XMAS CARS: Next #Matchbox is another yellow-boxed collectors'. New for 2026, the 1973 BMW 3.0. Hood opens up but doesn't "stay up." Could double for a sports car/racer. I don't have any white BMWs, and found this color scheme to be a must-have #diecast #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Toys #Cars

XMAS CARS: Today we're doing #Matchbox - Matchbox Collectors! With the classic yellow box. We have the 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville. It's a slick ride. Open-up doors on both sides. A chunky, weighty piece of #diecast. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography #HotWheels

Anybody here remember these action figures which came out between 1978 and 1981? The Adventure People by Fisher Price. I have a few, such as the nurse and fire chief. They were toys of characters with real life rescue jobs and other intriguing careers. #Toys #ToyPhotography #ActionFigures #Retro

Borderlands 4 is PASSED. Excellent! The second best Borderlands game after Number 2 (2012). #Borderlands4 took me 100 hours over 9 Live Streams, with roughly 70% Side Quests completed. Story completed. And level-capped Vex at 50. I recommend. Still surprised the GOTY Awards didn't give this a nod.

Speaking of Braille Hot Wheels cars, Went to the eye doctor earlier today. Pupils dilated, thorough examination, the whole nine. Getting new glasses after the new year (they have to make them up).

XMAS CARS: Next CASE B 2026 #HotWheels - #diecast is the 1947 Chevy Fleetline. Another class act like the Purple Passion. I only have one other Fleetline, a treasure hunt (pic shown), but this particular cast I like this year. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography #Chevy

XMAS CARS: This next #HotWheels - #diecast is CASE B and that's the 2026 Purple Passion. Purple Passion is always a class act; I liked last year's better. This time they went with a pink and gray look. The bottom of the car is white. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography

XMAS CARS: Mattel did it again. Today's #HotWheels - #diecast is a TOP 10 contender, a fantasy car, and it's 2026 Roller Toaster. I have FOUR Roller Toasters, but this one wins for design: A 1960s RETRO "I Dream of Jeannie" aesthetic. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography

XMAS CARS: New for 2026 is the Dodge Charger Daytona. I finally have it. It's a nice looking racer, and this is a really good, heavy piece of diecast.
