    Looks like the prototype couldn't fit a windshield because of the steering wheel

    I agree with Azrak. This looks like car designed for a 3 3/4 inch figure.
    It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

    Yeah, it looks matchbox size to me.

    That would have been cool to chase the general lee.Looks like a 3-3/4 version.

    Looks can be deceiving but I've gone ahead and asked for further clarification in the meantime.

    One of the things I've learned from talking to Vinnie was that the Comic Action Heroes formula was something they were thinking of expanding into all their licenses, so it's entirely possible this car was meant for that.

    The possibility occurred to me because I have a vague memory of having wheels like that on a smaller car when I was a kid. It seems odd that they would tool 8" scale wheels like that, and then not use them. I've never seen wheels like that for 8" scale, and I used to be pretty heavy into vehicles. It does have a 3 3/4 vibe to it, but like you said without something for comparison it's hard to say.

    Just got confirmation from Vinny, this is an early prototype for the 8" dolls.
