Matchbox

One of my friend gave me a Matchbox toys for a token and I love it. Somehow it had satisfies my cravings for vehicles. If I could not actually get one model then for sure I can buy this cute matchbox to enjoy the feeling of having a new collection.

Matchbox is a die cast toy brand currently owned by Mattel, Inc. Matchbox toys were so named because the original models were packed in boxes similar in size and style to boxes of matches. The series became so popular that the Matchbox name was once widely used by the public as a genericized trademark for all die cast toy cars measuring approximately 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) in length, regardless of brand. In the 1970s, Matchbox switched to the more conventional, plastic and cardboard "blister packs" used for other die cast cars such as Hot Wheels, although the box style packaging was re-introduced for the collector market in recent years, particularly successfully with the release of the "35th Anniversary of Superfast" series in 2004.

I remember the toy given to me by my dad when I am still young. I love reminiscing the past, it allows me to bring back to my ‘past-me’ someone who had been so brave in struggling to live a normal life despite the abnormalities of my being.

Thanks for the toy Ladee!
