Post subject:  TOO SMALL-fast & furious spy racers 1:16- DON"T BUY
-----------------------------------------------TOO SMALL FOR 1:18---------------------------------------------
the 1:16 is way way off. i'm thinking 1:24 would be generous. i'll try to figure it out.
measured still mounted in box* so aprox
9" long
3 1/3" wide
5" center to center f>b wheels
3" or less figure (too small/thin for a 1:18 child imho)
-------------------------------------------------- DON"T BUY FOR OUR SCALE!------------------------------------

i saw these the other day while trying to find info on the jada batmobile i picked up. the batmobile is slightly under 1:18 scale but also listed as 1:16. i thought this thing was very cool looking, but i have never heard of this show. or game?

today i saw it on clearance on wm website so i popped. i added enough stuff to get free shipping.

i haven't been able to find any pics with other toys to know how it will look/work with figures.it says 12"x6"x4" but i swear i read it was 10" on some other site. i'm hoping it is in the 10-11" range. i'll update with pics when it comes in.

i plan on using it as a start for a custom so i hope it comes apart easy.

anyone have one? seen one in person?

1:16 tends to run big so I'm guessing it means 12". Which all things considered for a supercharged spy car wouldn't be aweful.

Or that could be the box/packaging dimensions. Looks awesome though, let us know how it looks in person!

I think he means the F&F kids show the toy is based on.

I had no idea it was out, but remembered hearing about it.

that came fast.
it is way too small for what i wanted. i don't think you could cram an o-ring figure in it. now i gotta decide if i use it for wheels and parts or just save it for a boy christmas present. it is a cool looking car.
that is my luck. if i passed i would of seen it later and it would of been exactly what i need. i guess stuff like this has to be atleast seen in hand.
at least the 3 christmas presents i got in the order for my granddaughters are nice.

in 1:24 if
he is 3" tall then 6'
it is 9" long then 18'

1970 gto was about 17'
2022 challenger about 16.5'

eta
i hardly ever leave reviews on store websites but i left one for this. maybe it will save some other 1:18 guys from getting let down.

the car might be good size for your sw mission/mega bashes. imagine it in flat black with big dripping skull if you make a wee punisher :)

A good fodder deal that turns out to be the wrong size is a special kind of disappointment. Sorry it was a bust but thanks for the heads up, almost pulled the trigger on one myself.
