So Mattel retired this casting back in 2001. Which begs the obvious question:"What the Goddamn Hell were they thinking?!?!" This is the 1997 version of the RADAR RANGER which I just released from it's 20 year plastic and cardboard prison. This thing appeals on so many levels: the near perfect colour pallete, the super-retro sci-fi stylings, the six effing wheels and the full die-cast body. Been after this lump for a while. Glad to have finally nabbed it
