MATCHBOX : MONSTERS

MATCHBOX : MONSTERS

MATCHBOX, a division of Diecast Brand also from Mattel which made the HOT WHEELS. This MONSTER series set of 5 was release in 2006 comes in a blister card packaging with a Diecast car and a Monster. Local retailing at RM$12.90 each at major store.

The set of 5 consisting of : -

1. Wangler Jeep - Dinosaur Skeleton
2. Snow Maintenance Truck - Snow Monster
3. Sea Hovercraft - Giant Sea Monster
4. Chevy Van - Swamp Monster
5. Chevy Truck - Jungle Monster

Each pack is theme accordingly with the monster, which i found to be most suitable. Even the tempo on the cars / vehicle reflect the theme nicely. The monster DO NOT have any articulation/movement, just plain static piece of toys. The paintjob and design is not bad. The same mold is use in other series as well, having difference color to them.
