M2 Machines Coca-Cola Fanta 1956 Ford F-100 Truck Custom

A 1:64 scale die-cast model of a 1956 Ford F-100 Truck Custom produced by M2 Machines as part of a Coca-Cola licensed series, specifically branded with Fanta Grape decals. The miniature vehicle features a matte purple finish consistent with the Fanta Grape aesthetic, accented by custom side door graphics depicting a monster hand reaching for the logo. Notable construction details include a die-cast metal body, rubber tires with matte black rims, and a detailed engine bay visible through the open-hinged hood. The model sits on an integrated black pedestal base with a metal nameplate identifying it as '1956 Ford F-100 Truck Custom' with the release code 'A63'. The packaging is a distinct 'blister card' style with a purple and white slime-themed graphic background, featuring skull and bat illustrations suggestive of a Halloween or custom monster-style release. The item appears to be in its original factory-sealed condition (MOC - Mint on Card). The cardboard card shows minimal edge wear, and the plastic blister remains clear and free of significant crushing or yellowing, preserving the collectible's value. This series is characterized by high-detail craftsmanship, including individual bumper and grill components rather than a single molded piece, reflecting a higher tier of modern die-cast manufacturing typical of M2 Machines' limited-run hobby releases.
