Ok, so you know that Sweet Pea was put out by a different company (MGA Entertainment, the same company that brought us Bratz dolls) Here she is;  And I know you know that it also came out in a raw, chase version;  As did the Figure 8 car;  But, how many of you have seen the other cars in that release in the raw? Skunk Werks  Hell Runner  Fiddy Fo  They're all prototypes that I got from Jesse. |

Yeah, I know, I should really focus on taking better photos. pun intended.
So, the prototype Cuda has a grained vinyl roof and the production version is smooth.

I wonder if I have it backwards and the grained roof was the production model? Poor memory, ya know. Do you remember where you got yours?
Dan, the zamac Sweet Pea and the figure 8 car (Outlaw 666) were the chase cars for series 1 and 2. The others are prototypes, never released.

Ok, I took a good look at my cars, and here's the dealio...... I was actually right the first time. The grained roof Cuda IS the prototype. I also have that one in zamac Don't know how I missed posting it before, but here it is;  So here's where the confusion came from.... The cars I posted above are from the MGA Entertainment releases. They called the Cuda the "orange Bomb". And the production version has a smooth roof. Muscle Machines also released the Cuda (actually calling it a Cuda) and their version has a grained roof. The Muscle Machines Cuda is actually a little bit larger than the MGA Ent. release. I guarantee if you flip your Cuda over, it'll say Muscle Machines on it. it also has a black base and the slam suspension, the MGA version doesn't. Sorry for the confusion, but I did say the cars were from MGA. That clear it up? |
