Do other countries have “Tight As Tuesdays”? Well, they are called something else really, but you get the idea. You know, steak and a beer for 10 bucks at Tuesday lunch. Maybe a disrobement artiste providing entertainment, depending on which part of town you are in? Anyway, Tight-As Tuesdays examines the lower end of the diecast spectrum. If a TLV is 9 or 10, these are a 1 or 2.
Anyway, I picked up these two fellows in one of those el-cheapo stores that sell plastic storage container tubs. What do I need more of those for? Have a guess...
I ha not seen or heard anything about Kai Yang Da Toys before - so I had to get two. They also had a Ferrari, which was too horrible even for me.
As you can see, simplicity is the name of the game. Just grey paint for head and tail light. No other tampos at all, and of course generic wheels. And these things are lighter than light - you can practically blow them across the table.
Kai Yang Da even have their own website http://kydtoys.en.toysgu.com/index.html
But the best part is - they are held together by two screws - no rivets at all. Monster Truck Lambo anyone?
What else do they do?
Good to see that the art of the just-legal Tomica knock-off is not completely lost.
That’s enough - now I need to play with some nicer toys.
