March 3rd Matchbox Ambassador Report: Entire 1-120 Mainline Lineup for 2014…

Nigel Cooper’s Ambassador Report for this week is the one we have all been waiting for.  Matchbox has unveiled the entire 1-120 lineup for 2014.


Read the report, look at the list, and tell us what you think.  What models are you happy to see?  What models are you frustrated were omitted?  We will post our thoughts a little later.

Enjoy…
Ambassador Report 28

INTRODUCTION
You have waited long enough. Today I can reveal the official 1-120 line for the US, thanks to the Matchbox team. Interestingly the ROW line is not yet available, presumably meaning that there will be differences, possibly in terms of model name. I will keep you informed. As explained before, some planned models had to be dropped or moved to next year. This year some military 2 packs will be making their way into Walmart. These contain one Matchbox vehicle paired with a Military Sky Buster plane.  The packs will not have exclusive deco’s but offer a different vehicle combo for those interested.
Your comments on the proposed line for 2014 will be most welcome. I include some responses from a typical collector which are intended to provoke further comment. At first sight, it is clear that there are 25 new models which will be numbered between 95 and 120 but only six of these will be licensed. The oldest castings will be MB222 Highway Maintenance Truck, first shown in the catalogue of 1991 and MB249 Chevy 1500 Pick-up. There is no reference to the Mega School Bus which was shown at The Gathering last July.  One wonders whether this been dropped.  There were not many collectors who found this bus to be appealing, but of course it was designed with children in mind.  I am not sure what a Seed Shaker is but I am sure we will find out in good time. 
Some of the returning models will doubtless be welcomed by many collectors. A typical collector’s response to this announcement might be as follows: 
Aston Martin DBS Volante – good
1968 Ford Mustang GT/CS – good
Porsche Panamera – good
Caterham Superlight R500 – good
Garbage Grinder – debuted in 2012, missing from 2013.  Not that popular.
1971 Pontiac Firebird – good.
Cadillac CTS – good.  It debuted in 2011, and had been missing ever since.
Crop Master – not a very popular model, but it fits into the farming theme
International CXT – okay
1957 GMC Stepside – no doubt a good choice
3-axle Dump Truck – fits in with extended construction theme, but not a popular model.  Also, why no MAN#?  Is this being updated?
Quarry King – popular generic construction so good
Toyota 4Runner – good
Chevy K1500 Pick Up – old casting but welcome to some
Cliff Hanger – Not the most popular
Hummer w/ramp – updated MAN# (I am guessing the rear no longer opens)
Jungle Crawler – a decent generic and likely quite popular
VW Beetle 4×4 – okay choice
Jeep Hurricane – a number of Jeep castings are rotated, it seems it is this one’s chance this year
International Brush Fire Truck – definitely going to be a popular choice
BMW X5 Police – updated casting, and I think a good choice
Armored Recon Vehicle – unusual choice perhaps no-one will care.
So what goes?  Many are going to be logical, but there are going to be a few people upset with some choices….

Out of these, I think the biggest shock is the Dodge A100 Pick-Up and VW Karmann Ghia Type 34.  Both of these were brand new castings in 2013 and both are extremely popular.  The Dodge in particular is probably the most popular new casting of 2013.  The dropping of the Cadillac Ambulance is going to be a disappointment too.  I notice the GMC School Bus is dropped and perhaps the Mega School Bus was intended to replace it, but that is nowhere on the list so we have no school bus at all.  The 2013 Ford Explorer is another unusual deletion.  Only debuting at the end of 2012, it had 2 outings in 2013 in the basic range and I wonder if they are giving it a year off to compensate.  I see no flying vehicles in the range.  Many collectors will see that as a good thing.  A number of older returnees from 2013 have been immediately dropped.  Some will not be noticed but the Dodge Monaco will be missed though, it has been replaced by the 1993 Mustang.  It is disappointing to see no vans in the range.   
All in all, it is not a bad range.  But here are a few unusual statistics….
Cars – 2013 = 20 cars 2014 = 9 cars (fewer than half of 2013)
Construction – 2013 = 10 construction 2014 = 20 construction
Licenses – 2013 = 56 licenses 2014 = 45 licenses (roughly 1/5 less)
No flying, but additional water vehicles
Many collectors look for a good scattering of cars in the range and so perhaps they will be disappointed.  Perhaps the removal of the flight related models is a good idea, when we have Skybusters. The fall in the number of licensed models will distress many collectors of authentic vehicles.  We slipped to under half the range last year, but we drop quite a few more here.  The range now consists of just over a third of licensed castings.
Of course the Matchbox team have to work under considerable restraints, not least in terms of budget and licensing, and you may find much that is pleasing in this year’s range. You may not be impressed by some of the model choices but we have to remind ourselves that at the current retail price these models are, in the main, produced for very young children and their preferences will vary from those of collectors. Your comments and suggestions will be passed on to the Matchbox team.

The five recolours were to have been these five models but as the #97 Land Rover LR4 has been postponed until 2015, another model will be selected from the standard line in due course.  This will also apply to the #70 Evoque.

 Note: Vehicle selections are subject to change at will by the Mattel Matchbox Team.
The Workstar Brush Truck is now being dispatched by Amazon. Mattel has responded to concerns regarding availability as follows:  I am also hearing that our special 6oth Anniversary International Workstar Brush Truck in now available for delivery from Amazon.  We do encourage folks from the UK and other countries across the pond to reach out to US collectors to get them in lieu of shipping issues that are occurring with Amazon. 
       MATCHBOX ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS
  • What is happening with Walmart?  Many stores seem to be discounting all Matchbox items.  Is this Walmart dropping the brand, reducing the amount of stores taking them, or simply getting rid of stock to bring in new Matchbox items? 
Walmart has been restructuring their die cast brands in some stores.
  • What is happening with the number of vans in the range?  A few years ago there was talk of increasing the amount available due to the large area for tampo design on the sides.  Yet recently they appear to have vanished.  Models like the Ford Transit, VW Caddy, Ford Panel Van, 1956 Ford F-100 Panel Truck and 1965 Austin Mini Van.  The only one that appears to be continuing is the Delivery Van. Please can we have more vans? This will depend on the segment themes we have chosen for 2014.  
Since we add new tools each year, some tools will drop out to make way for them. We also have issues with the weight of some of these vehicles. Note however that the 65 Austin Mini Van will reappear in the “City works” 5 pack this year.
  • Talking of Ford Transit, it has been a staple of the range since 1976.  Has any thought been given to including the latest generation full size Transit? Ford will soon introduce the redesigned Ford Transit (full size van) and the Ford Transit connect . 
Hot Wheels showed their custom version of the Transit connect at the SEMA show last year. Matchbox won’t pursue either model at the moment.
  • There was talk in a previous q&a about Swedish cars.  Has any thought been given about retooling the Volvo XC90 into an emergency vehicle?  It would simply be an alteration to the roof to incorporate a light bar, and then you could re-issue it as ambulances, fire vehicles or police vehicles – vehicles that will all easily fit in with the current categories. 
This is a good suggestion. Thanks.
  • Are there any plans to work with Superlift again?  We had the Ford F-350 Superduty and Jeep Wrangler.  Could we see any more collaboration in the future?
It’s possible. 
  • The news that the Range Rover Evoque is hopefully on course for a release next year, will the model still be classified as a 2013 model when it does finally surface, or will it simply be released under its 2015 number?  We would like to know so we can either keep the 2013 list open until it reaches stores or close it after the BMW bike hits stores. 
The Range Rover Evoque will carry over into 2015 but as a 2014 model due the very late introduction.
  • Have you ever seen the TV series “Last Man Standing”?  It is a Tim Allen comedy on ABC Friday nights.  Quite often you see various Matchbox models laying around on the series.  He drives an early 1950s pick up.  I think it would be great if you could make a version of the GMC Pick up similar to his green one. 
We have had a similar request regarding a Canadian TV series with the same model. We probably would not tie into a direct replica of either one as there could be licensing issues.
  • Do you know how many models in the 5-packs are exclusive?  As pictures come out, it appears that some packs have barely anything exclusive in them. 
For this year 36 models will be exclusive. 24 will be from mainline.
  • Will the Garbage Grinder be seen again? I loved that mould and it would be great in a National Parks livery. l hope we see it again. 
Yes the Garbage Grinder will appear again this year in mainline.
  • Thank you for doing lime green fire apparatus. While not as popular as that other color in the States it is still used by many departments. Do you have further plans to use this colour on emergency vehicles? 
This has not been determined yet but we are glad to hear that you liked this color choice.
  • British and EU emergency vehicles are using a fluorescent lime and red (fire) blue (police) and green (ambulance) checkerboard. Could the Matchbox designers ensure that the colour match is more accurate as these colours have changed? 
We will do our best to create authentic colors when we can.  This does requires research that we find on the net and certain colors must be approved by our licensors when using licensed vehicles.
12. We would love some campus police cars. It’s Xavier from Barcelona, Spain (the MATCHBOX administrator of the Spanish uno64 forum). I still intend to send you questions from the Spanish collectors… it has been a hell of a time at work with many threatening deadlines, and I’ve been unable to sit down calmly to try to do a proper translation of the collectors’ questions, worries and frustration. And that’s one of the things that makes the task a bit more complicated: almost all the comments I’m collecting are full of bitterness, frustration and desperation as it is IMPOSSIBLE to get *fresh* Matchbox product in Spain. I’ll try to send you the input this week, and filter a bit the bitterness (and some proper language) from some of them. But I’m contacting you because of a finding I made today which only confirms the frustration of us Spanish collectors w.r.t. Mattel and the way they handle (destroy, swipe) the Matchbox brand in Spain. 
We welcome any questions that you may have from your home country of Spain. 
NEW RELEASES
There are six new images available to show this week. First is a new tool for 2014 and called Mini Dozer. It will be the smallest dozer produced under the Mattel banner.  It does have a shovel that can be raised and yes it only has one arm.

The Deep Diver which will be used in both the singles mainline and in a 5 pack for this year.
The next three models will appear in the 1-120 line.

Lastly a new decoration for the Freeway Flyer (flying car) in the Sky Busters range has been revealed.

A Little More History
MB 55 Ford Cortina Mk IV
The first Matchbox Ford Cortina, a Mark II, was issued in the regular wheel series as MB254 in 1968 and continued into the Superfast era. Though deleted from the range in 1972, it was revived in 1986 in Bulgaria in a range of colours. The Mark IV Cortina was first shown as a new model in the 1979/80 pocket catalogue. Both models were fitted with opening doors.
Pre-production models of the Mark IV Cortina come in a range of colours, for a different colour may be in use in the paint shop at any one time and in the early stages colour was not important. These colour pre-production models were used to check for minor errors in production. As the development of the model proceeds the castings may reveal slight alterations. The very first casting, which was possibly assembled in the toolroom, used the first shots from the moulds and was painted light blue with a beige interior and amber windows. The unpainted base did not have an MB number, year of manufacture or the “dots” on either side of the base. At this stage the doors were loose.
The next stage, which led to the first colour trial run, still did not show a model number. The reason for this was simple. If a production problem occurred there could be a considerable delay before a model went into production and there might be a need for a replacement in the range. Sometimes, a problem developed very late in the production process and there are examples of pre-production models with the wrong base number for example the 57 Carmichael with 45 base, 54 Mobile Home with 52 on base, 38 Camper Van with 35 and 17 London Bus with 50.
One colour trial model was painted red with a yellow interior and amber windows and a black base. Another example, as shown, was painted white with a black, red or yellow interior and an unpainted base. By now the base number had been added to the base casting. When models with opening parts were manufactured, these parts had to be given a strength test. Close examination of the white model shown shows the driver’s door missing. It had been pulled off in the strength test and was despatched to the waste bin for recycling. Some colour trial Cortinas were painted in the military green colour used on a number of range models at the time. Once the body colour had been agreed, in this case metallic lime green, discussion followed regarding the interior colour. 
Following the colour trial models a final pre-production run of approximately 5000 models were produced which had to be of a quality good enough to be put on sale. Usually these are then destroyed and sometimes a very small number are released. (The yellow MB 8 Rover was an example of this). In this case the pre-production models were released for sale but the only difference between these and the normal issue models is that the early models had no patent number. 
All subsequent variations, with the exception of the Chinese model, featured a patent number. The first colour change came with a bright metallic lime green colour which appears to be limited to the USA releases. The first worldwide colour change featured a metallic red body with a creamy yellow interior. A metallic brown version followed with a creamy yellow interior which soon gave way to a white interior. 
Though the model was replaced as a single in 1983, it continued as a component of the Twin Pack range with a plain red body with the doors fixed shut. At this time Matchbox were selling their “Streak Racing” sets where the models in the pack featured luminous windows which glowed in the dark. Perhaps the most interesting of the red Cortinas were those found with light brown interiors and those with black bases.
The final Cortina was only available in mainland China. Apprentices for the Shanghai factory learnt their trade on three models, one of which was a red Mark IV with tan and white flame tampo on the bonnet and roof. The base was painted metallic silver and was not cast with a patent number. The model was sold in a special blister pack.

  1. Some thoughts on the lineup for 2014:
    Did anybody else notice that #54 is the Toyota FJ Cruiser? I don’t remember Matchbox ever doing the FJ Cruiser. Is this simply a different name for the 1968 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser?
    http://matchbox.wikia.com/wiki/1968-Toyota_Land_Cruiser_(FJ40)
    Because the Toyota FJ Cruiser, as far as I know, is only available through Majorette (which I can’t find in the US).
    http://swiftysgarage.net/topic/6784748/1/

    The three-axle dump truck is nice to have back in the lineup. It’s also nice to see it in green, the current color of the Terex Titan, the real dump truck most similar to this casting.

    Other castings I’m excited to see again: ’43 Jeep Willys, Sahara Survivor, Seagrave Fire Truck, ’57 GMC Stepside, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota FJ Cruiser(?), Jungle Crawler, Rock Shocker, Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, Cliff Hanger, Crop Master, Land Rover Defender 110, Ground Grinder (motor grader), Scraper, Terrain Trouncer (rally car), 6×6 ATV, and Pierce Dash Fire Engine.

    Castings that I’m sad to see aren’t there: Dodge A100, Austin Mini Cooper, ’57 Chevy Bel Air Convertible, 2013 Ford Explorer (I never did find the police livery), Chevy Van, Skidster, VW 181 (Thing).

    Castings that I’m hoping to find for the first time: Toyota Tacoma Lifeguard, ’63 Mack Model B, Sea Spy, Two Story Bus, ’92 Ford Mustang Police, and the Travel/Trail Tracker. Probably some more, but we’ll see what they look like. The mini dozer looks like it will be fun, although I don’t think it can hold a candle to the Skidster. Tiny rollers just don’t compare to wheels.

    The recolor on the Firebird looks nice. I’ll probably be looking for that one.

    I don’t like the orange-windowed Deep Diver as much as the original yellow body/blue window version. I still think that a propeller that prominent ought to be able to rotate.

  2. Total crap this last lot apart from teh Camaro, the list is rubbish, more generic and plastic, less real stuff, models pushed from one year to another and then a third, do you lot actually know what your doing, after nearly 30 years, my interest in Matchbox has nearly gone, AND IT IS ALL MATTELS FAULT.

  3. Hi Nigel. Happy to see a new Monday Matchbox ambassador report.

    So anyway, thank you Nigel for showing images of the latest releases for the year. Glad to see intresting stuff everytime though.

    WOW, there are intresting stuff here on this ambassador report. I guess this ambassador report is not so bad after all.

    To describe that green Firebird, that's going to be my biggist Matchbox searching hunt yet. The deco on it is totally awesome, and it's first time to have the 5 spokes eh? Those 5 spokes fit well on the Firebird, and I'm hoping that I can really fiind this one.

    The International CXT reminds me of that mystery 60th anniversary Brush fire truck, and it's deco looks cool too in a construction livery.

    HEY WAIT A MINUTE! Is that the construction livery that the Crop Master had from last year and some other construction vehicles had too? Ha, this is part of that INC. construction family then. I've been looking forward for CXT to have the INC. construction livery though. I'm serious. Trust me.

    Ho, the Freeway Flyer in the Skybusters line. Are those new types of Matchbox Skybuster wheels? What a shame! Not a fan, but this reminds me of hearing complains and ideas to Mercedes Benz to design a Mercedes Benz SLS AMG flying car.

    And speaking of ideas, why can't Matchbox make a Mercedes Benz SLS AMG anyway? That's an idea from me, and Matchbox should learn a little bit more from the blue brother, Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels knows how to design sporty, sleek designed models.

    Hmm. So now the 2014 list. I'm praying to god that if I can trust Matchbox about the Toyota FJ cruiser, delayed Range Rover Evoque, and other new models I haven't heard that's being released for 2014. I hope theres no more discussions and complains for this orange company.

    So that is all, thank you again Nigel for this great report, and thanks for the full 2014 list and images.

    Have a great time!

  4. The Mini Dozer isn't really a dozer, it's a tracked skidsteer with a bucket. Let's just hope it's not replacing the perfect Skidster.

    The Deep Diver's new deco isn;t half bad. I still like the new sub casting better than the old one.

    The CXT doesn't look bad. I'm sure it will be a favorite of the fans of the “Inc Construction” paint scheme.

    The new construction wheels I'm a big fan of, and they really improve the look of this old dump truck.

    Is the F-350 stake bed going to be a modern F-Series, or a retool of the older one that has been used before as a boat hauler and dump truck

    Reply

  5. Why can't Matchbox make a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG? Because currently Mattel and Mercedes-Benz can't see eye to eye on the licensing. Either Mattel would have to include a silver holographic sticker on every package that contains a Mercedes-Benz model, or Mercedes-Benz would have to remove that requirement for their licensees. I hope one of them gives in, though, because I want the Unimogs to come back to Matchbox.

    Reply

  6. Hmm. Mavanerick dude, Matchbox has already done some Marcedes models such as the CLS500 and Mercedes SLR McLaren. But now I can't see the CLS500 and the SLR McLaren in the mainlines since the past few years. So, I'm actually meaning a replacement for the two.

    Reply

  7. I agree. 25 'new' models and barely a fraction are licensed desirable vehicles… The conversion of the Matchbox brand to the near equivalent of a Playschool competitor is a sad current reality. Hopefully one that will resolve itself and see the death of these worthless models in the near future. If not I suppose all my money can go to Greenlight, Tomica, and brands not owned by Mattel.

    Reply

  11. Why can't they be honest and admit the brand is being deliberately starved, and is only been kept around to ensure shelf space is taken away from competitors?

  12. Would there be any licensing issues with John Deere if Matchbox made the Acre Maker with a green cab, green body, and yellow wheels. I'd like to see a version like that.

  13. The report states that there is “no school bus at all,” but I wonder if the “Field Tripper” is the production name for the “Mega School Bus.” From what I remember, Mega School Bus was just a placeholder name.

  17. Mavanerick, again dude, I saw this post already. All the posts from Mercedes Benz. I once asked a question to Matchbox on one ambassador report on why they stopped the CLS550 or SLR McLaren and some others that got out of range. Haven't you seen that question posted on one of the previous maybe… you know what, just check all of them. Find the question on one of the ambassador reports “Why have you stopped one of my favorite models (They just said favorite, I don't know why. But they're not my faves, they're just some castings I like), the Mercedes CLS500, SLR McLaren, Range Rover sport, and some other braitan orr german castings that were cool?”

    Please find that question on one of the ambassador reports. Do you want me to be specific? Well then, I'll explain it a little more.

    You see, the CLS500, SLR McLaren, and so on the other britain\german european models, don't show up anymore. So I'm really looking forward to a replacement on ll of those so that Matchbox can release beautiful, luxury, sporty, stylish, models that Matchbox can ever make. Besides though, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Volkswagen (VW), Mini, Jaguar, Land Rover\Range Rover, and more britain\german makes and models have the best styling. They also have as much as high expensive prices as italians, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari e.g. or others, And if you collect Hot Wheels Ferrari 458 Italias, those kinds of stuff, Matchbox should learn about a little sporty cars. Hot Wheels does sporty. So now Matcbox has to do civilian, city cars, family cars, those? But if you do like sporting (Cause' I do), then make your mind up because that's whats Matchbox' blue brother is all about. Get it, Mavanerick dude? Or what?

  18. I get that they're not making the cars that make up your list. I'm sorry that they're not doing what you want. I don't know why they aren't doing all of the cars on your list; I only know that there's currently a licensing issue with Mercedes-Benz specifically. That's all I was trying to point out, and I'm sorry that I offended you in doing so. I don't really collect sports cars or super cars; I tend to stick to muscle cars and off-road vehicles.
