About the Ford Puma Melina Purple Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Ford Puma reproduces the 1996 compact coupe in Melina Purple over a sealed zinc alloy body. This is a used model, its box showing traces of storage, though the casting itself is unaffected. A rounded, friendly shape for a 1990s Ford display.
The Puma's charm was always its softness, curves rather than creases wrapped around a small footprint, and this model treats that gentle shape with genuine care.
Rounded Surfacing on a Sealed Diecast Shell
A one-piece zinc alloy body suits the Puma's bulbous wheel arches and rounded nose particularly well, since there are no hinge lines to disrupt the continuous curves that define the car. Minichamps holds the compact greenhouse and short tail as a single flowing form, and the Melina Purple paint, an unusual and now nostalgic colour choice, sits evenly across those curves without any panel-gap distraction. The model has a satisfying heft for its small size, and the headlamp shape, distinctive taillight cluster and modest alloy wheels are all reasonably crisp at 1:43. It is a subtle model that rewards a closer look rather than shouting for attention.
A Playful Coupe Built on Familiar Underpinnings
Ford built the Puma as an affordable, stylish coupe derived from mainstream small-car mechanics, proving that everyday underpinnings could still produce a genuinely likeable shape. It sits comfortably in a Modern Classics grouping, a lighthearted counterpoint to more serious 1990s performance coupes, and its rarity in period colours like this one adds a small extra note of interest.
A Used Example With Honest Wear on the Box
This is a used model rather than a fresh example, and the box carries traces of storage typical of a piece that has been part of a collection, expect handling marks on the carton, not on the casting inside. Grouped with other small European coupes of the decade, this Puma brings genuine period character without demanding hero-piece attention.
