INCOMING 1:25 SCALE WHEELS - RETRO AMERICANA AND NEW BATMOBILE FROM MOEBIUS

TOLEDO COLLECTORS TOY FAIR CAR KITS on display included some mouthwatering new releases from Moebius Models.


Mat Irvine: The Moebius Models stand was fronted by Product Manager Dave Metzner, who deals with the company’s car and truck output.

Dave was particularly interested in showing the upcoming 1961 Pontiac Ventura, but also on display was a tantalising glimpse of the new Batmobile that will feature in the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The kit - which will be pretty well an essential buy for Bat fans - is due early 2016.

New logo for Moebius Models (below) replaces one based on an Aurora original.
