Ace Ventura

Vehicles from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995) are headed to the die-cast aisle.

Represented by Creative Licensing, Morgan Creek Productions licensed the Ace Ventura franchise to GreenLight Collectibles for vehicles in the 1:64 and 1:43 scales. Collectors can soon own vehicles inspired by the adventures of the greatest animal detective — including his beat-up 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (pictured top)

“Alrighty then! We are so excited to add these Jim Carrey classics,” says Cale Hotton, director of licensing and product development at GreenLight. “This new line is sure to be a hit with GreenLight collectors and Ace Ventura lovers.”

Additionally, following a year-long hiatus, GreenLight Collectibles have returned to Toys “R” Us Canada.
