My Christmas box

[pendulum19]

I've always had the taste for cheap toy planes apart from my usual scale models. These little things just get me excited that I usually buy more than one.

My holiday shopping always took me to the toys section of the stores, and this year, I've bumped into some surprises:

1.) MOTORMAX C-47 - 4.75 inches of heavy metal glory!




2.) UN-NAMED DC-9's - the plastic just came with a card saying "Toys For Boys".
This is the DC-9, man! it's rare to find a DC-9 toy nowadays, so I got myself two, and went back the next day for another one (which I painted blue) hahaha






This one's about 5.5 inches.

3.) MADE IN CHINA 737-800. All metal. I like the way it looks as a toy.




This is like an oversized Schabak at 1:260.

4.) MADE IN CHINA 757. All metal, 1:300.


It's hard to find proper scale models in my hometown, and I usually get them from different cities I visit. But I'm happy to find toys that can be just as exciting.

Very nice airliners! No names - I see that! All metal, or metal/plastic? What was the packaging like? These could be New Ray or Real Toy from their Airport Play Sets - they usually are generic in their marks. ...and everything is made in China!
Kudos on the DC-9s...hard to find any these days...

Thanks!
The DC-9's have the top half of the fuselage in metal, while the rest is in plastic. I guess this is somewhat patterned from Real Toy in terms of make, but the quality and type of landing gear are not the same (compared with my Real Toy planes).

@Aeronaut: That's quite hard to share because I found these in an old department store in a small city in the southernmost island of the Philippines. my hometown.

At least now we know where you are and what to look for if we ever go to the Philippines....
