Hummer and Chevy bullet clones by Bensu.
 
I was searching Toy East today and found these two clones Hummer and Chevy. I don't know much about them except that they are almost the same as the Sharper Image ones. They have a good price compared to the Sharper Image ones though.

Damn that Chevy's Dope! Check out the wheelbase on that badboy too... looks closer to a ZZ than a bit, or maybe it's a camera trick?!

edit: Ok I just check the H2... that's Definetly a longer chassis!

Canadian Bit 03-01-2003 10:56 AM

Yep, the chassis are longer, a lot longer. :rolleyes:

Stridex 03-01-2003 11:14 AM

Those are the Sharper Image ones. Only difference is the price. These are WAY cheaper. The best part about these cars is they're TRUE 1/64. They line up with most hotwheels/matchboxes. They're a tad longer then even the zaps. This is the best car for dual and triple batts! Everyone here should own the pair.

Canadian Bit 03-01-2003 11:32 AM

Hmmm, well in my search I also found the Hummer H2 in red.


EDIT: What I meant in the last post is that the only difference compared to the Sharper Image ones is the rims!

Pojo 03-01-2003 12:28 PM

Mmmmm......I gotta get me one of those Hummers!! I'll make some sweet bodies for it or something...:D

kwikbb 03-01-2003 12:48 PM

The hummer needs a full-size wheel mod for sure... it'll look more balanced.

Canadian Bit 03-01-2003 01:11 PM

Yeah, it does need a full-size wheel mod.

Hatchet_Dan 03-01-2003 01:23 PM

that H2 dont look half bad... i wonder if any one has yet took a real h2 and lowered it and put nice rims on it

denden 03-01-2003 03:04 PM

I'm ordering mine ASAP !!

Cool!

Stridex 03-01-2003 03:42 PM

Unless Bensu has upgraded these, you'll need to add another batt to have any fun with them. The Sharper Image ones are very slow and boring. Great thing is you have PLENTY of room for more batts. The H2 has great detail. The SSR is rather plain. It needs some custom paint work, IMO.

I just noticed the rims. They are different. The ones I have, came with grey rims.

Canadian Bit 03-01-2003 04:34 PM

That's what I meant about the rims.

Hatchet_Dan 03-01-2003 05:23 PM

no i meaqn lowered with some daytons

sessiz10 03-01-2003 05:50 PM

Nice find. I really don't like the hummer all that much but the chevy is a must.;)

The wheels look full size to me.

Stridex 03-01-2003 05:59 PM

The red one looks a lot better then the yellow. Thanks for the pic Sessiz.

sessiz10 03-01-2003 06:03 PM

I bought the desert storm 40mhz for the freq. and of course the chevy. I can't get enough 3.8s so i ordered 3 more of those and 3 more 160mah bats. All this plus shipping for $50.

crazydave 03-01-2003 09:14 PM

The Sharper Image ones look nicer to me, but 40 bones, what are they smokin'?

The Chevy is a little different, besides the the rims, the rear view mirror is different.

Love that Chevy, but I'm not a real big fan of Hummers.

Here are the ones from Sharper Image

**Just realized it's 40 for the pair, that's better, but still a tad pricey for a couple Bensu clones.

sessiz10 03-01-2003 09:20 PM

They look like the same cars to me.

New_B 03-01-2003 09:26 PM

Question, what does IMO stand for? I'm very bad with acronyms... :(

sessiz10 03-01-2003 09:28 PM

In My Opinion

You know what.... You're right. From the side view the hummer looks like it has a larger rear wheel.
Oh well fullsize wheel mod it is then.;)

Yeah, but I wish you were right... It'd save the trouble of having to do the mod lol.

Look again, the rear view mirror is clearly in a different spot. Which says to me they came from 2 different molds.

I noticed that. I wonder if their was some photo manipulation going on or like you say 2 differant molds. Anyone who has the sharper image cars can chime in here on the rearview. It really doesn't matter to me all that much seeing as toyeast is selling these for nearly half the price.

Stridex 03-02-2003 12:37 PM

I've got the Sharper Image SSR and the review mirror is up top. It's identical to the ToyEast pic. The yellow Hummer is a tad more yellow then my Sharper Image one though.

crazydave 03-02-2003 12:52 PM

Maybe the picture is of a proto-type then?

What are the rims on the actual Sharper Image car like? 'Cause I dig those rims.

Stridex 03-02-2003 01:02 PM

They look just like the ones in the picture, except they're flat grey. I have a thread with pics of them in my first post. It was titled - My Custom Show Car. I'll see if I can find it.
