You know that I have already waxed enthusiastic over the Johnny Lightning line of VW models and it is still growing!

All these models may also be available with a variety of licensed graphics on them such as Marvel Comics and a variety of packing themes such as the inclusion of a miniature poster card, magazine cover, or classified ad, or for the Beetle, a miniature of a plastic model kit box. I think they did the chopped van in their “N” scale sized Monopoly Game series, too.

1/64^th scale
(really aprox. 1/55^th- 1’65^th)
10 different basic toolings!

• WWII Kubelwagen

• 1960’s Custom Chopped Top Van

• 1960’s Custom Chopped Top Van

• 1965-66 Factory stock bug available as showroom original in a variety of colors, wheels and graphics, a Police car, Taxi, Pizza Delivery, Muddied Rally Car, Surf car, Drag car, Custom car, “Herbie,” and Herbie with mud on it.

• 1965 Microbus with a variety of wheels, colors and graphics

• 1965 Single cab pickup in a variety of wheels, colors, and graphics

• 1963 Karmann Ghia coupe (new)

• 973 Thing with convertible top in up position

• 1973 topless Surf Thing

• 1994 Concept one

• 1998-up New Beetle in model year variations as well as color, wheel, and graphics variety

• New Microbus concept (new)

Will they go on to doing a split window and oval window bug, a Super Beetle, Type 3, a bubble window bus, a Vanagon, a New Beetle convertible, etc? I’m sure some of those will be eventually added, especially if one of them is featured in a movie. Johnny Lighting is big on licensed themes.

1/18^th scale
(the best detail of any of the large scale VW’s).

• Herbie the love Bug (Correctly, there are no VW emblems on it). They plan to come out with that 1/18^th scale model in other variations (with the VW emblem), too.
