Editor's Summary
I'm a total sucker for collectible model cars, and the Robocar Poli series from Silverlit is a real winner in my book. These 6 cm model cars are packed with intricate details that'll transport your little ones to the world of Robocar Poli. I've picked up a few of these as gifts for my kiddos, and they're always stoked to get them. The quality is top-notch, with sturdy build and smooth operation that's perfect for little hands. The only downside is the price - each model averages around 400 rubles, which is a bit steep for my budget. Still, if you're a die-hard Robocar Poli fan, these collectibles are worth every penny.
Specifications
If your kid is obsessed with the Robocar Poli cartoon, chances are they'll be totally stoked to get these collectible model cars from Silverlit as a gift.
I've already raved about the Skulbee bus case for storing these model cars, which holds 14 cars from this series, and now I want to share my thoughts on the actual heroes from the cartoon.
The bus contains model cars from the series, each 6 cm in size. Silverlit has another collection of heroes from this cartoon - larger, plastic cars with gyroscopes.
So, let's talk about our models.
We've got 10 of them - I usually buy them as gifts or when I spot a discount.
The cars aren't cheap, with each model averaging around 400 rubles.
Incidentally, the models aren't all 6 cm in size - some are smaller and slightly larger! The cars are non-inertial, made from plastic and metal, and are incredibly sturdy and well-made.
Posti
The postal van, smaller than the main characters.
What sets Posti apart is that it has three wheels.
Klinni
The street sweeper car. The brushes don't spin, and it's mostly made from metal.
It's quite heavy.
Marc
The construction vehicle, slightly larger than Klinni.
It doesn't have any moving parts.
Halli
The helicopter, one of the main characters. The rotor blades spin.
Ember
The ambulance, a rare female character. She's really cute. We got her first, so she's taken a bit of a beating - the kid accidentally zapped her with a microwave for 2-3 seconds, and her wheels got a bit melted.
Rodi
The kid's car. In the cartoon, it's an electric vehicle.
Roy
This one's a fan favorite around here - it's just so colorful and fun.
It's pretty big, even compared to the smaller figures - it's got a sweet yellow element on the back that spins around.
Spuki
Another biggie, this one's like a tow truck - the hook moves up and down.
Dampo
This one's a dump truck - it's got a movable bed, just like you'd expect.
Pok
This one's an excavator - the bucket moves around.
Each of these little guys is built the same way: non-rotating wheels, a metal base, and the rest is plastic. You can tell they're made of metal just by picking them up.
Each one's got its own serial number - proof that it's the real deal. Plus, the packaging's got a holographic sticker (we didn't keep the box, though).
We've got a pretty sweet collection going on here - the kid loves getting these as gifts. The quality's top-notch, and they'll last a long time. Nothing happens to them during play - they're just like new.
Of course, the case doesn't hold the whole collection, but once it's full, we're good. We won't be continuing to collect these - it's getting too pricey.
At an average price of 400 rubles per figure, the whole collection comes out to around 5600 rubles, plus the case is about 1500 rubles. That's a pretty penny. We've been collecting these for exactly a year, since we got the case as a gift last New Year's.
I'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a fun and high-quality collectible toy. The value for money is great, and the build quality is top-notch.
Thanks for stopping by!
