A bunch of these have been seen on the bay and elsewhere recently being offered from China. Could it be some early factory sneaks? Looks pretty good. Not perfect, and certainly not “elite” but a bit better than the 1:50 for sure. Looks like a small version of the 1:18 complete with all its errors. And hey – still missing the upper bat-ray stripes!  So the questions are – is this really a production Mattel 1/43? Or another odd Asian resin knock-off  like the GADM/Corgi  hybrid that’s been out for a while?  I have one coming in shortly so I’ll let you know when I get it.
