Is it made of plastic or is it diecast metal?

Plastic, quite durable. We have had it for over a year and the kids still love it. The smaller ones are less durable. My son peeled the wheels off of the tiny 2 1/2" ones. But this size is perfect. Not sure if any small parts can break off. It's the pull-back and go design. Unsure of the "paint" they use.

It's made of plastic and its about 3/4" X 1 3/4". I've previously had one that was made of aluminum, but I haven't been able to find another one.

It's plastic. I haven't used that feature, so I can't say whether or not it works well. Sorry.

Its plastic not metal. Not very well made as they say. I should have read all the answers.

It seems to be metal to me. Its heavy for its size and the paint does not chip easily as if sprayed on plastic. I try to keep with metal items more so than plastic. I'm still using my blender from 1969 with a metal body and glass container, not plastic. My mixer is a Hamilton Beach 1948 Model G, all metal again. Can't beat metal.

plastic, but you can build 2 complete models from it, your style and have a ton of parts left over. If you can watch the hangout this Sat. 6 to 8 pm Eastern time you will see many of that model that the Rejects Car Club did for a club project. I have 4 entered my self. Hope this helps

Pretty sure it's plastic but I no longer have the car so couldn't verify for sure.

It is made of plastic, but it's a very durable, thick plastic and I've had no problems with it at all.

It's plastic. It is very durable. I have one that is at least 10 years old and still kicking.

The one I received in October is plastic sandwiching plastic. However, it has been a good drive (at least the second one was), albeit expensive given the material.

Plastic with a chrome finish. It's a very nicely engineered and finished piece.

It is plastic. I wasn't expecting much out of it, but I've been pleasantly surprised.

It was plastic but when I traded my car it, Toyota looked at it and said it was fine. It looked good and fit well on the car.

It is a complete metal model with some plastic parts. Very nice for display or gaming.
