Magnum P.I.

TOY CAR: Hot Wheels 1/64 Ferrari 308 GTS
I don't remember much about the show except for the cool car =p

This diecast was a really easy find as they're everywhere right now.

Enjoy!

My Name is Earl

TOY CAR: Matchbox 1/64 scale 1971 El Camino (2009 series, I think)

I haven't really seen the show so I really can't comment. And the actual car used in the show is the El Camino 1973. But this is the closest I could find =p

Here's what the show is all about as described by the site http://www.mycollects.com/

Earl Hickey is a ne'er do well without a job or a direction in life. Instead, he spends his days drinking beer, stealing whatever isn't bolted down and being a leech on society. But when he wins the lottery of a lifetime, Earl thinks his luck may have just changed...until he's hit by a car. As he recovers in a hospital bed,Earl realizes that maybe the reason why he's there is because of a simple five letter word: karma. For every rotten thing he's done, a rotten thing comes right back to him; and the only way he can stop that is to make good for every bad deed. Having compiled a lengthy list of things he's done to people, Earl sets out to right all the wrongs from his past. All of this on the promise that maybe, he can enjoy his fortune once and for all, but only if he can finish the list first. Aiding him is his lifelong best friend and brother, Randy and an ensemble of characters to assist, observe, amuse, berate, or are just there for Earl Hickey...



Hope you like the pics =)
 

Blade

TOY CAR: 1/64 Greenlight 1968 Dodge Charger, Black Bandit Series
Here goes my version of the summary of ALL Blade movies. Wesley Snipes is Blade. Blade is a vampire slayer who is half vampire. He is after some major villain that only he can stop. Serious asswhooping ensues and he wins the day.




No really, that's pretty much the basic plot of all Blade movies.



Not that I'm complaining, don't get me wrong. I honestly enjoyed all Blade movies. Well, maybe not much for the last one as that sucked but I had a bloody good time with the second movie. Now that was a movie with major bite!



Blade movies are really heavy on the fight sequences and they were particularly great on the first two. I can still hear the techno beat from the opening sequence of the first movie echoing in my head like some broken record. There's something twistedly (is that even a word?) awesome about watching a vampire hunter take out waves upon waves of vampire cannon fodder. Edward beware!



If you're an action fan, Blade movies are definite must see movies.

Onto the diecast:

Greenlight diecasts are really well made. They're like Johnny Lightnings, they both have rubber tires, good solid frames, nice details and good clean finish. It would have been nice if the doors open or if they offered it on a different series as I really didn't like the solid black tire rims offered by the Black Bandit Series. But overall, a good car that's nice to put on any display.

Enjoy the pics!
