I think i shouldn't explain what an E63 is, it's a Legendary 4-door burnout rocket made by the mad scientist at AMG. But i also kinda surprised that nobody made an E63 in 1:64 from, maybe because it looks... Dignified. It doesn't has that mad stance of Lamborghini, or the quirkiness of Porsche. But that's sums up what the RMZ city makes. They has this, F10 M5, Panamera Turbo S, Honda Insight, Toyota Prius, Land Rover Defender, VW Touareg, Mini Countryman S, Audi A5, and many more. But the cloest thing they had to a supercar was an R8 V10. So if you're looking a 1/64 pedestrian cars, go get RMZ city.

*Or as Mr Regular says, they made nothing that the kids like.

But how's the actual casting quality? Can they compete with the top of the line madness of Tomica or Majorette? Let's see..

Accuracy: 9/10

RMZ City is made in china like every other diecast. But it's suprisingly detailed. The grills is a separate part from the casting, all the glass in their car is made from plastic, the rims looks similar the real AMG rims, interior is well-made, there's proper badge (E63, AMG, and V8 Biturbo on it's side) , and it has rubber tires. The only why i give it 9/10 is the lack of hood ornament, and while the front lights were made from plastic, the rear glass is just a big red paint. But for a first try, it's amazing.

Fit and Finish: 6/10

It's good. But it's just acceptable, since it feels really light, about 50% lighter than a hotwheels, and the cast metal feels extremely thin. And the paint is not as thick as some of the thick examples from hotwheels and tomica. But It's pretty okay-ish. And you can bring it with you to a heavy rain and clean it later on, without any damage. Good mark for RMZ.

Features 1/10

To score lower the car shouldn't be able to move. It has no features whatsoever. Nada. No Suspension, doors, or turning weels. Bad mark for RMZ there.

Value: 9/10

How much you think this cast go? Nope, you're wrong. Even with expensive import tax, this cast only cost me 1.25 bucks. A Hotwheel in Indonesia cost 2 bucks. So it's cheaper, yet more detailed and more realistic. That's pretty awesome. If it has a single feature, i'll give it 10.

Rarity: 4/10

Since it's relatively new, RMZ city is still a bit hard to come by, but i'm sure it'll be commonplace soon. And that's good news, so you can play it anyway you like.

Total Score: 39/50

Should i buy it?

Hell Yes you should. It's cheap, pretty detailed, and nicely made. There's no reason to say no, except if you have a better E63. If you don't want a Black E63, they also has a Blue, Red, and White E63 on sale.
