2025 Matchbox Moving Parts #toycars #matchbox #toys #diecast

Just posted a new short about some new Matchbox cars. 

New Pages

I've added two new launch pages.  A 2012 Matchbox 5-Pack called Battle Mission and the previously posted Hot Wheels 2015 Easter Cars. And now... here's a Jeep.

New 2014 Matchbox

I just found the new Matchbox tank.  The Blockade Buster.  A double barreled brute for a buck! Enjoy!
Oh btw, did you notice I totally screwed up the the names on the cars on the last post? D'oh!

New Matchbox Buick

Have you seen this new Matchbox Buick Police Car yet?  I thought it was well done and looks good next to one of my favorite Johnny Lightnings models.  I'll add them both to the Museum soon.
Seeya!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! And I wanted to say "Thanks" for visiting the Museum site.  And in case you are curious, this truck has this week's stats on visits to the museum. This will give you an idea how many visits the site gets on a typical week. More and more people keep showing up and I'm honored that you enjoy it. Take care.

Texaco

One of the new pics I added this week is this very nice Matchbox 1939 Chevy Panel Van from 2001.    It reminds me of a college summer when I worked at a Texaco truck stop.  I never got to drive one of those... or anything for that matter.  

I got to clean bathrooms and showers on a regular basis though. Yep showers.  Every time a trucker rented a shower you had to go in and clean it up for the next guy.  Much summer fun was had chasing random body hairs down the walls to the drain with a carefully aimed shower head so you wouldn't have to get near it.  It was much like today's video games. Well anyhow, enjoy the pictures.

Holy Matchbox, Batman

I must be slipping.  I had no idea that Matchbox was producing a Batmobile this year until I found it at Walmart last week.  Sneaky Ol' Batman, but I love finding Batmobiles.  Enjoy.

Update: Matchbox Dune Buggy

Set up a new section for the Matchbox Dune Buggies that first ran in 1999. 

You can check it out here. There are a couple of pics that have alternate views if you hover over them.  Enjoy!

Update: Chevy K-1500 4x4

Howdy.  Just added a section for the Matchbox Chevy K-1500 4x4.  Does anybody know what year this model represents? Let me know. In the meantime, enjoy!

The Buffalo MPCV

I was at Walmart yesterday and I found this model by Matchbox. The Buffalo MPCV. This is an awesome model of a cool military vehicle with lots of details and I'm glad Matchbox chose to produce this so it can live in my little 1/64 world. I also found a Maisto Chevy Volt. It was a good night. Enjoy.

Update: The Ford Focus

I didn't plan this, but as I was updating the Ford Miscellaneous section I realized that I had a diverse collection of Ford Focuses. So they graduated to their own section. I do believe this is the only place you can see this many 1/64 scale focuses on the internet on one page. Here's the link. And speaking of the Ford Focus, does anyone out there have one? Is it nice? As my wife's Escort wagon gets older I may have to consider buying one. Well anyhow, enjoy the reference material.

Now on Facebook!

Hey there folks! Now you can have the Super Happy Funtime Online Museum at your fingertips with your favorite social media website! We are now on Facebook. There will be more updates, pics and news about the site and it's all delivered to your news feed. There is a facebook box on the right menu of this site for your convenience. Seeya there!
In the meantime, enjoy this pic of some Shelby's sitting on one of my tables. :)

Update: Scania

Hi.
I haven't updated that much lately, but I added a Scania category and this truck from Matchbox. Does anybody know what year this paint variation was issued?

Cadillac Seville in Small Scale

I was gifted the Tomica last week from a friend and it made me wonder how many Seville's I had in Small Scale. Not too many it turns out. The first two are the Second Generation that had that interesting trunk design and the Tootsietoy is a fourth generation Seville STS. Maisto apparently made a fifth generation one but had to change it into a generic design because of copyright issues. Here's the wikipedia article if you want to read more. I'll post the single shots in the Cadillac section in the next couple of days.

Update: Chevy Blazer 4x4

Just added this pic of the new Matchbox Lesney Edition Chevy Blazer 4x4. The GMC pickup also came out with this release. Both are really sweet. Applause for the toy makers.
As with most of my updates, a bunch of odds and ends were added before I decide what group needs to be photographed next. (Like some Corvettes and a new Hyper Mite pic.) Does anyone have any requests? LMK.

Update: Ford GTs

Lots of misc. pics. For instance, 5 new Pixar "Cars", a couple of HW Super Vans and some Ford GTs. Since so many toy manufacturers have made these cars and that various cars have had the GT name, I decided to give them their own page. Please let me know if you find any dead links. In fact, if you find a dead link anywhere in the site, please let me know.
Seeya!

Update: Cougars

Howdy Folks.
I added 6 new Cougars this week as well as the usual misc. additions. For example, I also added a Hot Wheels Tucker to the Tucker page. You can see some of the cars touring around Spiralton in this pic. Enjoy!

Update: Screaming for Ice Cream

Got a Reese's Cup with Butterscotch Sundae today. So I had to post an ice cream truck up on the site. The HW Greased Gremlin got it's own page and a new pic, the HW '65 GTO got two new pics added and a there was a couple of single additions to the site. Enjoy!

Matchbox M1A1 Abrams

Have you seen the new Matchbox M1A1 Abrams Tank that they released in the Real Working Rigs line? Its bigger and I think better than the older mainline version. It was added to the Military section of the website, along with a couple of other castings.

Update: Quick Sander and MBX Mover

Added new pages for the the Matchbox Quick Sander and the MBX Mover models. Also, I tweaked the 40s Fords page.
