In the nicest upgrade, the “oversized” Deluxe PLANES of Planes: Fire & Rescue are not only better sized but have moving features! Blade Ranger. Most of Blade is diecast metal – everything above the white cab portion and below the rotor blades is diecast metal. The left door is diecast metal but does not open. […]

There is a Hot Wheels 1:64 Star Wars vehicles lineup. These will not be Camaro’s […]
