With the biking tampos, would have been neat if they could have done some plastic bikes to ride in the back of this one.

The new Color Changers line was the only batch I've seen that should have had the VW in it. As usual with my luck, when the line hit the local Walmart, it was the only one not in there.

It's a great looking casting, with lots of potential in terms of livery. The German fire services, military, and THW used Dokas heavily, and I'd like to see it with some heavy equipment dealer service liveries.

I was playing with some of my Matchbox on my coffee table yesterday and, to my surprise, the VW with the tools in back does not roll, even when you're holding it down on the surface. The wheels turn, but unlike every other model I had on the mini-layout, this one can't be pushed to roll by itself. The front axle is too loose and the tires hit the wheel well and it won't freewheel. The other one on the same table rolls just like it's supposed to. So, the 'trademark' name (Superfast) doesn't apply to this one that ended up in my collection.....(I have another still carded; maybe it works right....)
