Is there a 69-72 blazer made by hotwheels?

Does anyone know if hotwheels or matchbox or anyone makes a blazer in our years.

Thanks, Rick

Matchbox made one a while back. It is called Mallard Acers. It is out of production now but they appear on e-bay all the time. I bought one for $12. on e-bay. I have seen them go over $30. If the price goes too high, keep watching, another will appear in a few days.

There are a couple others that size, at least one made by Matchbox they are orange and there even another one that is a Police type rig similar looking to the one above. However none of these are hotwheel size, they are about 3 times the size of a hotwheel.

I've seen the police one on e-bay as well. I think it is the same size as the Mallard Acres rig - 1/43 scale. Gee_Emm, if you have or see any pics of the others, please post them. I'm always watching for more toys!

There are the larger ones that are 1/25 scale made by Ertl. They made the Wix blazer, a cast metal kit and a few others based on the same mold. I have the Ertl kit. Painted it to match my rig and I'm working on lifting it with some larger tires. If I ever get it finished, I'll post a pic.

Are these still availble? about 8 years ago I saw a Monster truck called Thunderbolt II. I bought about 5 of them and built them different ways over the years using other truck models.

The orange blazer in that pic is part of the Matchbox Collectibles series, I should know cause i'm the one who bought it for him!!!

I can't seem to find it on their site, I bought it a last summer(I think) in a gift shop near Brainerd, MN

The Ertl Kits are a cast metal body with a plastic top, interior and under carrage. Not a lot to them. I've seen the Tunderbolt plastic kit go for over $50 on e-bay. There is another plastic kit called Boondocker by AMT. They go for a small fortune on e-bay too.

Here is one I've never seen before on e-bay. It looks like it is the same mold as the orange one above and the Mallard Acres.
