Speed Racer Shooting Star 1:18 Scale Auto World Diecast Review

Diecast Collectors Will Love Auto World’s 1:18 Scale Speed Racer Shooting Star!

Auto World’s Speed Racer Mach 5 diecast has been such a hit with 1:18 scale collectors that it’s only natural that they follow up with Racer X’s fabulous Shooting Star also in 1:18 scale. This precision diecast replica model is loaded with cool working features found on the Anime original – just like the Auto World Mach 5.

This Shooting Star diecast includes a telescopic front grapple claw straight from the 1960s cult TV series. The doors open for access to the detailed interior. The rear hinged engine cover lifts up for a great look at the powerful rear mounted motor. There is a popup periscope. Steerable front wheels. Exhaust tubes that burst through the engine cover. Even a 1:18 scale figure of the mysterious Racer X included.

Racer X is Speed Racer’s long-lost brother who drives the Shooting Star as an undercover agent to protect Speed from the villains who will stop at nothing to win races at any cost.  This Auto World exclusive is a fine addition to any diecast collection and a must have addition to all Speed Racer fans and Mach 5 owners!
