Blastous

Blastous is a concept race car done in the Torpedoes style. The Torpedo style was a new cartoon style introduced in 2005 and depicts a car in a skinny Torpedo-like shape with outboard wheels. These unique vehicles should perform well on track sets but the exposed wheels make them more susceptible to bending axles. Re-releases of several Torpedoes castings have been somewhat limited. The Blastous has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:
