Angry Birds - Tomica vs. Hot Wheels Edition

Ferkó and I played Gran Turismo 5 several days before. We have compared BMW 2002 Turbo with Nissan Skyline KPGC10 on Cape Ring - a curvy, but also a very fast track. Ferkó has fell in love with the brutal power and sharp suspension of the Beemer; I've rather enjoyed the highly balanced handling of the Hakosuka.
During the races - I was shamefully beaten - we have realized, that the green BMW looks like... a Minion from the Angry birds. Just look at them:

What else could be best Angry Bird, as a red Kenmery from the Tomica Limited breed? And Minion is of course a Hot Wheels 2002.

Small, red, angry: Tomica Limited Nissan Skyline KPGC110 GT-R













Big, green, mean: Hot Wheels BMW 2002





























Who is the big one?







































Run piggy, run!

The coolest snowplough..

...is coming from Japan. Three-inches long, pull-back awesomeness.
It's an Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak race car, made for the japanese Boss Softdrink / Coffe. Enjoy it!

Holographic, supersonic

















Out of the dark


















It's not as precise just like an 1/64 Kyosho - but hey, it's a Softdrink attachment!

It looks good on the snow

















Those wings...



















Square butt















The original one - short, catty, fast (Source)
















Just like its little japanese cousin







Introduction




















Welcome to the ModelFreaks Site!


Before you enter into the blog, I must warn you: collecting model cars as a hobby, looks harmless at first sight, but it isn't. Actually its a very dependant issue. Our group - the writers of ModelFreaks - gathering for a chat week by week. We sit down in a Mall's restaurant, take out the newest acquisitions from the boxes or bags, and start to talk over. The mothers covers their child's eyes, while the fathers are smiling as they see, how we put off our toys onto the desktop.
We are very comprehensive. Some of us prefers the american muscle cars, and manufacturers like Johnny Lightning, M2, Greenlight. Others prefers the japanese beauties: Tomicas, Kyoshos: The smaller, S -or H0-scale cars, like Schuco are also welcomed, just like the heavy AutoArt 1/18 models. Model building and modding are plays with.
It's an addiction - as we joke about after a large bout of shopping. Well, one way to handle this, to talk about it; gentle reader, please see this site as the therapeutic centre of the Anonymus Society of the Model Addicts. Caution! This disease is very contagious!
