Here is a photo of an advert which appeared on the side of various citybuses in Copenhagen last week.Finger prints on flesh color with a small upside down logo - I wonder which Matchbox product is being promoted by these pre-Christmas adverts???? Aside from the very :cool: second wave of NBA Dodge Vipers (in some warehouse since 2000) I have never seen any Matchbox cars for sale in any Copenhagen stores this millenium so perhaps Mattel plan to launch the brand here for Christmas :hat: .I sure hope so :thumbsup:
Perhaps the advert would have been more effective if a toycar was included in all that flesh colored space.......or is a new Matchbox doll about to be launched....I dont know.....

I can understand the fingerprints. It's as if it were being picked up and played with. But I don't understand the upside down logo (unless it's an error or a chase vehicle :lol: ).

I agree with you guys :thumbsup: ,I think it was the flesh color that fooled me -I wonder why they didnt use a yellow background so that the finger prints obviously appear on the bus not a poster?? Most but not all other buses with this advertising have the Matchbox logo right way up.I hope we will get the new Superfasts and 5 packs here -went to TRUS yesterday -still no Matchbox in Denmark....
