CandyLab diecasts are available in six flavors, starting at $6
We are nearing the holidays, so if you haven’t yet viewed our 2018 gift guide we recommend that you check out at least one of our recommended toy makers: CandyLab. CandyLab does not make sugary sweets in some factory. The company instead handcrafts some the most unique wooden toys in the world. Its latest line of diecast cars is no exception.
CandyLab claims to have created the “world’s most unique wooden diecast” and offers six cool vehicles: Taxi Turvy (Red Racer #5), Blue Racer #8, Bubble Gum #8, Woodie, Woodie and Shewiff. Each car is made from a single block of beechwood and then hand-sculpted to fit underneath a Hot Wheels-sized, skateboard like alloy platform. Each car is individually boxed in anticipation of its new home after finishing touches such as a custom-engineered wood screws and metallic foil paint accents.
The company’s Kickstarter page states that they designed a “Wooden Diecast” car. “It sounds really simple but we banged our heads about for 2 years to be able to do this — make a cute, cartoonishly-proportioned wooden body with fun, splashy colors on a custom-designed diecast base. It’s easy to put together, so give it a cute name and sell it for single digits in the spirit matchbox cars.
You can get the “Surprise Me”, which is a pack that includes a mystery model, for as low as $6. You can pick your own model for $9 You can pledge as much as $216 and get eight models of each model. The cars will arrive before the holidays if you pledge any amount within the next few days.
