Who’s ready for another awesome Matchbox Collectors release? This time, it’s a classic SUV that’s sure to get your collecting motor running: the 1979 Chevy Blazer! Mark your calendars for Thursday, 11/21 at 11 AM CST because that’s when this bad boy drops.

Mattel is really hyping this one up, and for good reason. They’re calling it a “rugged replica” of the second-generation K5 Blazer, and it’s easy to see why. This diecast captures the iconic boxy style and off-road spirit of the original. Plus, it’s decked out with some sweet features that make it a must-have for any serious collector.

Here’s what you can expect:

This Blazer comes in a slick dark sparkle gold finish that’ll shine on your shelf.
It’s a ZAMAC model, which is always a big plus in the diecast world.
The True Grip off-road tires with classic hubs and silver foil add an extra touch of realism.
Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without that classic half-cab and square body design.

A Blast from the Past

The ’70s were a wild time for SUVs, and the 1979 Chevy Blazer was right in the thick of it. This beast outsold its rivals and became a legend in its own time. It’s a symbol of American automotive history, and now you can own a piece of that history in 1:64 scale.

Collector’s Corner

Now, let’s talk about the important stuff: what’s this Blazer going to be worth down the road? Square body trucks and blazers tend to hold their value well. Add in the popularity of the Blazer and the cool features on this release, and I think we’ve got a winner. My guess is this one will be a hot commodity on the secondary market in a few years when it’s not so readily available.

Ready to Roll?
