Pop Race

SKYLINE C210 KAIDO RACER (BOSOZOKU STYLE) When Pop Race debuted the Datsun C210 Skyline as a limited edition collaboration with BAPE, most collectors throught they'd never get to see the model. But Pop Race believes that every collector should have access.

So they decided to release the model in matte black and white... and also include a chase version (a reversed white and black model) to make it more exciting. Based on an actual existing Bosozoku-style Kaido Racer, the car is a perfect recreation of that model.

Mitsubishi Fuso Super Great Great things are ahead of us collectors that really really love haulers and car carriers and want them to be real world models. And Tarmac Works drops this amazing cab/trailer combo (which we are sure will have more iterations and liveries in the future) featuring winged doors and holds more than one car. The cab tilts to show the internals. Can't wait to take a closer look at this upon release.

An all new car designed by the wizards of Mercedes AMG F1 to conform to new FIA regulations and utilizing hybrid technology. This is the car driven in the Sao Paulo GP which enabled them to a 1-2 victory. F1 model lovers get ready!

Considered one of the best Formula 1 cars ever made, the W11 enabled the team to win its 7th consecutive championships beating the previously held record by none other than Ferrari. This car was piloted by Lewis Hamilton.

Pagani Huayra BC Prototype 00, this special dedication to Benny Caiola (hence the BC), Pagani's first customer, is bathed in crystal white and black carbon.

Primarily perceived as road car, this model is sure to be a great addition.

One of the first RWBs in the United States, this model was made for the founder of a clothing brand. Finished in grey and with matte gold wheels, and black deco, this car perfectly adds to any RWB model collection.

AMG Team GruppeM Racing team saw action in the 2022 leg of the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup and the Intercontinental GT Challenge. The team consisted of two German and one Swiss driver. The car finished 4th overall in the Pro Category.

Fielded by the Singha Motorsport team at the 2016 edition of the races, the car was driven by a duo of Thai Drivers and well as the Dutchman Carlo Van Dam. They finished a very respectable 4th place

The lovely Land Rover gets its adventure off with the new Trophy Edition, paying dues to the legendary predecessors that saw action from desert to rain-forest.

The yellow and black combos is truly distinctive and we can't wait.

Mercedes-AMG GT3 GT World Challenge Asia E-sports 2023 Dillan Tan, Andika Rama Maulana #T64-062-LOR

The Porsche 935s were the strongest contenders in this race, finishing a historic 1-2-3-4 win for the model. The Porsche-Kremer not only came first, but was also the first rearengined car to win the iconic race.

OFFICIAL COLLABORATION WITH IXO

These track-focused Porsches give their owners the ultimate race cars, be it for the weekend warriors or the season teams running on world famous events. Its engine pushes the cars to 0-100km in a blistering 3.2s and its lightweight materials make it fly at low altitudes. These models make a nice addition to the growing range of Tarmac Works x Minichamps models.

OFFICIAL COLLABORATION WITH MINICHAMPS BOTH MODELS ARE LIMITED TO 999PCS

The GR Yaris gets a size upgrade to match its 1:64 counterpart. The 1:43 model shows more detail and is a perfect addition to the mid-size range that Tarmac Works seems to be doing quite well with many collectors asking for larger scale (but not too big) so more details can be seen

MINIGT 1:64 #694

Mercedes Benz EQS 580 4MATIC Black The MINIGT Mercedes-Benz collection keeps growing and we welcome another addition to the model line up with the luxury electric sedan, the EQS 580. This sleek glossy black modern machine is an ode to the fact that electric vehicles don't have to look ugly. The silver accents perfectly match the black paintwork. We look forward to this and more additions to the line up.

MINIGT 1:64 #590

Land Rover Defender 110 1985 Country Station Wagon - Trident Green

The more spacious, and dependable Land Rover Defender 110 is presented in the model that felt at home in the English countryside.

But it feels better suited to taking on the sand dunes of the local beach. Bathed in Trident Green, this model looks stunning in the early morning. MINIGT 'Landys' are quite collectible.

AutoWorld

1937 Lincoln Zephyr This is the V-12 Coupe variant with the other being a 4-door sedan. One of the very first streamlined models to hit the market (after the Chrysler Airflow), the car not only looked good but performed beautifully.

AutoWorld presents the model in hi-gloss black with signature white-walled tires. Opening doors enables one to gaze at the detailed interior features and of course the front and rear opening provide glimpses to the detailed engine and spare wheel in the boot. If you are a collector of classic Americana, this pre-WWII model is a great addition to your miniature garage.

Johnny Lightning Street Freaks

2023 Release 2 Version A We think that when it comes to a totally varied set release, nothing beat JL's Street Freaks collections.

The 6-set features some of the most weirdest cars together we have ever experienced. A 1967 Cadillac Eldorado Zingers! coupled with a Ed Roth penned Rat Fink 1965 Chevy Tow Truck whose blister card features some amazing art. That's not all, it has a pretty awesome Toyota FJ Cruiser, flamedout Chevy Nomad and a scrappy '89 Honda CRX lemon.

Majorette Deluxe

Land Rover Defender 110 While more detailed models exist, you cannot deny that the Majorette model from their 2024 Deluxe Assortment is anything but basic. One of the more properly done models out there, without an ungainly rivet column to take away the clean interior, opening doors and a tow hook to connect as many variants has you want. One of the best Land Rovers released so far.

Jada Toys Hollywood Rides

Mikey & 1971 Nissan Skyline GT-R Jada Toys foray into connecting cars and anime continues with this release of Mikey (Manjiro Sano) from Tokyo Revengers with a blacked-out and tricked-out 3rd Gen Skyline (Hakosuka). Decorated in silver stripes and gold Japanese characters, this is one sweet model that is great for both car collectors and anime fans.

GT Spirit

S-Klub Mercedes Benz Gullwing Know for modifying primarily Mercedes cars to the other realm, S-Klub has turned their skills on racing the iconic 1955 Gullwing to the 20th century.

Each is unique and this doesn't get any "uniquer' than this. GT Spirit releases the first iteration of the model in slate gray and blue leather interior and it has the matching luggage in the back.

Details are fantastic as usual.

Solido

Nissan GT-R (R35) LB Works Silhouette Green Solido's restarted 1:43 scale is in full steam ahead mode and they are releasing a multitude of models to those that want detailed models but a little large so they can be enjoyed more.

Otto Mobile

Toyota Land Cruiser Turbo (LJ73) The medium chassis Land Cruiser was a two-door 4-seater off road wunderkind. Powered by a proper turbocharged engine, these diesels was more at home on rugged off-road locales than mild on-road adventures. Ottomobile delivers this sweet ride in the two-tone Dark Metallic Grey combined with a white roof and rear window panel combo. As with their always on point styling, the model retains all the classic badging and stickering.
