This is somehow George Lucas’s fault.

This guy came from a Malaysian Gacha machine. Not a high class official Japanese one. Those cost RM10 to RM40.

This one was RM1 ($0.25). His quality is about what you’d expect at that size. Shampoo bottle plastic. But also for that price, expecting anything more would be kind of unfair.

He’s a generic Micromaster with the vehicle mode done to be this Hot Wheels car. It’s brilliant.

I am so happy that I have this guy in my collection.
