New toys?

I saw a 1:38 yellow Panel Cruiser monster truck, similar to the purple one, made by Funline in Target today. Also saw a 5 car funny car set that included a white PT with blue flames. Sorry, no photos as I didn't buy them. PTCruzr?

Hmmm...... after re-reading Dan's post I noticed that he said that he saw "a 1:38 yellow Panel Cruiser monster truck". The ones the Sean and I posted are 1:43 scale.
Dan, are you sure it was a 1:38???

I also beleive it is 1:43 scale. Both are not new unless you hadn't seen them before.....kinda like me. I'm a little behind in seeing toys sometimes.

Do you have one of the Funline purple Panel Cruisers? Those are almost the same size as the Maisto 1:39 and I am sure that the yellow one was the same size as the purple one I have at home. Also, it was a different package than the one you show above. Who makes the stampeders?

Dan, I've got a few Funline purple Panel Cruisers. They are called Stampeders and made by Funline. The are available in 1:64's and 1:43's.

Here's a picture of a 1:64 Stampeder.


Another version of the 1:64


The 1:64's are also available in various 3 car packs.
Here's one of them. This one has white flames on the sides.


The purple panel is also available in a 1:43 scale in various 3 car packs.
Here's a pic of one of them.


Here's the single boxed version of the 1:43

FunLine makes the Stampeders as well.

The purple FunLine Panel is 1:43, looking at it right now.

Okay, it looks like the yellow one I saw must have been the 1:43 size because my purple Funline Panel Cruiser is the same size as the battery-operated, blue flamed Panel Cruiser made by New Bright.

Anytime you see either of these names you'll know that it was made by Funline Merchandise Co., Inc.
