has anyone seen the F/C mataador? THANKS :wave:

I saw 2 of them at a weird place... at the parts counter of my local Dodge dealer!... they wanted 4.99 each.....

seen some at walmart, didnt like the absurd size, seemed extremely disporportionate

The local WalMarts had them for a while. They are out of stock now but I picked up a yellow one and a black one when they first came out.

Only on the "bay".....I frequent 4 different Wal-Marts, and never once saw the Matadors or Fieros.

I saw a Matador and 3 or 4 Fieros today.

any one got a pic of one?

On the contrary, that's the exact opposite reason I bought it. :p It's huge, but to match the proportions of the tires, I think it really, really looks good (really).

As a little experiment... hold your diecast up in front of the screen, keep backing away from the screen until the diecast matches up to this image. It's pretty close.

I found a yellow and a black one a month ago or so at the Wal-Mart in Mansfield, Ohio off I-71, but have not seen any there since. The stores in Ontario, Mount Vernon, Newark and Heath, Ohio, also netted none.

I've never seem one in the wild. Fieros are rare too. Saw the red Fiero once and it was gone. Went under the AG flag instead of FC but still very nice.


Regarding the size, look on the bright side...place them next to the Brittish Invasion series so that they seem more size appropriate. I keep hearing about it but have nothing to say until I bag one.;)

I got one a couple months back - the black one - and have not seen any since. They are big - good one about being on scale with the British Invasion - but it was a pretty cool cast.

Dear All:

Up to now, I just see the umsold Fresh Cherries at Wal Mart. None of the Matadors, Mustang 1971 or Fiero. I would imagine that the Matdor would be compatible with the Siku Crowd - 1/55 scale.

I still haven't seen the matador either.

Here's a pic of the black and yellow ones.
