Welcome to another edition of Today On The Boulevard. If you read my Kroger exclusive case review, then you already know how I said I would post about the other releases I was missing once I found them. Well... as you can see from the title, I was able to find the other ones from case H. So with that being said, let's get this review started.
The first release for today's post, is the Mad Manga that's apart of this year's HW Art Cars mainline set. You won't typically see HW Art Cars featured here on the BLVD. I usually don't like the artwork that's applied to them. Now, there are a few rare occasions where I do end up adding one to my collection. Basically, I will get them if I don't have the casting, or if I happen to like the design that was created.
This release of the Mad Manga, is the one time where I actually got it due to the artwork that's featured on it. For this release, the designers created a cool manga styled theme that features some robots. The artwork on this release, gives me flashbacks to when I used to watch Gundam on Toonami way back in the day.
I should also mention, that I really like how they decided to only decorate specific sections of this casting's body. Those sections are it's door, hood, and roof.
One of the cars in today's 1:64 Scale GT Circuit race, is the recolor of the BMW M3 GT2. Some of you might remember how I wasn't very pleased with the design featured on this release. Basically, I felt that the designers could have created a much better design. To be honest, I still kind of feel that way. However, my opinion of it is starting to change, and it's all thanks to this recolor.
There are two main things I like about this release. The first of those things, is the overall color scheme. This release is now sporting the exact colors that are seen on BMW's race cars. The second thing I like, is how the designers decided to add an additional real-life sponsor decal. Pirelli is the company that's featured. Having a tire sponsor, is a huge plus for me. In fact, I feel it should have been added to the red one. I feel the red one's color scheme is perfect for a Pirelli livery.
As usual, there are multiple 1:64 Scale GT governed races going on at Diecast BLVD. Drag racing is the other one that's being held today. Now, if you decided to participate, then I hope you're prepared to lose. Today, I'm driving this year's Treasure Hunt release of the Mustang Funny Car. I don't always get the regular Treasure Hunts when I find them, however, I will if I like the casting. And this is one casting I like.
I like all of the design choices that were made for this release. Remember last year's release of the Baja Truck in the Speed Blur mainline set? Well... this Mustang Funny Car was given the same exact theme. And I feel the theme looks really good on this car. In my opinion, it's a really good alternative to the standard Hot Wheels Racing livery.
The second car participating in today's 1:64 Scale GT Circuit race, is the recolor of the 2016 Ford GT Race. Like a lot of recolors I get, I like this one more than the first one. The first color is still nice because it's based on an actual Borla themed Ford GT. I just feel this one is better because it matches a lot of the other Borla themed releases I have. And helping to make it match, are the side stripes, which are now red.
