Picked up a bag of 24 for ten bucks.

D'oh! They are 1/32 scale!!!! :( what the ----?

All is not lost, gonna paint some up and make a little Playset for Grandson, using those Maitso 1/32 pullback cars.

But why, why? Why not 1/64 scale? What the duece got into their heads, thinking 1/32 figs look good with 1/64 cars????

!@#$%^& Mattel! :)

hw and mb jump around scale wise

the motorcycles, atv's etc are close to 1/32

but even the 1/64 are all over

vw bugs are oversized, and bigger vehicles are undersized

thats why some casting work for HO (1/87) scale

the pullbacks are pretty close to 1/32 but also jump around, too

I used 1/64ish electric football players for Rollerball miniature game, and 1/56 wargaming motorcycles. They don't run though, just for looking at. — CanesBart

I'm sure it had something to do with "Choking Hazards" somewhere along the design phase

yup, great point, that stopped a lot of products, the "shot glass" test — dr_dodge
That's why we can't have lawn darts anymore. :( — CanesBart
