Apart from the slightly suspect wheels, this is a very good model considering its low purchase cost. Up until very recently these Realtoy Ford Explorer models were just 69 pence from Tesco. The level of detail and quality for that price is amazing. This appears to be based on a British Police force livery. Mint and boxed.
Strangely very few of the licensed Matchbox models have been copied by Chinese toy makers as for some reason they prefer their unlicensed generic castings. The 2012 Ford Explorer has been copied by Tian Hong Toys and uses liberal amounts of plastic though the shape has been captured fairly accurately in a chunky kind of way. Part of a five vehicle set. Mint and boxed.

With a serious drought of new Realtoy vehicles available at Tesco over the last 12 months in terms of anything different to collect it was a welcome sight seeing a new if small range of Emergency liveried models appear in Tesco stores around March of this year. It coincided with the demise of Matchbox and introduction of Majorette to their pegs and a general titivation of their diecast section. No new castings in this Realtoy range unfortunately but this age old Ford Explorer does get a new Fire Emergency Unit livery. Its still licensed thankfully which means it keeps its Ford badging though I wish they'd use better wheels which look to be a hangover from their Bling days. Mint and boxed.
Great little car the 2.0L Golf Sport, well finished, all panels fit as they should, great performance, the boss loved it

Sweetwater County sheriff's office Sergeant Dan Andrews took a report of an abandoned car near Gill Exit on I-25 .
It looks like the old minivan made a left turn in front of that box truck and didn't quite make it but the driver was ok.
The real vehicle may have ended production back in 2001 but the second generation Ford Explorer is still going strong in the Realtoy range into 2017 and no doubt for many years yet! It started out in civilian clothes but most of its long life has been used in many Emergency liveries such as this Fire Emergency Unit version which began to appear as a single in Tesco stores back in March 2016. Some of Realtoys finer detailing has now disappeared in the name of cost cutting such as black bumper inserts but overall its still the realistic chunky casting its always been. Bought from Tesco back in August 2016. Mint and boxed.
While working at Universal Studios in early 1992 (while I was working on "Back to the Future: The Ride"), I stumbled across these newly-minted (and as-yet-to-be-destroyed-during-filming) vehicles, all used in the original JURASSIC PARK that was shooting on the lot that year.
An earlier Realtoy Ford Explorer model in civilian colours. Virtually everyone I've seen on sale in the U.K. over the last several years have been in Police or Fire liveries. Part of a 3 vehicle set sold under the Chad Valley brand. Mint and boxed.

It was with a sense of foreboding inevitability that Tesco would eventually ditch Realtoy in favour of generic HTI models but when it did happen very recently it was still sad. So much so that I had to search the internet to make sure they hadn't actually gone out of business! They still don't appear to have a website even in 2017 so perhaps never will but they do still produce models and can be found in various countries where they can still be found in Toys R Us stores etc...
Last year things still looked bright for their stay at Tesco with the introduction of a handful of new castings and recolours mainly Emergency themed such as this good old Ford Explorer. I predictably managed to find absolutely bucket loads of them and maybe with hindsight I didn't need so many of this particular casting it still represented decent value for money considering its licensed status and realistic proportions. Bought back in August 2016. Mint and boxed.

Love that car, it is the 1st Rice Burner which appealed to me and what a great car it is, super value for money. One deciding factor was that it is a 4 seater, in other words room for Jackie my Jack Russell.
Its black exterior detailing has now gone in the name of cost cutting but the Realtoy Ford Explorer is still a decent budget model which shows no sign of being discontinued and even survived the recent cull of the Tesco Emergency series. Its a licensed casting with a new believable livery and still manages to keep hold of its silver painted lights and FORD badging though sadly Realtoy still insist on using those bling wheels! Mint and boxed.
