#547 MICRO MACHINES - DRIVERS COLLECTIONS (1991)

I have already talked about several Micro Machines series, but there are still many more to be commented... Today I want to focus on the Drivers Collections.

It was a rather short subline in which every model came with a (not removable/detachable) miniature driver/pilot. Just as simple. Most models were actually cabrios or race cars, although there were also motorbikes and military collections. The figures are made is a softer gum plastic, so my guess is that they are simply glued to re-decorated old models.

There were 4 collections made in 1991, and other 4 collections in 1992, each of them with four miniatures (except “bonus” vehicles). Each “drivers” collections have a subtitle.

 

 “Hotfoot Collection #1” includes (left to right):

• March 707
• Corvette Cabrio
• `88 Camaro Cabrio
• Kurtis Kraft Racer

 

“Sunday Drivers Collection #2” includes (from left to right):

• RX-7 (Mazda)
  
• Toyota Land Cruiser
  
• Porsche 356 Speedster
  
• ´57 Chevy Convertible

 “Riders Collection #3” includes (from left to right):

• BMW K1000
  
• Kawasaki
  
• Harley Electra Glide
  
• Ducati 900
  

Maybe not the most imaginative sub-series, but most vehicles look really nicer with drivers on top! Motorbikes especially.
