Hot Wheels BTTF II DeLorean

2012-01-25T21:08:00.003+08:00

First of all, I would like to wish you'll Blessed Chinese New Year to all my fellow Blogger.

I always would to do some custom modification on some of my 1:64 die cast car. So I decided to go for my favourite car BTTF DeLorean.

Here are DeLorean before I custom modify it.

Here the picture of the DeLorean after some minor modify. It just took me about 1/2 hour to finish this simple project. All I need is a

1, Small hand drill - to open up the chassis and the body of the car

2, Wire cutter - to cut the wheels pin

3, Long nose Pliers- bending the Wheels pin.

4, Super Glue - to glue back the everything

5, Find small piece of a white plastic - as the Fusion turbine and Wa la.

Hope do more on custom made movie car. May be the next project will be my Initial-D AE 86.

Batman Forever

2010-08-11T17:30:00.005+08:00

The BATMOBILE created for the Warner Bros. blockbuster, BATMAN FOREVER, amazed audiences with a revolutionary design full of surprises. Revealing its monstrous engine through portals in the hood and chassis, the vehicle's three-winged aerodynamic design offered both speed and intimidation on the street. The car's impressive arsenal of rocket-launchers, jet thrusters and even wall-climbing traction offered Batman plenty of firepower to take down super-villains TWO-FACE and THE RIDDLER in a battle for control over GOTHAM CITY!

The BATMOBILE re-emerged in the 1997 Warner Bros. film, BATMAN & ROBIN, as a streamlined version of its predecessor, capable of delivering explosive speed in action-packed style. Reconfigured to house the driver in a single-seat cockpit, the vehicle's two-wing design pushed its speed capabilities to the max, while ensuring Batman's pursuits were undetected by his foes. The BATMOBILE's unbeatable performance out-matched even his arch-rival MR. FREEZE, who's cold-blooded attempts to destroy Batman eventually came to a bitter end!

The Batmobile for Batman Forever .

The original cockpit are not able to open. But after my modification, it is able to open like the 1989 Batmobile ver.

This is the latest version of streamlined Batmobile. In the movie Batman is driving this Batmobile and Robin is riding a super bike.

This Robin car also have some unique design and detail. The new stuff is the Batman Forever logo wheel cap & tyre trade design. Check out the picture below. Hope you like the review of this two Batmobile.

I first run the tyre over a stamp pad then run it again on a white paper.

Hope you like the review of this two Batmobile.

I got this Kyosho 1/24 Mini-Z, Initial-D Toyota Trueno AE86 (white top) back in 2002. The car build up is very detail. It looks even better when you put on the lighting set & drive it on the Mini-Z track.
Still remember I was playing it at this Mini-Z shop at Subang Jaya. They have the mini-Z track custom made it with a small hill with a few hair pin corner. Back then we even race it with the shop light off to make it more real feel. This car is very nice to look at but I even nicer to drive one and it is more affordable then the real Toyota AE86.

This actual packing for this Kyosho first version of this Initial-D AE86 car do not come with any display case. But it come with a very nice packing box.

Latest member to my die-cast Initial-D family, Sprinter Trueno AE86 collection.
It is a not for sell item, made by Tomy Takara. It is specially made for the movie Initial-D acted by Jay Chou.
So what is different for this AE86 compare with the AE86 that come with the Book set?
1, It is more detail. (front & rear car plate, and rear signal light)
2, It come with Jay Chou and the real AE86 print at the side of the box.
3, It come with the stainless steel car name plate.

Some say this car is a gift, for the first premier screening for the Initial-D movie at HK.

I not sure which is true. The main thing is I'm glad to have it, on my movie car collection.

Some new Tomica Long version die-cast

2010-07-02T11:14:00.008+08:00

Got this two long Tomica's for almost two month now, from SG. I didn't see any of this cars sell over here.

It seem like the new Tomica line of cars may not be available in Malaysia for a while. Until the local distributor can get Tomica line of products to get the CE approve there products.

This Bucket Wheel Excavator - short form is BWC must be very big. It takes 350 to this Tomica size about 4" inch.

This Tomica BWC is made in Vietnam has 5 movable parts.

1, rotatable Bucket wheel.

2, elevated bucket wheel

3, swingable tail feeder

4, turnable head from the wheels,

5, movable belted wheels

Real fact of this (BWC) - Theoretical Capacity 3200m3/hr, Walking Speed 1.9-7.3m/min, Digging Parameters -0.6-14.0m/min. Bucket number/capacity 12 buckets @ 0.7m3 each

This picture is the real BWC . If you can see the vehicle operator control room is at the top of this BWC. I think it should be about 60 feet tall. (like you are driving a 5 story building around)

The following computer generated image show what does this big thing do in real life.

This another Tomica Long version series as a Locomotive type Bus Seishungo.

This bus is very heavy, due to the die-cast metal for the locomotive truck head & it's trailer use as a bus in some theme park in Japan and it is made in Vietnam.

Micro Initial-D

2010-07-01T14:20:00.003+08:00

I got this Micro Initial-D car set from a local key chain stall.
Seriously it is very detail for it's size. I have no idea what scale should I put is at. (may be is 1/192)
It is made by plastic material, none moveable parts on such a small car. It does come with a key chain holder which I remove it earlier.
I think it should have 4 model only, because I did see any other model available there at the stall. Hope you find it cute too.

How small actually is this micro AE86 is. This picture below does show how small is this micro cars is. Now this picture also make my 1/64 scale Tomica AE86 look big ya.

From the picture I guess it should be 3 times smaller the a 1/64 scale Tomica AE86. That is why I think it should be 1/192 scale.

King of pop, Michael Jackson

2010-06-25T09:59:00.005+08:00

It is already been one year, after our King Of Pop died on last year June 25 2009.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and philanthropist. Referred to by many as the King of Pop, His contribution to music, dance and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene alongside his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in the mid-1960s, and began his solo career in 1971.

Jackson died on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest. Before his death, Jackson had reportedly been administered drugs such as propofol and lorazepam. The Los Angeles County Coroner declared his death a homicide. Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief, and as many as a billion people around the world may have watched his public memorial service on live television.

If I would select a car to represent MJ. I would choose this The Black Bandit 2006 Chevrolet Camaro made by Greenlight. One of the reason I choose this Camaro is, it is an American made car, It is well know since it first series of Camaro (even Transformer also use it as Bumble Bee), Strong & powerful appearance, just like MJ.

This my first BB GL car, the paint job is excellent. All the lights, car plate & Chevy logo are all well aligned.

The BB series 3 is the third release of the previous hobby exclusive Black Bandit Cars, first introduced in 2004. Each BB car is meticulously produced with a triple-black theme. Black body paint,block interior detail, and custom block wheels are the distinguishing characteristics of these "outlaw" vehicles.

May be you also have other car that you feel suitable for MJ too. You are feel free to drop me some comment ya. Thanks.

2010-05-25T09:22:00.010+08:00

Toy Story characters transform into Hot Wheels vehicles!

Wow, Disney PIXAR has did a very strong promo on this Toy Story 3 lately.

You even can find a 5 foot tall Woody & Buzz at a new Toy 'R' Us at Subang.

Now Hot Wheels is also interested on TS3 too.

Check out the new hot Toy Story 3 characters car by Hot Wheels.

It look so cute and cool too.

You will find it very identical on their colour and strips from the character to it's car. I personally find the original colour choice on the back of the card is nicer. But never the less I still like to have collect them all.

The Toy Story 3 car is selling at RM 16.90 each, Which I think it's still cheaper then the PIXAR movie CARS selling at RM 31.90 each.

IRONMAN 2

2010-05-14T14:45:00.005+08:00

This is another Audi R8 made by MBX. I think this black R8 will match up to Lt. Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes when hi suit up as War Machine.
This black R8 by MBX was not as detail as the silver R8. So I had did some personal touch up on the rear light.
If you look close this black R8 come with a unique car plate "NV ME" check it out at the picture below.

Tony Stark Favourite Car.

2010-05-10T12:05:00.008+08:00

IRONMAN AND HIS SUPER CAR AUDI R8.
I got Audi R8 when it release in 2008 by Matchbox. It took me a while to decide to have it up on the blog. Until I found its Ironman mini figures to stand side by side with Tony favourite Audi R8.

IRONMAN mark I

IRONMAN mark II

IRONMAN mark III

IRONMAN mark VI

This picture was found in the movie Ironman 2. He also has his Ironman mark I, II, III for collection in his lap.

This mini Ironman figures is made by Hasbro.

Yup, I am now also into Super Hero Mini Figures. This set was found at Singapore TRU. I try to look for it in local TRU but no where can be seen. This the only set that you can have all of the Ironman mark I, II, III & VI in a single play set.

The Ironman 2 is using the latest R8 Spyder is practically custom-made for the superhero, a technological genius who needs to drive the car without his high-tech suit, but doesn’t want to miss out on innovative technology.

Will wait and see who will make this, HW or MBX?

"Holy Grail" of all Hot Wheels

2010-02-03T10:24:00.002+08:00

Some say collecting die cast is just collecting some toy car for your own fun (siok sendiri).
For me it is an investment, like shares or bonds.
Sometime back some one told me that the most expensive HW car is a VW bus with a surf board suck in behind.
Just found out one of the owner is Bruce Pascal. If you have an extra $150K USD laying around, you can own it.

To know some background on the pink Rear Loading Beach Bomb owned by Bruce Pascal.

Please read it at http://www.thetoypeddler.com/cgi-bin/ttp/blubox.cgi?id=13

SUBARU 360

2009-07-29T09:40:00.007+08:00

SUBARU 360 YOUNG SS

The Subaru 360 was the first automobile mass produced by Fuji Heavy Industries' Subaru division. Rather than a scaled-down conventional auto, it used a number of innovative features to produce a car to address government plans to produce a small "people's car" with an engine no larger than 360cc when most in Japan could not afford a car. The body size and the engine capacity were designed to match within Japan's kei car regulation. Nicknamed the "ladybug" in Japan, it was one of Japan's most popular cars, and among the smallest cars in the world to attract a significant following. It was a significant a step up from microcars such as the Isetta as the first kei car that had four wheels and room for 4 passengers. 392,000 units were produced in Japan from 1958 to 1971. Production ended for the 360 and was replaced by the Subaru R-2.
The car's name was derived from the size of the 356 cc engine.

SUBARU360 is so popular & being recognize by so many people. Even Play Station game Gran Turismo has it own class of Subaru 360 race.

This is my first Tomica Limited box set with Collector Book No.2. I wish the get the rest of the set too.

This other two TL No. 0041 Subaru 360 cars. Which was release back in 22 May 2004 at Japan.

This is the TL collector's book. It is printed in Japan and it is in Japanese. The following picture is taken from this book, most of it is in black & white.

The Subaru 360 car No. 9 & No. 12 in the leading group

Subaru 360 race in 400cc and below category

Again Subaru 360 car No. 9 & No. 12 has the fastest qualifying amongst it's class

Look at car no. 9 goes, smooth and steady. Sorry NO DRIFTING at that time.

Anti row bar was invented back then. Look at it's row & of course there is no low profile tires too

Subaru 360 has a unique way of open it's doors, even a Sumo wrestler can fit in this small car

SUBARU 360 YOUNG SS (newer look fro the 360)

Finally the Legendary SUBARU 360 Car No. 9 was well kept even it's original Race No.

Here is how it looks like from the inside of a Subaru 360. It's only have 4 gears, the stick next to the gear knob is the hand break, the back view mirror in on the dash board, side window can not be slide down and the dash broad is all metal, no air-con, just have to turn the front side window outward to scoop outside air in to car.

MILITARY MUSCLE, M1A1 TANK

2009-07-07T14:10:00.010+08:00

Notable features of the M1 Abrams include the use of a powerful gas turbine engine, the adoption of sophisticated composite armor, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety.

London Double Decker Bus

2009-07-02T17:29:00.009+08:00

The Bristol Lodekka was a low-height double-decker bus built by Bristol Commercial Vehicles in England.
Bristol manufactured over 5200 Lodekkas from 1949 to 1968, as a standard double-deck vehicle for the UK state-owned bus sector. With all examples bodied by Eastern Coach Works in Lowestoft, they have a traditional half cab design and a lower floor level allowing a low overall height. The first LD-series and the later FL and FS had a rear platform, but the FSF and FLF had a front entrance. Most were powered by 5 or 6-cylinder Gardner engines, with fewer having a Bristol or Leyland power unit. With the arrival of more modern "OMO" or one person operated buses, such as the Leyland Atlantean and Bristol VRT (the Lodekka's successor), many Lodekkas found themselves relegated to driver training duties. Surrey-based Top Deck Travel converted approximately 100 to "decker home" caravan standard between 1973 and 1997, and used these buses on extended tours to Europe, Asia and and North America.

This abandon Bristol Lodekka was found in one of the bungalow at Petaling Jaya.

Tomica #45, Mazda Cosmo Sport as a Ultraman movie car.

2009-06-11T13:53:00.012+08:00

This my only car that relate to Ultraman my super hero. This #45 Mazda COSMO Sport is made by Tomica in a small little yellow & black box. Brought at Hong Kong back in 2005. It is very detail too. It has the logo on the front & a Cosmo word next to the left side front lamp, a Mazda word at the back of the car & not to mansion the MAT wording and the red stripes all over the car.

The first Mazda to bear the Cosmo name is 110S was first 2-rotor rotary engine powered series car. A prototype was introduced at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show, and 80 pre-production Cosmos were produced for the Mazda test department (20) and for dealership testing (60) between 1965 and 1966. Full production began in May 1967 and lasted through 1972, though Cosmos were built by hand at a rate of only about one per day. The car was also featured in the show Return of Ultraman.

Ultraman's creator was Eiji Tsuburaya from Tsuburaya Productions, a pioneer in special effects who was responsible for bringing Godzilla to life in 1954. The show original run was at July 17, 1966 – April 9, 1967. I wasn't born yet .

Those swirling colors that opened the show and the weird music always got me excited as a kid. Ultraman was simply awesome, and although I have not seen the show in over thirty years I can hear him yelling "Hyata" and see the red dotted laser lines emanating from his crossed arms. That ever slowing flashing heart. When I was a kid last time, Ultraman teach me that evil and wrong are to be put down, even at the risk of personal sacrifice. "Hyata!"
