This is sick. Crazy. Unbelievable. Astonishing. Enormous. Where to start ? I’m so excited to write about it!

Finally, the Fall Guy Truck arrives with Greenlight Hollywood Series 26
In typical Greenlight Hollywood series fashion, some of the vehicles in this series are well known and some are obscure. At any rate, it is pretty cool that Greenlight does not just stick to the same TV/Movie cars that have already been done by other companies (e.g. Batmobiles). In the past, they have done vehicles […]

The other 1/64 Unimog – the Schuco 604 Series
For all the praise Mattel rightfully received for the brilliant Hot Wheels Unimog 1300 castings they released in 2018, it may have been easy to miss the other Unimog that appeared around the same time: Schuco’s amazing 604 Series. Trying not to use too much hyperbole is a skill in writing articles, and I think […]
