Kingstar
Brand
This firm was recognized to have produced less than a dozen 1:64 scale size vehicles representative of Japan, Germany and the United States. Some were free-wheeling while others featured pullback motors and hinged doors. Each miniature in the series is a fairly good representation of an actual vehicle and was fitted with attractive speed type wheels and plastic base plates. Commercial trucks were based on an Isuzu cab with various loads. It appears this firm was heavily inspired by the two most popular brands. The "King Star Mini Car" blister card was very similar to the early 1980s Mattel Hot Wheels card. The red swirl had "Collect them all" in white lettering inside it. The picture box design was a Matchbox Superfast knock-off.
1:43 scale cars were also made and sold in US under the MINITECH brand.
