Extremely simple models , body and wheels only , these Impala Toys are copies of the german toys Jean . Soft plastic , without glazing and interior .

Pic 2 , rear view of the Impala Toys Kapitan P 2,6 L . Nearby a
cute model of the Blitz Maultier . Choro Q is a
japanese maker of small models , trucks , cars , etc . In this
serie the cars seems like caricatures . Simple plastic toys with
" pullback " action , no glazing and interior . Some have small
stickers , Red Cross like mine , but can be different . Next model comes from Japan . Not realy an Opel Kadett , the red car is in fact an Isuzu Gemini . Model was made by Tomica , and this serie name is Tomica Limited Vintage Neo . Red metal body , grey plastic interior , clear glazing , rubber tyres with plastic hubcaps . This model isn't cheap , more than 20 US $ . This Tomica model is made in China and sold with a cardboard box . The last car , again not realy an Opel Commodore C , but an Holden Commodore . Biante Models , an australian brand making theyr models in China , like almost everybody . Excellent model , yellow metal body , tan plastic interior , rubber tyres and detailed chassis with motor , gearbox and exaust . I haven't the box . |

Pic 4 , two brazilian Opel Corsa . Kiko Corsa A is a copie of the english Corgi Toys model . On the left a light blue over grey model , metal upper body and plastic inferior including base , grille and bumpers . Grey plastic interior , clear glazing and headlamps , very small fast wheels and cardboard box . Corgi , Made in GB and Vauxhall Nova on the base make me think that this is in fact a Corgi Toys . However seller told me that this was an early edition , so , different wheels from english and brazilian models . It hasn't rear window . Fooled or not ? I realy don't know ! The second model has yellow upper body and black plastic inferior including base , grille and bumpers . Clear glazing , black plastic interior and big fast wheels . Kiko , Opel Corsa and Ind. Brasil , on the base leaves no doubt that this is in fact a Kiko . |
