2013 HOT WHEELS RETRO ENTERTAINMENT - SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT - '77 PONTIAC FIREBIRD (CARDED) - LATEST ASSORTMENT: 9.JANUARY.2013

Finally, we have seen the first photo of the latest assortment from the HOT WHEELS 2013 RETRO ENTERTAINMENT. This vehicle was based on the movie back in the old days named SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT (1977) where during those days were very famous both the actors such as Burt Reynolds as Bandit himself and the car '77 Pontiac Firebird which has the famous gold color firebird art at the bonnet. Back to this day, MATTEL has revised this great casting based on the movie.
THE MOVIE POSTER
DVD COVER
THE FAMOUS BANDIT & HIS JOYRIDE.. SMOKEY
Isn't it cool.. ?? This was in the '70s ..
This was all happens before the KNIGHT RIDER became famous during the '80s.
Again.. Thanks to MATTEL for coming up this great vehicle.. let's check it out the real thing..

CARDED HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN EBAY! - 8.JANUARY.2013

I must salute MATTEL for bringing this model back..
Really fantastic model indeed!
It really did a good job on all parts .. especially the body tampos..
The best part for me is the rear tail lights & the car plate really resemble the movie's car! :)
Even the base are made of DIECAST/METAL with 'UNIVERSAL STUDIOS' imprinted on it as well.
The wheels are in DEEP GOLD CHROME COLOR WITH DEEP DISH SPOKES WHEELS.
Overall.. all collectors & newbies alike MUST OWN this model!! A MUST! :)
This model will be in the market early to mid February 2013.
STAY TUNE FOR MORE UPDATES.
Thank you for visiting my blog & hope you have a good day. :D
