![]() Today's car of the day is Realtoy's 2003 Audi A8. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Audi A8 ![]() The 2003-2009 Audi A8 was my favorite of the high-end luxury sedans, and I seriously considered buying a 2006 model in 2008. I was shocked by their horrid reliability ratings, and that kept me from taking the plunge. But that is where our toy cars come in. I am still able to own the A8, without worrying about repairs. Realtoy did a phenomenal job on this car. It is difficult to believe this was a dollar toy. ![]()

That's a lovely color of blue. Realtoy's attention to the front/rear tampos plus painting the window trim black on most models is highly commendable. Jermaine and James were both kind enough to hook me up with numerous models by RT. My copy is black.

Not my cuppa tea...but I continue to be impressed by Realtoy. The detail they provide on what I'm pretty sure are essentially dollar toys is nothing short of impressive. No doubt some would love to see MBX return to this kind of detail...and I must admit it sure wouldn't hurt my feelings any! |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I too, have obtained some really cool RT's from Jermaine and James. I can't get excited with upscale sedan subjects, but I admire each casting I have. Dean sums it up best with his remark, "It is difficult to believe this was a dollar toy." Edited by ivantt, Apr 3 2013, 06:15 PM.

Real Toy does a very nice job with their "dollar" models. Nice plain cars with no nonsense tampo slapped across them - and nice lights detail! |

Looks fantastic! I really appreciate the job that realtoy does with their models. I haven't seen one in a while, but I have a number of them in my collection. |

One of the things Realtoy has learned is how you can enhance a lot a good mold with good tampo's... Maisto's Audi A8 has a similar mold (if not the same) but looks a lot more toyish.... Same happens with MotorMax... sometimes they are able to enhance a good mold with very good tampos, getting an impresive quality feel for the money (Çan example of this is MotorMax Pagani Zonda...) |
