Spec Cast - The #3 Farm Toy Producer




Spec Cast
Overall Rank
: #3
Types of agricultural products sold: 1/16 High detail models of JD, AGCO, and International Harvester. 1/16 Kinze 4wd. 1/64 32 Row JD Bauer Built Planter. 1/64 Dealership trucks.
Signature product: The John Deere Bauer Built DB90 planter. I really can’t emphasize this enough. This is the #1 implement made in 1/64th scale in both size and detail. If this review was based on 1 product from each company, Spec Cast would be #1 in a landslide.
Availability and pricing: Online dealers and toy shows.
Positives: Great detail, offers models Ertl doesn’t produce, Resin high detail models are priced very reasonably.
Negatives: Some models are resin and more prone to breaking. 1/64th models are priced out of some collectors range, but are probably reasonable for the level of detail.
My impression: Well this review isn’t based on just 1 product, so in my opinion Spec Cast’s line of toys is too inconsistent and small. Their models seem to be really sparse, and don’t follow a clear trend. This is from the point of view of a 1/64th collector. From the opinion of a 1/16 collector spec cast would probably be ranked ahead of die cast promotions.
