Ack Attack Post 30: Acura Toys

There are not many Acura toys out there. The movie "The Fast and The Furious" brought about the re-creation of a new toy Integra, but other than that, theRSX and NSX are the only toys on the market. These toys range from small hot wheels types to larger remote control numbers. Some are diecast, others can be modded out by the consumer. Many are really nice and are well painted and are very expensive, while others are cheap and oorly made. Different toy makers have been able to make Acuras available to any type of consumer, from the small child to the collector. Children would not care about the specifics of the cars, so their toys are usually smaller and cheaper. A tuner wants the car to look like theirs or like a car they saw in the movies, so they would want a remote control or a car with tuner stickers and modifications waiting to be done. The collector wants the diecast model, made precisely to scale and looking exactly like the real thing. Acura seems to have their consumer bases covered and have left no one without a toy.
