XIN KA ER 1971 BUICK RIVIERA MK3 HOT WHEELS COPY 1/64

If it wasn't for Hot Wheels its extremely unlikely Xin Ka Er would have considered modelling the 1971 Buick Riviera or any other classic U.S. car it has in its large line up of 1/64 diecasts. Like so many low end Chinese toy makers they feel no shame whatsoever in copying whatever Hot Wheels and indeed Matchbox are producing even though ironically they aren't always able to be sold as cheaply as the originals!
In this instance I was able to buy five different six vehicle sets from AliExpress VERY cheaply though that price obviously reflects the quality of these castings which in fairness aren't horrible but you can see where costs have been saved.
Mint and boxed.
