Die-cast toy

A die-cast toy is any toy produced by the process of die casting. The toys are made of metal with plastic, glass and rubber details. The most common die-cast toys are scale models of vehicles, aircraft and trains. Hot Wheels toys are an example of die-cast cars. Early die-cast toys were made of lead.[1] Modern toys are made of Zamak which is an alloy of zinc, aluminium, magnesium, and copper.[1]
