VW Convertible
The VW Bug convertible is a great addition to the Bug line.
The open top gives a great view of the interior which is as basic as the real
car was.
This particular release was part of a basic series, as you
might have already guessed, the Easter series. Easter cars always feature fun
liveries in bright colors and usually feature some fun castings. The yellow paint job is bright, the purple
interior shows off the Easter spirit. The blue chrome 5 spoke wheels are an odd
addition but do tie the striping on the car back to the overall look. Maybe the
interior color is the odd color.
The convertible version also features the metal base, cast
in headlights and the basic body lines of the hard-top version. The body lines
are a little chunky looking on the convertible versions but they are not to far
off, so the casting overall looks great.
This version is a 2010 Easter eggclusive series release.
There was a yellow version and a baby blue version. The last release of the
Volkswagen Beetle convertible was 2014. Hopefully, it will make its way back
sometime soon. I really enjoy all the VW Beetle versions and look forward to
adding to my own collection.
Thank you,
