Wtf???

ARgghh!!!

As a collector of many scaled miniatures....I am appalled!!
WTF are they thinking? I hope these cars don't sell and their 1/18th scale 350z line goes to crap! My little nephews would consider these things to be ugly.

I mean.what other car in their line do they smack so much crap on you can't quite figure out what kinda car it is? Why even label it "350z" when the only geometry it is borrowing are the headlights and tailights. Shame on you sponsors!!


sorry I'm a passionate toy junky

the black is cooler cause it hides the lines but still a bit overboard

coupe is nicer than the roadster

I saw at 1/18th Scale Maisto at the hobby shop, it was Lemans Sunset with Nismo Kit. I would've gotten it, had it been Daytona Blue.

I bought the muscle machines 350z roadster in dark gunmetal (much darker than silverstone) a couple of months ago. The thing was covered with what I thought were stickers. I figured I could just peel them off and it wouldn't look that bad. Those decals are stuck on there very well. They almost seem like they are screen printed on or something as there is no edge or film around them. Looks like the only way I am going to get them off is to strip and re-paint the entire body.

Decals I can live with, The rear spoiler..hmmm kinda jgtc/ drift car and that's ok. The wheels are cool...a little two tone touch up with some enamel and it'll look multipiece.

Now that front bumper. WTF is up with that front bumper?? I can scoop up roadkill with that!

Do these Muscle Machines have detachable front bumpers like some of those modifier 1/18 scale cars? Or this is it?

I think it looks pretty good. Very agressive body styling. Definetly good for track..but on every day streets..I dunno. OH who cares..its only a 1/18 scale model. still cool in my opinion.

For real! I knew it reminded me of something but I could not quite put my finger on it.

The black one looks really cool in my opinion. Id take that anyday even for everyday driving. Imagine all that black is carbon fiber...

omg... that thing is a disgrace to the Z man!

i wonder how they actually got the right to make that model!

i own a 1:18 Silver Maisto....

i bought it on ebay, and there are a lot more where that came from.. that's why, when i searched for one, i intentionally excluded Hot Wheels or Nismo cause those are usually the ugliest ones....
