MB1091 : 2009 International eStar

I first wrote about this model in the blog post from April 13th, 2021 so there is not much more to say when we look at the latest variation of this model.  At this point I guess the pictures will do all the talking, but I do notice a theme appearing, well two themes actually.

The two are emergency themes that I can see are:

  1. The continuing downgrading and destruction of the brand with the fully black windows to save on having an interior, if the interior is still in there, then why the blacked out windows
  2. The Speedy X-Press livery:  Is this a new theme? same as the National Parks theme, we have seen the design before and if it is great!

I really hope that Mattel stop with the first but continue with the second of these recurring themes, I love seeing a continuation of a logo like Speedy X-Press as it creates a collection within a collection, long may that live.
