Fire Department New York fire truck.
Uploaded from my archive escpecially for The World Through My Eyes group ~~Weekly Scavenger Hunt~~ (Nov 11th - Nov 18th).
For some reason, out of all the modern Matchbox castings various Chinese toy makers could have copied, it appears the most popular one appears to be their 2006 Fire Engine! Maybe its because there is no real manufacturers licensing agreement to worry about or maybe its because its unashamedly angular bodywork is easy to copy? Whatever the reason, this generic Fire Engine has now been in the range for over a decade with a modification back in 2013 to aid in cost saving and can be found in multiple recolours such as this attractive yellow version from around 2014. A very simple looking vehicle it nonetheless shows that generic MBX castings can look realistic and well cast. Part of an old five vehicle set bought recently from Toys R Us. Mint and boxed.

I've rather taken to the new Boone County flavoured five vehicle set now appearing at Tesco hence why I have picked up a few from Tesco recently. Mainly licensed castings are contained though I doubt anyone would complain at seeing the long running but generic Hazard Squad.
Now fully plastic bodied with metal baseplate but just as realistic and crisply cast as it always has.
Mint and boxed.
If you visit enough Poundland stores you may well find quite a different selection of Matchbox on the pegs. Most have 2023 Case B but you can also find batches from 2021 too in long cards sourced from the Far East. One such branch had Case C in from that year and although most of the good castings had gone I was tempted enough to grab a couple of these Hazard Squad Fire engines.
Generic in design but entirely credible in styling this casting remains popular despite now having its entire body made of plastic.
Mint and boxed.
