I hit the Dollar Tree again tonight, and they'd had a restock on their toy cars. I picked up four more:

Matchbox – Swamp Commander – link

This is a car/boat vehicle, with tires that theoretically rotate up into the hull. (In reality, the tires just stick out the sides of the hull, and there are tiny wheels under the hull so you can roll the vehicle on your carpet.) Open top, no figures. The seatback measures 12mm, so maybe this works for 25mm figures. Green metal top, blue plastic bottom.

Matchbox – Desert Thunder V16 – link

Four-wheeled truck, with some 'exploring gear' molded into a recessed top deck. 'Barbed wire' and 'Real Matchbox' artwork. Metalflake Maroon top, black plastic bottom, clear plastic windows. Side windows partially open. Door is about 10mm x 20mm – looks too big for 15mm, too skinny for 25mm figures?

Matchbox – Garbage Gulper – link

Yes, a garbage truck. Green metal top, white plastic bottom, black plastic windshield, arms and cargo area. Arms move, and have dumpster attached. Arms do not go all the way down. 'MBX Sanitation Services' artwork. Based on size of cab, I'm guessing driver would be 10mm.

Hot Wheels – Chill Mill – link

A hot-rod milk truck? Pearl Light Sky Blue metal body, Metalflake Green plastic bottom, transparent blue for milk bottles, chrome plastic engine, exhausts and back, transparent plastic windshield. Side windows are open. 'Chill Mill – Fresh Milk' artwork. Door is 14mm tall.

My Dollar Tree doesn't carry them.
