1/36 Kia Soul Toy by Welly

If you are car models collectors, you would be familiar with with the Welly brand because you can find lots of Welly models at different scales such as 1/18, 1/24 and 1/36 scale models in the market, as usual, both the 1/18 and 1/24 scale models are suitable for collectors, and the price of these car models by Welly is cheaper than other brands such as Almost Real, Century Dragon and so on. The 1/36 scale car toys by Welly are suitable for the kids with simple playing functions.

In addition to the Kia Soul by Welly, there is only one Kia Pride model by Welly, and it is a 1/24  scale model for fans collection.

Let’s give a simple introduction about Kia Pride which was discontinued more than 10 years. The Kia Pride which was a subcompact car was manufactured by Kia from 1987 to 2000, and then discontinued for some years. In 2005, based on the Kia Rio, the new Pride was manufactured from 2005 to 2011 and sold in export markets.

In 2013, the 2nd generation Kia Soul with codename PS was released as the 2014 model year, different with the 1st generation Kia Soul, this Kia Soul was only manufactured in Korea and Russia, and exported to other countries. For example, the Kia Soul was discontinued in China due to the poor sales performance. However, in the North American market such as the U.S. and Canada, Kia Soul was one of the best-selling car, especially the 2nd generation Kia Soul.

In 2019, the 3rd generation Kia Soul with codename SK3 was released as the 2020 model year, and it was only manufactured in the South Korea. In 2021, Kia discontinued the Soul in South Korea due to poor sales. In 2023, the Kia Soul with new facelift, Kia Soul GT Line, was released.

If you are the Kia Soul car owners and want to buy the same Soul car toy for your children, there are two car toys highly recommended to you.

Kia Soul Car Toy By Welly in Creamy White

This first Kia Soul car toy is the item manufactured by Welly, which as you know is a famous Diecast cars brand located in Hong Kong, looking at its exterior, it is the replica car toy of the 1st generation Kia Soul. As for the functions, two car toys can be opened or closed as the real car, and pull-back function is available so that it is easy to play by little children.

Kia Soul Car Toy in Golden

The second Kia Soul toy car was also manufactured in China by an unknown brand, and it is also the miniature of 1st generation Kia Soul. Compared with the car toy by Welly, both working sound and flashing light functions are available on this car toy, it is more interesting. In addition, more color options such as silver, white, red, golden and blue are availble to meet different kids’ needs.

As for these two Kia Soul car toys, the price is affordable, however, both of them are 1st generation Kia Soul, if you are still looking for the 2nd generation and the 3rd generation Kia Soul car toys, it is a pity that there is no related item.

1/18 Kia Soul Car Model in Red

Looking at displayed picture, this exterior of this Kia Soul model is the 1st generation Soul, and in fact, it is the replica model of Kia Soul released in China in 2009 as the 2010 model year and it was manufactured by joint venture enterprise Yueda Kia.

In order to meet different collectors’ needs, three different colors including white, red and orange are available, and good news that you can still find all these three colors now even if it is an older diecast model manufactured about 13 years ago. Due to the poor sales of Kia Soul in China, the 2nd generation Kia Soul was not continued at here, that’s the reason no more 1/18 scale Kia Soul model was released for collectors.

As for the functions of this Kia Soul model, just like most 1/18 scale diecast models, there are lots of working parts such as four car doors, bonnet, trunk and car sunroof, in short, both the exterior and interior are in detail.

In addition to 1/18 scale Kia Soul model, you can also find some Kia Soul car toys for children as gift, however, all these Kia Soul toys and models are replica model of 1st generation Soul, we still can not find any 2nd and 3rd generation Kia Soul model until now, do you have such models in your collection?
