Title: MB47 Trash Truck
David Tilley - May 16, 2008 10:34 PM (GMT)
One of the latest batch of Matchbox that has just appeared, this is a brand new casting.
This is a much improved casting over the previous Matchbox Trash Truck from a few years ago.
Although the rear is not the same sort of moving feature that we are used to....
It is bendable (excuse my fingers, as I needed them to show the bendability of the plastic rear crusher section). I have been told by the guys at Mattel who made this that the plastic is extremely durable and will withstand a lot of pressure on it before being damaged.
It is a generic model, but to me does look very realistic. I am impressed.
