Ambassador’s Report June 26th, 2015
By: Larry Scaduto
INTRODUCTION
I’ve dedicated this report to our friend Michael Heralda…
Michael Heralda
As some of us know, Michael Heralda is retiring from Mattel after 28 years of loyal service on June 30th. I’ve been staying up late to get this report done before he leaves the design studio for the last time. He has been designing cars for both Matchbox and Hot Wheels (I’m shocked I even put the blue brand in a report) OK, just this one time…… He has reached a milestone few toy designers will ever reach in a lifetime of work (5000 Models) that is absolutely astonishing especially in an environment where people don’t keep jobs this long because of a constantly changing and demanding market. He has been an avid supporter of the Ambassador’s Program and has been wonderful to work with over the last several months. He will be sorely missed. But it’s also time to congratulate him on his retirement. Also don’t bother blowing up the picture to try and see what models are on the shelf behind him. I already did it and there were no PrePro’s or unreleased models. Congrats Michael!!!!! See you in Albuquerque as a civilian!!!
All the Best, Larry Scaduto (Matchbox Ambassador #10)
Here are more letters from other friends and colleagues……..
I have had the privilege of working with Michael Heralda for almost a year at Mattel in the Matchbox group. Michael has a wealth of knowledge for the Matchbox brand, and is a true advocate for the collector community. He strives to push the envelope with what can be achieved from decorations and liveries to packaging and even new business opportunities. With over 5000 deco variants under his belt, it is safe to say that he has single handedly had the most influence visually, to the Matchbox brand since it’s inception. The collectors in the know, are aware of Heralda’s affinity for symbolism, codes, and messages which have been incorporated into his graphics over the last three decades. Vehicles tell stories, and Michael’s graphic adaptation could take those stories and expand upon them.
On behalf of the Matchbox team, and Mattel as a whole, we thank you for your incredible contribution. We all wish Michael the best as he transcends into the next chapter of his life.
Thank you,
Gerry Cody

Michael came to Mattel through an acquisition; he had been doing graphics for Whamo/Morey boogie, and did amazingly cool graphics. We hadn’t really had an internal artist with his talents before he came along. So when an opportunity to pull him into our vehicle world showed up, very quickly we did so! He was doing artwork for collector pieces like our Legends line, and then found the opportunity to do artwork for our cars…his art hitting the shelves meant a great deal to all, since he put so much of himself into it. I have to also say that he put some of his co-workers into it as well. When we do artwork for the cars, we use a variety of corporate logos from companies that are anxious to have their marks on our vehicles, but there are times where we need something “generic” to put on the vehicles…at times like this, Michael used his teammate’s names to supplement the corporate logos. I was honored when he chose to use my name on his first “teammate” car, it was a White Rally car with Swisher Motors on it…since then he has put his special touch on 5000 unique vehicles…and he has been taking special care to incorporate his teammates, and hidden messages throughout this entire time. His codes, and connection to the collectors has made Michael one of our greatest brand ambassadors, we will truly miss him here at Mattel, but his legacy will live on, in your collections, as well as the precedent he set up for caring about the people that buy our product, and connecting with them through the artwork on our vehicles.
Michael the Renaissance Man-
Michael is a fantastic artist, we have been blessed to have him creating meaningful art for our vehicles for the past three decades…but that is just one facet of his creativity, he is also a very talented story teller through his music, he plays historic instruments from his ancestors heritage, he travels the southwest entertaining and educating people about his culture through his amazing music. His music is peaceful and calming, just as he is. But I will tell you that he Shocked us all, when he was asked to participate in our internal band “The Toys” a few years back, the band knew there were many musicians amongst the staff, and asked each them to come and practice one song for the upcoming party that would have “guest performers” it was expected that Michael would do something soft and soothing….it was far from it! We knew Michael could play guitar, but what we didn’t know was that he was a super accomplished rock guitarist…his rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Rock n Roll by was beyond flawless…it was inspiring! He rocked the house!!! His calm soothing side was definitely balanced with the heart of a HARD ROCKER!!!
Just when you think you know all there is to know about Michael, a whole new side is revealed, I will miss Michael and his influence around the office, and on our brand, I just hope that he has left a lasting impression on those that are still here, such that they can carry the torch, and continue to build on his legacy.
Thanks,
Gary Swisher (SVP Global Brands Creative)
Michael is been a special friend of mine and to the collecting world. Michael was the first Mattel employee I met almost 12 years ago. By chance, he inquired about the little get together I created to get a few collecting friends together in one place. Michael took an immediate interest and even joined us here in Albuquerque. His determination to engage younger collectors with a coloring contest was the predecessor to the current play area we have today. Michael is a true artist and even better, a true friend. His work is easily identified with his distinct graphics or the challenging codes he has placed on numerous models. 5,000 models later, Michael still finds new ways to communicate with collectors through his designs. Michael inspired the Landy Journey which to date has logged hundreds of thousands of miles visiting 6 of the seven continents creating a collector’s album of the world. I always have appreciated Michael and all he represents. Mattel is fortunate to have had his skills working on their Matchbox and Hot Wheel lines through the years. Michael will always be part of the collecting community and a friend.

It’s hard to believe that Michael Herald’s tenure at Mattel will soon be coming to an end.
Imagine having a job where you have to create hundreds of decorations for toy vehicles each year and that over time can add up to thousands and thousands of original works of art. This has been a major milestone that Michael has achieved at Mattel.
I worked very closely with Mike when I worked in Hot Wheels and even closer when we both joined the Matchbox brand in 2005.
My fondest memory of Mike was when we first traveled to Asia to our plant in Thailand. We both witnessed what it really takes to make a toy and how a huge part of this is decoration.
I shall be forever amazed at Mike’s creativity and resourcefulness at meeting the demand for cool graphics that have a universal appeal for just about everyone. It takes many hours and much patience to make this happen and Mike has been blessed with special skills that make this magic happen.
Mike certainly rivals that gentleman in the TV commercials that proclaims to be the most interesting man in the world. Mike Heralda certainly fits this description as well.
In addition to being a great graphic designer Mike also was a rocker playing with the Mattel band called the “Toys” and he is also a wonderful story teller with his dazzling “Aztec
Stories” performances.
Mike is a great artist and a terrific friend. He can now look forward to new adventures and new stories as he prepares for a new life journey.
For this I wish Mike and his family the very best. It’s been lots of fun.
Cheers Mike.
Regards,
Dave Weise

A message from Matchbox’s Gerry Cody…..
Hey Larry,
I wanted to let you know that we are a few weeks away from kicking off our design lists for vehicles that we (as the design team) would like to have in our diecast line. We usually commit to around 25 or so new tools. Approximately half are licensed and half are what we internally call MBX “originals.” I thought this could be a fun opportunity to engage you and the collector community in coming up with the Collector’s Picks if you will. For 2017 we are drawn to the idea of “Exploration” and “Explore your World” as an overarching brand attribute (or theme). I was wondering if this was something that you and the collector community might be interested in participating with. I know that you usually include models that you’d like to see at the end of the newsletters, but maybe you might want to put all of them on to one master list and then rank them in priority? Again, let me know if this is something that interests you, and how we might be able to put something like this together.
Thanks,
G.
Okay, I have given this idea a lot of thought and I’ve decided to run with this challenge from Gerry. The chance for us collectors to pick models for the 2017 line is an outstanding idea and an opportunity that has never been offered before!!!! In my reports I’ve listed a wide variety of vehicles for consideration. I’ve compiled the list of models (below) along with what report they were in just in case you wish to look at the pictures before deciding. Here is your chance to make a real difference!!!! Now rather than ranking the models according to your favorite, I have decided that anyone who wishes to participate look over the candidates and pick up to 20 models you would love to see made and e-mail them to me at matchboxamb10@outlook.com I will keep track of everyone’s picks, total them up and release the results in my final report after the Gathering. I will place a cutoff date of July 12th at midnight for your lists. So…… now it is up to the collector’s community to get to work. I’m assuming that there are no guarantees that any of our picks will make it to production, but in the same breath, there’s no reason to believe they won’t someday. I look forward to receiving your lists. Thank you for participating. Larry

PREPRODUCTIONS FROM MY COLLECTION
MB31 Caravan
In this week’s PrePro section I break out the Shiny Disco Ball once again. All models featured here are gold chrome plated. First up is the MB31 Caravan in a bright gold with amber windows and a light yellow interior. Also featured is an unpainted Lesney England metal base.
Here I have a MB22 Lamborghini Diablo with a black interior, clear windows and a bright yellow 1991 Thailand base.
Next in line is really nice MB12 Mercedes-Benz 500SL with a reddish-brown interior, clear windshield and a silver-gray plastic 1990 Thailand base.
Now I’m picturing the gold Alfa Romeo SZ with a beige interior, smoke tinted windows and a 1991 black plastic China base.
I’ve already pictured my two silver plated MB54 Chevrolet Lumina’s and now it’s the gold chrome version this time around. This model features a red interior, black plastic Goodyear racing tires and a 1990 black plastic Thailand base.
Next up is the MB20 Police Patrol with the usual frosted windows and orange spinning dome. This PrePro has a 1976 unpainted Lesney England Rolamatics base.
And lastly, I’m showing a World Class Porsche 944 Turbo (which I’ve pictures some issues back) Since I’m going with the gold chrome issues, I thought I would include it again.
MB60 Ford Transit
Last one…… This is the MB60 Ford Transit in rose pink chrome with grey interior and clear windows. A 1986 dark grey plastic China base finishes off this PrePro.

MISCELLANEOUS
Ambassador’s Note: The following story was submitted to me by fellow collector and report contributor Mark Amies. He is comparing early Superfast castings to their newer counterparts. It is interesting to see the differences. See pictures below and check out his modification of the Mustang Police Car. Just a little color and a good model becomes a better one. Thank you once again Mark for adding a nice touch to my bi-monthly reports.
I have attached images I took of Matchbox castings new and old. This was prompted by the arrival of the GT40 in the post. I wanted to make a comparison of the early Superfast models against the new versions. I think the best is the Miura, mainly because I was able to get hold of the gold version (meant buying a 6-pack box!). The 2008 version is stunning, and is one of my favorite Matchbox models. It sits so well on its wheels and the tampo decoration is wonderful.
The new models are a clear endorsement of what the guys on the Matchbox team can do. The Lotus Europa is a superb model, I love the way the silver plastic part allows the front and rear fenders to be realized, as well as the filler caps.
Last but not least, the GT40. What can I say? Its full marks to the MBX team with this current issue. I like the tip of the hat on the choice of colour. It’s not an obvious choice in terms of the real car, but of course Matchbox did make it in that colour back in the day.
I love the license plate tampo, as this is how road legal GT40 cars had to do it in real life.

Yes, 1970 Nova SS350, right there in the september list! Please make it so. As a clean cut, no frills two door coupe, it's exactly the kind of Muscle/Classic American car Matchbox should be looking into. Plus, the worn out Hot Wheels Nova is the only version of it available right now, this car deserves way more recognition than that…
Wait, someone suggested the Fiat Tipo? Was it me? I don't really remember, might have been. Anyways, if you do a Tipo, you gotta do the best one, the 1995 Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole, in two door guise obviously.
The Aston is beautiful! But it looks too similar to the 2012 release. At least they could have given a different colour like dark metallic red or racing green (both official Aston colours). The Mack fire truck is also brilliant. Glad that my Ford GT90, M3 and Quattroporte made it! Thank you, Larry! Lastly, I shall be sending those 20 cars to you. Expect them soom.
The 2015 Chevy tahoe Should be release this year
The ford gt90 was already made by hot wheels
Where's the Porsche Cayman GT4 in the choices? I want to get that one in MBX.

I think, the Tipo looks better in the original 5-door form.

Why did they shorten the Mack CF? Or why did they show the full long (3D printed) version???
