#532 Mc Toy – Motorized Robot – Dump Truck In Addition To Jeep (Around 1988)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

We convey talked several times most MC Toys inward this blog. I fifty-fifty wrote a brusk history of the fellowship inward 2 entries (#390 in addition to #391), although this history focused almost entirely inward die-cast cars. This fourth dimension I wan to introduced some other type of toy yesteryear the May Cheong Group: transformable robots.

The information for this article has been retrieved from our friend-blog hisparobot.

MC Toys´ transformers are called Motorized Robots, at that spot were several robots made, most of them real similar to each other. All robots are transformable inward vehicles amongst a pull-back motor ("dyno-drive"). Other features of these robots are that they include plastic in addition to metallic element parts, soft plastic tyres in addition to unproblematic transformations. The pull-back motor is a removable slice that tin live inserted inward either means depending if the toy is inward robot means or inward vehicle mode. The motor industrial plant inward both modes!

Each robot is merely about 9-10 cm tall, in addition to was sold inward private blisters. There seems to live too gift sets including to a greater extent than than 1 robot. There were too a serial of bigger transformable robots, called the Mega Motobots (around xiii cm tall).

Among the Mega Motobots at that spot are trucks in addition to off-road vehicles. As their smaller brothers, these were too made of plastic in addition to metal, in addition to they were all real similar to each other. New in addition to distinctive features are chromed parts, similar the front end grill or the exhaust pipes, that could live detached in addition to placed every bit "antennas".

• Trucks: crane, burn downwards brigade, charge trailer in addition to tanker
• Off-Road vehicles: explorer, military, snowplow 

The off-road vehicles (or some of these) had audio in addition to lights in addition to were for this operate battery operated.

According to hisparobot, apart from MC Toys, Motorized Robots convey too been sold every bit "Motobot" (Maisto, ZEE, Intex Creation), "MotoRobot" (Imperial Die-Cast), "Galaxy Transformer" (Simba Toys) or "Super Transfo Robot" (MC Toys).

#628 Mc Toy – Several Volkswagen Models (1987 In Addition To 1990)

Volkswagen models are ever valuable collectables, I bring met people who collected exclusively VW Beetle miniatures, as well as around other guy who collected exclusively VW Golf miniatures. To around extent, the Golf volition live the Beetle for newer generations. Since the Golf has been available since 1974, it is already amidst the best selling cars of all times.

Volkswagen 1302 (Ref. 8731) - The classic "Bug" inward nighttime blue. It is 1 of the most sought-after model yesteryear MC Toys, merely non really interesting inward my opinion, since around every die-cast manufacturer had this model inward their catalogues.

Volkswagen Baja Beetle (VW) (Reference Unknown) - One of the best models yesteryear MC Toys inward my opinion. Those wheels were rarely used yesteryear the brand, as well as it has a really overnice suspension, it is a lot of fun to play amongst it over rugged surfaces. The automobile has a fake as well as chromed motor behind amongst a really long exhaust pipe, which is sometimes broken, since it is made of plastic. The automobile was origianlly released inward yellowish amongst tampographies inward cherry as well as black, merely the automobile was likewise availabe inward other colours (not certain hither if other versions were released every bit MC Toy or Maisto).

VW Caravelle or VW NR1060 (Ref. 9007) - One of the most used casts yesteryear MC Toy as well as afterwards yesteryear Maisto. This van was redecorated as well as released inward many colours, as well as this makes the model 1 of the less interesting ones inward the whole range. In this instance it´s painted cherry as well as decorated amongst Fire Brigade tampographies.

The exclusively Volkswagen missing inward this entry is the Golf GTI from 1984 (Ref. 8446), merely I don´t bring it hither correct now. The most mutual ornament is dark amongst white or golden tampographies. The kind was reused yesteryear Sohbi, as well as you lot tin construct yourself an idea, how would this model inward dark await like: see entry #536.

#669 Mc Toy – Lamborghini Countach Too Ferrari 250 Gto Mini (Around 1990)

MC Toy is a construct that copied together with knocked off (not certain if this verb exists) many famous collections. I lately learnt that MC Toy made the Forest Families, which are a pretty obvious knock-off of Sylvanian Families.

In this case, nosotros are going to speak close MC Toy knockoff of Micro Machines. The mini cars, that became pop past times the latest 80s, in all likelihood came out inward 1990. They are slightly larger than genuine Micro Machines, together with convey a metallic element trunk (not plastic). The auto is non reproduced accurately, only inward the “toon” trend of Micro Machines. However, the metallic element body, together with generally it’s thermopaint resemble the “Mini Color Racers” past times Hot Wheels! (see #281). These are bigger inward scale, together with were released inward 1990.

By that same year, MC Toy had a serial of 1:64 models also amongst thermal paint, together with thence they speedily adapted the sentiment for their “Micros” (see for example: #582).

#713 Mc Toy – Bmw M1 As Well As 750Il (1984 As Well As 1987)

These 2 MC Toys models are really impressive.

On i side at that topographic point is the M1, which (I mean value I bring mentioned it before) it is i of my favorite sports cars ever. It is likewise i of the root MC Toys I e'er bought. Maybe I bring dreamt this, simply I cry upwards that it came amongst stickers… that I locomote removed. Strange, no other MC Toys model came amongst stickers. I similar the sport lines tampographed on the car, simply I mean value about other coloring would bring jibe better.

The minute model is a 750iL, a somewhat rare pick inwards 1:64 scale. I don’t know of whatever other manufacturer who released this model inwards this scale. The coloring pick is great, it fits perfectly to a high-end sedan similar this one.

#773 Mc Toy – Chevrolet Corvette Together With Pontiac Firebird (1984)

 

These ii are bully American sportcars from the outset of the 80s. The Pontiac Firebird (3rd Generation) was released inward 1982 in addition to the Chevrolet Corvette inward 1983 afterward three previous generations. So, both are good established in addition to honey models from ii bully American carmakers. The were besides sort of competitors to each other, in addition to then I guess they represent perfectly for a weblog entry.

MC Toy made both inward three inches size. The Corvette is the convertible version, which is quite nice, in addition to good-looking, merely that windshield is quite fragile. Careful amongst it. The Pontiac came inward dark amongst a “firebird” inward golden on the bonnet.

The downside on this miniatures is that nosotros convey seen them hundreds of times. Many manufacturers made the same models inward the same scale amongst approximately fortune. The models past times MC Toy are over the average, I would say, although the tampographies could live on improve or the interruption a fight harder (this is for all MC Toys).

FACTS AND FIGURES:

• Name: Chevrolet Corevtte in addition to Pontiac Firebird (Ref. 8443 for Pontiac, unknown reference for Chevrolet)
• Scale: 1:64 (approx.)

#582 Mc Toy – Several Ford Models (1984)

MC Toy reproduced a lot of unlike models past times Ford. Here are the iv oldest as well as virtually interesting ones:

 

 

Ford Escort 1,6i (Ref. 8449) - I bring the impression that this model is amidst the rarest MC Toys made. I haven´t seen it real often, merely it is a overnice reproduction. With as well as thence many versions of the Escort, both inwards Europe as well as the US, I am non certain which auto does it represent, I intend it is the European version.

Ford Sierra XR4Ti (Ref. 8441) - One of the features that MC Toy adopted real presently was the color alter amongst temperature. Many models from the mutual serial were repainted as well as redecorated amongst this type of paint. The get-go version of the Ford Sierra past times MC Toy was red, as well as the temperatur-changing version is either pinkish or white. Pink inwards normal temperature, white later coming out of the fridge.

Ford Granada 2.8 GL Mk II (Ref. 8451) - This auto was already a flake one-time when it was reproduced, as well as represents the Mark II European version. The MC Toy model is real good done, as well as the color bluish suits it real nicely, I don´t similar the dark decoration, it would bring been meliorate without it.
