I have been stocking up on Hot Wheels recently.
These little vans are great for my 1938 US Army after conversion. They will be command vehicles and radio trucks. In reality they are milk trucks.
They are sort of miniature monster trucks. So the tires and interior and bottom have to go and get replaced with period tires. I ignore the interior as the windows are very smokey. I have not finished any yet but I do have a couple taken apart.
Masters of the Universe vans by Hot Wheels. This is the Dodge A100 series van, lowered and painted with Masters of the Universe stuff on it. Hot Wheels has done a few versions of this van, with essentially just different schemes.
They are $6.50 because the tires are really nice, the paint jobs are very fancy and it's all metal.
The fancy paint will get stripped and I will repaint them light blue. They will become vans from my 1966 Batman universe.
They served at least six, but likely more, jobs in that show. All blue, but usually with signage on the sides and sometimes rear. Many of the villains had them, they were also police and fire department and TV new vans. I likely will swap out the tires and try to raise the wheels a bit as they are pretty low.
