Muscle Machines Blog

we are thrilled that the MM can now be found in the market after an agonizingly long wait prior to finding a new home with maisto.

to be able to have product at retail 6 months after our deal was finalized is remarkable given some of the obstacles we had.

but the product is there, not without a couple of hiccups along the way.

the images are coming in faster than we can post them.

now in the gallery, 1:24 release 12.1 and 12.2 images from rohan day.

but because the gallery button is way up in the top of this page, we will save you a step and show them to you right here...

and following mr castro's post on 1:64 series 12.1, here we go with 1:24, series 12.1.

we are getting close, folks.

pretty soon we will be populating the where to buy tab, and you will be sharing your stories of where you bought your first maisto muscle machine.

hey now.

and by us, i of course mean the newly crowned miss muscle machines 2012, genevieve chanelle.
oh, and if you are interested in die-cast and r/c, we'll have some stuff there also.

after several years of sitting out the radio control expo rcx (http://www.rcx.com/), we have committed to attending the show and will be taking a small booth in the die-cast collector's expo, and although the booth will be small, we expect plenty of excitement.
We will have 1st looks at series 12.1 in all 3 scales, plus r/c. we will of course have the 1:6 willys on display, and it will be looking stellar..
we'll have some hand-outs, post-cards, etc. and, maybe even a drawing or 2 for some brand new MM t-shirts.
but the question on your mind, i know, is why oh why do you tease us with a picture of a gorgeous female in this post?

some of you might be wondering - how did Muscle Machines get here?
how did Maisto wind-up the owner/manufacturer/seller, of one of my favorite brands of die-cast?
here is the story, short (?) version:
for the last couple of years, Maisto has sent some designers to attend the diecastspace.com show in las vegas.
we put together some giveaways, create a poster, sign some autographs, and take in all of what vegas has to offer.

rcx (http://www.rcx.com/) is billed as the ultimate radio control expo, and is happening april 28-29 at the long beach convention center.
buried on the RCX website is a little blurb - "we have learned that Maisto/Muscle Machines is sending out a crew…"
to be honest, 3 weeks ago, it actually read  "we have learned that jada is sending out a crew…"
so either jada is no longer sending out a crew, or they don't have anymore room to add that we are not just sending out a crew, manning a booth, showcasing series 12.1, and unveiling Miss Muscle Machines 2012, or they are too overworked to re-write their die-cast section of the show.
either way, we will be there.

thanks for your patience and your amazing passion with this unique collectible.
we will share with you as much insight as possible as it relates to the creation and production of MM.
the site should be pretty simple to navigate, but for first-timers, this is what to expect:
