1:18 Scale American Muscle Speedracer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Who wouldn't want there very own Mach 5? This replica is too cool. The manufacturer went to a lot of trouble reproducing a lot of small details. I would recommend this product to anyone who is a fan of the original animated series.

(More customer reviews)This comes in right behind the sky jump as being the favorite speed racer set in our house. It comes with the exclusive race wrecked Racer X car. That car only comes in this set. Lots of fun for hours of playtime.

Speed Racer Jada Mach 5 1:55 Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I collect TV/Movie themed die-cast cars of all brands and without a doubt Jada's version of the Mach 5 is a lot better than its competitors. Jada's vehicle actually resembles the one in the Japanamation Cartoon of the 60s or whenever it was first produced (I watched it as a kid in the 80's). There's a lot of Mach 5s out there at the moment with collectible/toy companies all trying to cash in on the Speed Racer movie. Surprisingly this is actually one of the cheaper die casts of the Mach 5 out there. Some of them like Hot Wheels with the cheapest looking wheels on the vehicle you've ever seen have seemingly put no effort into their product whatsoever. Jada's is less than double price (and it's still only a few dollars total price) and is well worth paying the difference.
Unlike a lot of other competitor products Jada's Mach 5 is made of die cast metal, so even if your not buying it as a display vehicle and want to give to a kid (or you're going to play with it yourself) it will withstand a lot more slamming into walls, banging on the ground action than its plastic bodied rivals.
Another great feature of this product that rival Die Cast Mach 5's don't do is the front wheels slightly turn.
The only downside is, like the majority of die cast vehicles you buy the packaging cannot be opened and resealed without pretty much destroying it. It is nice packaging though. If you are not an opener with the TV show Text Logo prominent, a nice drawing of the Mach 5 above the bubble containing the diecase vehicle and a little bit of black cardboard complete with checkered flag and the words Mach 5 under the vehicle. The packaging also only uses the same colours that are on the car (mainly white with red and black and the word Die Cast and numeral 5 yellow like the mach 5's headlights) the car in the packaging displays well! A little plastic square at the bottom of the bubble allows the package to stand upright on its own a shelf which is a feature that most other die casts don't do.
A very good product, which also is has nothing indicating it is either a movie (which will date very fast) version product that a lot of competitors do on their packaging. As I said I looked around and this is easily the best one and surprisingly one of the cheapest as well! Scale is 1:55.
You can also collect three other Speed Racer vehicles in this series, Shooting Star, Snake Oiler and Prince Kabala.

Hot Wheels Speed Racer Grand Prix 6-pack 1:64 Diecast Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set to keep at my house for my grandsons. The toy was an instant success, and even the parents were choosing favorites. The cars are very well made and durable. I feel like the price for the set was reasonable for the 6 cars that are in the package. I think the educational value is in the sharing aspect, more so than in any other concept.

Speed Racer - Diecast 1:32 Scale Mach 5 Vehicle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have two of these (each kid had to have his own). The toy is a good playable size and made of die-cast metal. That's good! However, on both toys I purchased, the upright tail fins came off in the first hour of play. I tried a couple times to glue them back on but the pieces are small and don't have much of a groove on the car to reattach them.
So, if you're looking for a toy to make your kid happy, go with it. If you are looking for a durable collectors' item then you might want to be careful about the fins!

1:24 Scale Diecast Speed Racer Mach 5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mainly because I thought it was cheap for the size, and it is! 1:24 scale basically is as large as an adult hand. The design is really beautiful, considering it's taken from two-dimensional drawings, but it absolutely has the feel of the original series Mach 5. It's a bit large for me, because all I do is look at it, but when I have kids over, it's large and interesting enough to hold their interest for a while. (Kids unfortunately, prefer my spring-motor SUV, because it "goes")
This model/toy is a strange size, but it's fun to play with, and makes a nice collectible if you have a bit of space to display it. Personally I prefer the smaller 1:32 and 1:64 versions, because I just keep little toys around my workspace, but the craftsmanship and durability on this Mach 5 are truly excellent! I'm waiting for a die-cast "Shooting Star" series (Racer X's car) from Jada toys, they are excellent crafters!
(Also, the working doors are nice, but they don't seem to conform to the series, they cut the "5" in half, which is off-putting. If you are looking for details, though, they are pretty well-made.)
