With the Matchbox basic mainline being transformed from a generic filled hell to one of almost complete licensed castings within less than a decade it would be churlish to complain too much regarding their new Blaze Buster II. Yes Matchbox do have scores of licensed Fire Engine castings they could use but sometimes either through cost saving or the whims of a designer they feel compelled to go "original" or generic to you and I ;-p
Its all plastic body is to be expected now though for me the whole thing has lost that visual solidity and futuristic styling of the original Blaze Buster and has been replaced with something more akin to the Hot Wheels line!
It isn't awful by any means for its pocket money toy status, its just not something which is probably needed and seems a bit devoid of any meaningful character!
