Fortunately, there are brands like this Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 from Maisto who make amazingly detailed cars with a very sturdy build. The doors, trunk and hood can all open and everything underneath is beautifully finished.
Fortunately, there are more good brands and in this guide I look at the best Ford Mustang toys and what you should pay attention to when purchasing.
Let's take a quick look at the top options. Then I'll go into more detail about each of these choices.

Ford Mustang toy car buying guide
What should you pay attention to when buying a Ford Mustang? toys cars?
Sustainability
There are quite a few differences in quality toys car brands. Just look at the difference between Maisto and Jada Toys or Hot Wheels, you can clearly feel the quality.
In any case, almost nothing can go wrong with a complete diecast car. That is what I paid extra attention to when assessing the durability of the cars.
Quality of driving
At toys You want cars to drive well. Some may be for display only, not for play. But you still want them to roll well.
A few things to watch out for are:
- the distance from the wheels to the chassis: some toy cars run into problems so they don't drive very well
- the rigidity of the shaft: some toy cars are very wobbly so the wheels can move far in and out, and still rub
- the quality of the wheels: is it plastic or are there really rubber wheels on the tires? Rubber rolls a lot better
- the weight of the car: you may not realize this right away, but the weight of the car plays a very large role in how well it rolls. A heavier car made of diecast or wood rolls a lot better and further than a plastic car
Replayability
Much of the car's replayability is in how well it drives, but there are other factors that determine how often they return to it.
Age also plays a part. Is it a car that stays on the left after toddlerhood or can it last longer because it is also suitable for older children?
The number of extra functions also plays a role, such as the RC from Traxxas or the Lego bricks with the Ford Mustang.
I rated each of the cars on this list on these parts on a 5-point scale.
Best Ford Mustang toy cars reviewed
Maisto 1:18 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
- Great detail for the price
- Everything can open
- Pricey for a toy car, cheap for a model car
A great detail and all doors and trunk and hood can be opened. You rarely see them for this price.
It is a die-cast car in 1:18 scale. It drives well but could be a bit firmer. Especially if you like him toys want to use.
It's more one model car for display then one toys car, although many people give it to toddlers to play with. In terms of price and detail, it is also somewhere between the two.
LEGO Creator Expert Ford Mustang 10265
- Very very large building set
- Huge amount of detail in the interior and engine
- Very pricey
- Harder to play with
Although these Lego Creator sets are aimed at adults, teenagers can of course also play with them. With 1471 pieces, it is quite a construction kit that will keep you busy for a while.
The nice thing about Lego is that you can combine it endlessly. This way you can pimp your Ford Mustang with different types of Lego pieces. The possibilities are endless.
Lego has also responded to this by making some adjustments such as the supercharger, ducktail rear spoiler, sturdy exhaust pipes, and nitrous oxide tank.
Make it a post-apocalyptic car with a laser turret, or just give it a wider bumper.
It is a real Ford Mustang GT from the 60s and the doors of the car really open. The trunk and hood can also be opened.
It is also quite large at 10 cm (3″) high, 34 cm (13″) long and 14 cm (5″) wide. He is very expensive though. Part of it is in the amount of Lego pieces, but also partly in the fact that it is an official Ford Mustang.
Playing with it is a bit more difficult than with other cars because you don't want pieces falling off, although it is very solidly built. The pieces on the outside keep the whole thing together very well.
Greenlight 1967 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 “Eleanor” “Gone in Sixty Seconds 86411
- Sturdy die-cast car
- Perfect for movie fans
- Nothing can open
Some are wildly enthusiastic about it and others think it's ok. It's the Eleanor Shelby Mustang from Gone in 60 Seconds.
The outside looks nice, but nothing opens. Not even the doors. That is a bit of a shame for such a die-cast car.
This is also mainly intended as a collectable, but is often used as a toys. It drives well and because nothing can open, it is super sturdy. Actually completely die-cast.

Jada Toys Bigtime Muscle 1:24 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

- Sturdy car for a good price
- Interior detail is a bit disappointing
This Jada Toys Ford Mustang has a different approach than that of Greenlight.
Everything can be opened here, from hood to tailgate and it is a sturdy car to be played with.
It's the 500 Shelby GT2020, a true American muscle car in a 1:24 scale. Nice detail are the real rubber tires.
The cheapest on this list but definitely one for display or to play with.

Traxxas is a great brand in the hobby-grade RC world and this Ford Mustang is also beautiful to look at.
