Greenlight vs. Matchbox Mini Convertible Left = Greenlight & Right = Matchbox The MBX is definitely bigger, checking in @ 1:58, while the GL is much smaller. (I'm not a good judge of scale; I need to be told.) ![]() *Both castings look great in yellow with black interior. ![]() ![]() *The GL has a real steering wheel with a column; MBX has a cast steering wheel and no column. (No pics...sorry. My photography skills are not that great so the pics were blurry and not worthy of sharing) *The rear seats on the GL have separate headrests; MBX has molded headrests but only a parcel shelf. (again no pics...see comment above) *The GL has plastic inserts for headlights and taillights; MBX has tampos all around. ![]() ![]() *Both have side mirrors as part of the body. *Both have turn signal repeaters on the front fenders, but the GL has them painted; MBX just has bumps where the repeaters are. Overall the level of detail is much better on the GL...for the money I would expect that. However, I still prefer the MBX. Your thoughts? |

For the money, it's hard to go wrong with the MB. I prefer the GL/High Speed casting myself. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

GreenLight dominates this one, except for the wheels. I'm sure they're accurate but they look horrible... |

I vote for the GL here. Like the plastic inserts for the lights over the tampos. |

The proportions on the GL are wacko. The Mini looks quirky, and those side mirrors jut out way too far. I believe Matchbox's 1/64 experience is shown here. |

The GL one looks better. However, you get more for your money for the $1 matchbox. |
