Last summer, Moe Moe and Teddy received their very first car, a white Babosi 700. As I understand it, it is modeled after a Mercedes-Benz AGM, which, admittedly, I know next to nothing about. I was aiming for any vehicle that really lit up, made sounds, and could fit these two bups. Above all, it had to be realistic. I didn't want a cheap plastic-looking toy that just sits around looking pretty.
Ultimately, I decided upon this one after little research, as I was strapped for time. I really, really wanted an American-made version, but that's not always possible anymore. Then I thought, well, in this instance and for our purposes, it didn't have to check every single box, as long as it was functional. I wanted a vehicle that had lights and sound, allowed doors and hoods to open, and allowed them to fit into it.
While I achieved the lights and sound aspect along with openable spaces, they did not quite fit into the driver or passenger seats, although they could fit easily into the trunk. This is when I learned a very important lesson about scale. As it turns out, this particular model was inaccurately described; instead of being a 1/18 scale, it turned out to be a 1/24 scale.
You see, the pictures online don't ever do these scale products justice. Although some manufacturers do attempt to display or at least reference how many inches height by width, etc. depending on where you are shopping, not even this information is correct at times. As it turns out, not even 1/18 scale is big enough, and I'll have to go to 1/12 for the next vehicle.
Nevertheless, the vehicle was a hit, and these two little bups seemed appreciative. As you can tell in the gif and photo above, not only are they as photogenic as all the bups are, but they are the epitome of cool and proudly so!
