The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
I liked some of the Jada CHP & race cars. Not one of my favorite brands though due to their size and their cartoonish proportions.

I don't mind the cartoonish proportions so much if they don't try to take themselves seriously. I think that is where Jada, and to a large extent M2 with the Ground Pounders series, lose it. Muscle Machines had a something about them, cartoonish in an appealing way. MBX got it right in the same way with the Cosmic Blues (I just love that name) and assorted variants. Jada just feels like they are trying to find a middle ground and it just doesn't translate well...but that is only my opinion.

Very nice of you to share though. Thank you for that.

Jada does have some interesting pieces, especially the Rat Rods series and the earlier cars that looked fairly stock...I do have a Dodge Magnum and a Chevy SSR, as well as the two Mustang pedal cars...and I like the 37 Ford COE in the different variants.

This one is from a few years ago....but as a CHP officer, I bought extras of these releases whenever I could find them, thinking other officers would be interested in them. I am pretty sure I have an extra of this release, which I will try to find, and reserve for you James!

Thank you, I will be posting several doubles that I have over the next month, so maybe we can arrange a trade.

For a while I was trying to pick up the various Jada police cars even though the size seemed a bit large to me for my collecting tastes. It was interesting that some of the earlier ones had CHP markings while later ones were more on the generic highway patrol nature.

You have access to some cars I'd love to get my mits on, and I am positive I can make a trade quite enticing with some of the extras I have sitting around. I'm getting ready for a move to a bigger house, so this will take a little patience, but I'd love to work on a trade! PM me and we can talk a little more! :)
