UNBRANDED 1943 WILLYS JEEP MATCHBOX COPY 1/64
Buying so much new Tomica from Japan and Hong Kong recently has definitely raised the credibility of my collection and given it a thorough refresh. But old habits die hard and its time to get down and dirty with some cheapo Chinese offerings!
Sold in various Japanese Daiso discount stores where most items are still only 100 Yen which is equivalent to about 50p so expectations of the diecasts they stocked were very very low!
Made by an unknown toy manufacturer who have a penchant for copying Matchbox so one can only assume this is a terribly cheapened knock off of their 1942 Willys Jeep. They've made an already simple looking vehicle look even more so which is quite some feat with virtually no cast in detailing yet for that tiny price point it does have a pullback motor and rather stylish looking wheels.
Mint and boxed.
