Zylmex's Datsun Sunshine - Merry Christmas!

[Faust]

It comes as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I like the oddball subjects. Loser cars and automotive failures are one thing, but I’m also a big fan of Street Vans and custom trucks too. Normally, I prefer to get my custom juices flowing by building a model of something, but once in a while I come across a die cast vehicle that’s just what the Doctor ordered!

A perfect example of this is the Zylmex “Datsun Sunshine” custom mini-truck. Chock full of the Hong Kong version of late ‘70s custom trickery, this little customized Datsun 620 is a cool little piece that looks great on display. At 1/43, it also doesn’t take up much room!

Check out this recent toy show find at the link below. It’s an early present to everybody, because everybody likes Sunshine on Christmas!

Glad to see you in the diecast section as well.   I have a Motormax Vega Diecast that would have you trembling with excitement.   They made a Gremlin and Pinto as well.  That Pinto would look good with your Cruisin wagon.

Hey Randy!

I actually have a lot of cool die-cast stuff; some more Russian stuff, some Corgi, and of course some oddball Playart and Zylmex stuff, too! 

Oh, are you talking about the "Fresh Cherries" stuff? Those are awesome. I wasn't into cars when they came out, but my brother has them ALL! I am always looking at them at his place. I do, however, have the Maisto Fusion. That's a cool one too!

Hope you had a good Christmas, man!

We did have a wonderful Christmas.  

And yes, the Fresh Cherries.  Have seen the Fusion, but too new for me at this point.   Funny how collections chage and evolve.  Or devolve since I'm doing only older stuff now?  Thinking of selling my Brookfield Neons - just don't really fit with my collection any more.   When I get ready, I'll check with you first as we have talked about those in the past I think.
