![]() Today's car of the day is Dickie's 2010 Volvo XC60. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Volvo XC60 ![]() ![]() Dickie typically produced unlicensed models that were easily identifiable, but not officially licensed. Many of the older Dickie models were copied from other brands' castings, but things started to change and Dickie released a handful of licensed models, displaying the Dickie name and hippopotamus logo on the base, along with the vehicle name. But just as Dickie was finding their footing with licensed models, the Simba-Dickie group acquired Majorette, and new Dickie models went the way of the dodo. Dickie remains the only manufacturer to replicate the XC60 in small scale, although the casting was used briefly in the Majorette line. ![]()

Now I know I'm getting older with how fast time is flying. I feel like the XC60 just came out, hard to believe it was introduced in 2008. |

Just wait...it gets worse. ![]() Looks somewhere between Majorette and Welly...not a bad thing, just low end for expectations. |

When I first looked I thought it was a Majorette as I have a number of the XC60 emergency vehicles so appreciate the background info and tie in between Dickie and Majorette.

I feel your pain. I have a granddaughter who got her driver's license earlier this year! On the subject of this car, if you get one of these "Dickie" Volvos, be sure to keep it indoors - You could get arrested for playing with... oh, never mind!

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

250TR, it's not your aging. Since the Volvo looks just like so many other SUV/ Jelly Bean/ Baked potato cars, who can tell what year you/re lookin' at???
