>>8159961the problem with the cars being "toyetic" is that a liking of diecast often stems from liking of real world automobiles, so appeal is lost when they stop resembling cars and start becoming more like cheap plastic and a lot of this has to do with the color choices of the plastic, bright plastic bases will almost always look absolutely horrific
while it's true that a lot of very realistic fantasy castings such as tail dragger/commando/way 2 fast are basically just real cars with real-world modifications which can create issues (see bad mudder), that doesn't explain why they can't make cars like switchback/backdraft/sho stopper/muscle tone/twin mill/etc. that have actual resemblances to realistic cars and concepts, it's nothing short of laziness there
