welp i spoke with the owner of funline toys today (people who make the car below in pic.. also check out site http://www.musclemachines.com/). i have been joking around with him for about a year now about doing a maverick. and today.. he told me hes working on one right now... YES!!! he liked the way the maverick looked after i showed him my car on my site! so cross your fingers and hope every thing comes out ok!
I WANT ONE!! I have a very large toy collection!!...quite a few of the muscle machines!!...I think the maverick would DEFENIATLY make my collection!!
I can't wait to see them! I want one too! Any time frame he was thinking of having them produced? Soon, later, ...? Is he doing a Grabber? -Corbin
I e-mailed them about a year ago about doing a maverick or comet, and got no response. I guess it pays to know the people! That would definitely be cooool!
good question.. i was just so happy he told me hes working on it now. i didn't bother to ask him which one. hell all i know is he saw my site as well as being told by someone at toyota (one of my friends) to make one. So maybe he made a decision off of an LDO model... haa haa haa. no but i really Ford must see the final copy before it gos to production. so they also have a say yes or no if it produced. lead time hard to say... if you seen their import line of diecast cars i worked on the logos for them and that was last year in march i didn't see those in the stores till november. so yeah don't expect to see them soon. he usually brings by protypes all the time if i see one i'll let you guys know.
yeah these guys get more then enough e-mails and what not a day.. they pretty much ignore them.. don't take it to personal! but keep your fingers crossed
I e-mailed them about doing a Maverick about a month or so ago and they replied immediately. Here's the reply I got: Good advise and I will let the Muscle Machine Team know about it. Have a great week! Richard - Funline Merchandise Co. So I've got my fingers crossed.
i actually saw the owner or old owner who still works there at FRYs about a month ago.. i asked him about it.. he wanted me to bring my car down so he could see it.. i dont think he can invision what one looks like fixed up! i just haven't had the chance go down there.. the place is like 20 mins from my house.. again just haven't had the time!
Maverick Man, Roll one of those beautiful Mavericks down there when you get the chance. How can they resist? That should be the inspiration they need! Keep up the good work!
