Volvo XC Coupe by Double Horse Toys

8/5/2016

0 Comments

 
The Chinese toy manufacturer Double Horse Toys Industry Co. Ltd. (Donghu Industrial Park, Chenghai, Shantou, Guangdong, China) is offering a model of Volvo's XC Coupe Concept. This model is produced for the Chinese domestic market. The 1:32 scale Volvo XC Coupe is made out of diecast and is fitted with rubber tires. It is available in four different colors: white, light blue, yellow and red. Each model features opening side doors as well as an opening trunk and hood. And since it is a kids toy and not a collector item Double Horse Toys has added working lights and sound. This car model comes also with pull back function. It measures roughly 15cm long, 6cm width and 5cm high.
It is offered officially only in China. I do ignore if it will be offered anytime soon on the remaining countries. The prices I have found in China vary between 13.62 and 18.89 US $ for one model. There are also web-stores who offer a discounted set of all four colors for 45.93 US $ (11.48 / unit).

I have discovered two new Volvo XC90 scale models by NewRay. Both are 1:32 scale models. They aren't however listed on NewRay's website but I guess that these have already been released last year.

  • Volvo XC90 with boat and trailer
The silver gray Volvo XC90 has a black interior and comes in a set with a plain light gray Zodiac on a flat black twin-axle trailer. The set is offered under the NewRay label 'City Cruiser collection'. The item number is 54945. I'm still searching for a picture of this set.

  • Volvo XC90 R/C
This is a R/C model which consist of a diecast body. The set includes surprisingly also all the necessary parts to transform the R/C model into a state model. The model is available in gray metallic. It costs around 25 €.
The R/C model has the following functions :
  • the model runs forward and reverse and it is turning right and left
  • with realistic working brake and engine sounds
  • no batteries are included in the car
  • batteries are already included in the remote control
  • the model can easily be transformed from an R/C to a state model
  • the tools are included to realize the transformation
