On further investigation regarding my last post, I found pics of the upcoming 1/64. It too has the black side stripes. No GT500, Cobra, or Shelby designations. I'm wondering if GL got "rights" to use the Shelby Collectibles casting tools for a cheaper price if they would not use the GT500, Shelby or Cobra logos.
Notice in this GL picture, they do not regard it as a Shelby, but a '67 Mustang.





Also, the side emblem seems to be this one that is on the Classic Recreation's Gone in 60 Seconds Officially Licensed car.


Instead of this one that was on the movie cars.

 

Wow, that is strange. That have used the Shelby name in the past. But it's also odd they are using the Shelby Collectibles casting.

 

Yeah! I am wondering what GL is doing. I know they have rebranded other company's castings from Welly, Malibu International and now GMP and others in the past, but I am still confused on how they are doing these. It confuses me that they can use a Shelby Collectibles casting, yet are not allowed to state "Shelby" or other designations.

Also, one really small nitpick thing I noticed on the 1/64. The casting for the body is clearly the "recast" with out the PIAA driving lights openings. They used screen printed (tampo printed) dots to replicate that. I know that Shelby Collectibles last year, had to recast their "Eleanors" without the driving lights and use the stock '67 Shelby hood instead of the Eleanor cowl hood (my guess is Gone in 60 Seconds owner rights issues with Toby Halacki's widow).

Here are the three different Shelby Collectibles '67 GT500 castings...the "cheap", the recast, and the original movie accurate on the far right.

 

More news!
Be on the look out for the third 9 pk exclusive '67 Shelby GT500.

 

BIG News! From Matchbox, coming soon!

P cases will be hitting shelves in the coming days...


Also, in the Retro Entertainment series, this 90210 '65 Mustang.


And, the 1/18 Maisto '15 Mustangs are showing up, too.

 

I want them all!

 

Really like the Matchbox Fox. I hope the scale is 1:64 on that one.

 

It is. Lately, Matchbox has been cosistent with their scales. For realism, it should be true 1/64 like the '68 GT/CS was and the '07 GT500 convertible.

 

To update my post on Hotwheels Q case Mustang. Here are pics. Keep in mind these still have til mid to late September before they hit store shelves nationwide.

 

 

Ugh! What stores have you found them in? We have been looking locally about every two days.

 

The 2015 Mustang Hotwheels is not hit US store shelves yet. They will be everywhere in mid September. But, this photo is from a blog I frequent who gets cases of them way early. Sorry if I misled you to think they were out already.

 

Spotted on line. The Greenlight Eleanor. It is a rare chase piece "green machine". The casting is a Shelby Collectibles casting. With GL name. Be on the look out soon.

 

Also, the first Hotwheels Mustang of 2015, is yet another Custom '07. This is the third year in a row we have had this casting.
