CVS Cruiser model (1 Viewer)

[Gundy]

Went to CVS today to fill some prescriptions. I always scan the toy section just in
case a toy Cruiser pops up. I got a Johnny Lighting model that way years ago.
Well....Hot Wheels came through today.
2010 model FJ40 modified for off road!
"Modified with spare tire on rear,brush guard and roll cage, this roofless rider was
made for the back trails and desert racing."
Yellow with black trim. Half doors in black with racing # 506 on the doors. Knobby tires and lifted
with lights on the front of the roll cage.
Hot Wheels 2010 Model # 41
They only had two but I bought 'em both. One for the new kid in the family and one for my collection.
Too cool.

I suggest if interested in such things you cruise into a CVS soon. This type of thing gets gone fast.

They have it in blue also. I have several.

Matchbox has several also. yellow, orange, zebra strip,baby blue, red,dark blue, and a black one that says anaconda tours. Got at least one of each. I look everytime I go to the store!

And before anyone gets started yes I'll take some pics.

I also have a collection of FJ40 toys. Including 3 1/10 RC models and two custom made itty bitty RCs.
Die casts etc as well.

Well Gundy....went to Walmart and they had my fj40...that's right a 1968 blue landcruiser....got one for me and one for Henley

 

[CruisinTiger]

You say that, but I guarantee that if they made a 60, I'd buy the store out of tthem

 

[scott johnson]

I have been buying them up everytime I see them. They say 68 but the turn signals and some other small details are wrong. Oh well, still great to have.

Matchbox also has one called an MBX that is a tube buggy but definately a 40 based vehicle, I'm collecting them to.

 

[scott johnson]

not exact

its not exact but its close enough. They come out in Aug. I'm going to pre order on Amazon.com

DEFIANTS 4x4s


Blue one in upper right corner looks like a 40

that's what I was thinking. looks like a s***ty knockoff of the icon...
at least they're borrowing something cool, albeit out of my wallet range.

Holy crap, that is an exact copy of the TLC ICON. Everything in that picture is the same from fuel door, marker lights, the ICON skink in the grill, roll bar, mirrors, black out hood, bumper and so on. I would say that you took the ICON picture and traced it out and put their name on it.....

I bet the designer says he made the model and the TLC copied them and made the ICON.

Either way, I'm confused as the ICON's mascot/logo is that lizard/skink on the grill and it has it.

I say its a copy of that picture of the ICON and used the BAHA one for color inspiration.

How ironic is that.

You mean Iconic, right?

I've got the blue,mustard, orange and OD anaconda edition.
If you buy the MDX model you can drill out the rivets and add the body to one of their offroad racers for a SOA stance

my brother somehow scored a 69 FST RHD deisel model............and hes not even a true cruiser nut
die cast and opening hood too
