Hobby Exclusive GreenLight Bigfoot #1 The Original Monster Truck 1974 Ford F-250

This one didn't even come home.  It'll just hang out at work(cut the blister neatly, put the thing back in).

When I was a kid, back in Japan, in the late 80's, we referred to all monster trucks as "bigfoot".  Only after I moved to the U.S. I discovered that Bigfoot was one of the trucks, but these lifted trucks with gigantic tires were called "monster trucks".  I really dug them as a kid.  

I used my pathetic Moto G5 Plus phone to take these pics & it is the worst.  This camera has the ability to focus on the background without fail, leaving the subject blurred.  What a piece of ****.  I need a iPhone so bad.  *Took another pic(08/27/18)

Anywho.  Credit where due, GreenLight did a amazing job with these.  It was $11 shipped from eBay & worth every frigging penny in my opinion.

I'm sorry for the dirty keyboard.  I just cleaned it earlier in the day, too.  Jesus christ.  :(

Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment Deadpool Chimichanga Truck

I am a fan of the ice cream truck casting, even if this is the only one ever to make it onto this blog:

From the random pics post.

I'm also a fan of Deadpool.  When I saw him inside the chimichanga truck, this one was a no-brainer.  If you compare the Deadpool figure inside to the ice cream guy inside the creepy truck, also the driver seat sections from the each truck, you'll see the plastic mold has been updated.  Also slight differences in the triangle windows, roof mounted vents(grilled vs smooth).  So, both casting & base seems to have gone thru some modification.  Check out what orangetrackdiecast has to say about the latest update to this casting, too.

Anywho, back to Deadpool:

Lot of detailing on this one!

Walmart Find: Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment Punisher Van

I don't really buy any hot wheels, or minicars anymore, but I still check the pegs when I'm in stores & today, I thought this was pretty cool:

American Seibu Keisatsu van amirite.  Instead of another retread, new parts & details.  Love the open sliding side door!  **Door doesn't actually slide

Online, I thought this was really crappy "mud" finish?  It only clicked when I held it in my hand(not into comic books): Ghost Rider rides has flaming tires!

At first glance, I thought these were nicely detailed Coke cars by M2..... then saw the price tag.  OMG, man.  Not saying $9 isn't a fair price for M2 cars, but personally, I hate that kind of price hike(these are normally $6, $7 tops).  :(
