 #14 Porsche 956 from Le Mans 1986 (P866514B), and the 1:43 BMW M3 Evo ‘Street’ in red (P020307).
There was a new delivery from Mattel too, which included two 1:18 movie replicas; the 1989 Batmobile from the original Batman film (HW1794), and the blue Ferrari 250 GTO from Vanilla Sky (HW9909).
In 1:43 there were some new Ferrari Formula One replicas, Juan Manual Fangio’s 1956 D50 (HW9947), and Gilles Villeneuve’s 1981 126 (HW9945). There was also the 1949 Le Mans winning 166 (HW9940) as well.
All this, of course, has paled into significance against the big news of the day, that Michael Schumacher will be returning to Formula One with Mercedes next year!
