If you're debating whether to buy something or not, I learned that the answer is usually no...
If you feel like you absolutely must have it, or if it's something you'll regret missing out on, then I've heard it's best to buy it.
After a long time, I bought a die-cast model, or you could say a mini car.
The 1/38 Hongwell Hyundai Ioniq 5N die-cast mini car caught my eye. Initially, I hesitated to buy it, thinking it wasn't worth the money, but after it sold out, I regretted not purchasing it...
I kept checking various websites, hoping for a restock...
I found out about the restock while waiting at a red light on my way home,
and I quickly made the purchase while waiting for the signal to change...
Anyway, since the price was reasonable, I bought two. However, I wish they had released additional colors besides Performance Blue.
I briefly looked up Hongwell, the brand, and found that they previously released a 1/38 Hyundai Avante N mini car.
When I evaluate it objectively, the details and various finishing touches aren't exceptionally neat, but considering the price range, they produce many cost-effective products.
Above all, I'm grateful that they create mini cars of the N brand lineup, which has a strong following in Korea.
Personally, the Ioniq 5N is my dream car, which adds to its collectability.
The signature color of the N brand, Performance Blue, is well represented, although the gloss could be improved.
The lower red points, Hyundai emblem printing, and alloy wheel details received careful attention.
The Ioniq 5N features a voluminous fender line that is well-defined, but the wheel offset leaves something to be desired, which suggests it still falls under the toy category.
However, considering that it is a toy priced around 10,000 won (approximately $7.50 USD), this issue is quite understandable.
As a child, I used to analyze every detail to determine what was good or bad, but now, just being able to collect a domestic car model at this price brings me simple joy.
That said, pointing out the details and quality isn't a problem...
Considering the price range, the 1/38 Hongwell Hyundai Ioniq 5N die-cast mini car is quite impressive.
The only downside is that it would have been nice if they had offered more color variations to entice collectors to open their wallets...
At first, the Ioniq 5's futuristic image reminded me of Robocop, which felt unfamiliar,
When the Ioniq 5N launched, I thought, "Isn't the price quite high for a high-performance electric vehicle?" and viewed it negatively.
However, now I see it as a fun car to enjoy without worrying about maintenance costs.
I often find myself wanting to discuss the actual car when talking about die-cast models...
Honestly, there isn't much to say about die-cast or mini cars... it's just how it is.;
Instead, I think it's better to simply showcase a variety of photos.
I will try to take the most beautiful photos possible...
The 1/38 Hongwell Hyundai Ioniq 5N die-cast mini car is worth purchasing and collecting, just like the previous Avante N model.
This concludes today's post. Thank you! :)
