Jada Hollywood Nano vs Micro Machines

 2020 saw the release of numerous "micro" toys from a variety of vendors. Two of the big ones are Jada Hollywood Rides and Micro Machines. Today I am comparing three of each in terms of quality and price. All sets were purchased at Walmart. The Micro Machines were in 5 packs for $9.99 and the Jadas were in 3 packs for 6.99. That works out to $2 per MM and $2.33 per Jada.

First we have the MM "Light Vehicle" on the right and Jada's GI Joe Vamp MKII on the left. 


I already displayed side shots of each of these in an earlier post. 

Next is the Jada Cobra Hiss Tank on the left and the MM Sledge Tank on the right.


The guns on the Hiss Tank are a seperate casting and really stand out especially compared to the one cast guns on the MM tank.

Finally, we have the Jada Jokermobile on the left and the MM Rat Rod on the right.



The difference in detail is quite stark. The Jokermobile even has a tiny 3D Joker image painted on the front.

My observations: The Jada Rides are liscensed, mostly diecast, well built toys with lots of detail and separate castings. The MM's are plastic, and low on detail.

For an extra .33 cents a vehicle Jada Rides are the obvious winner, though I will continue to collect both as my addiction demands it!
