Featured Car: Tomica Limited 0048 Mini Cooper


This is the 2nd variant colour of the Tomica Limited Mini Cooper. Remember, I have featured the yellow colour in the September post.


The blue Mini Cooper in the far end is from the regular series, I have a post related to Tomica investment posted somewhere in the November.


The red Mini although it came from same Limited series with yellow version, the red one is simply nicer with the white top and stripes.

You put it side by side with the regular series, the Limited has more details made to its lights, air-con vents and water mister.

The side mirrors are just not plain white, but with "mirror" inside, the side turn signers and door handles are equally taken care-off.


Despite the Mini was built on 1/57 scale, you can still feel it "small" when you contrast with others Tomica are generally in the smaller range from 1/59 to 1/64.


I Like:
- Is my favorite Mini Cooper.

I Dislike:
- Missing British Flag on top.

Tomica New Models Preview


More pictures on the upcoming Tomica models has unveiled in the Internet, and this Nissan GT-R is the most anticipated model for regular line-up.


We have seen the GT-R in Limited series, but from these pictures, the regular model almost near Limited quality.

Except the wheels did not came with rubber tyres, both front and back has the glass lights and painted.

From pictures, this regular GT-R is absolutely fantastic, but for many of us still need to wait until actual launching on 17th Jan 2009.

As usual, my details review will be made available one month from the date, this is where Malaysia distributor received their goods.


The other new model for December this year, New Nissan Cube. Not like the usual practice, Takaratomy only unveiled the model picture one month before the launch date.


However, before the announcement, few pictures already circulated in the net, but the picture below is the most completed line-up I ever seen. Other than the colour above, there are many more colour in the selection.


Thanks to the Tomica Fan Club member Sagataro who shared these pictures with us. More pictures are available in the Club if you interested to know more.

Some photos are available for member only, but signing-up process is simple and free.

Featured Car: #14, Komatsu Anti-Personnel Landmine Demining Equipment D85MS


This White colour bulldozer was released together with the Noodles Truck in September, some background of the as below.

The D85MS was release as commemoration of the joint efforts between Kotmatsu and Japan Mine Action Service (JMAS), a nonprofit organization of Japan on agreement to jointly demine anti-personnel landmines in the contaminated regions and reconstruct local communities after demining.

The first full-scale community reconstruction project which spans from landmine removal to community redevelopment has embarked in Battambang District, Cambodia in July this year.

Scheduled for completion by the end of March 2009, this project calls for demining areas for a total of 37 hecters, repair of roads, construction of reservoirs and channels, and repair of a school building.

The demining machine is operate remotely, the operator controls it behind protective shield over the wireless controller.

The machine capable of clearing some 500 square meters an hour, rotates rollers with spikes attached (rotary cutters) to crush and explode anti-personnel landmines in the ground.

I Like:
-Realistic and heavy feel.
-Moveable rubber wheels chain and rotary spike cutter.
-1st casting for the model, worth collecting.

I Dislike:
-Minor stains on my unit, not sure is that due to QC?

The base shows the model is 2008 1st casting.

Featured Collection: Police Station, Tomica Town


Together with the Gas Station set (see the Eneos Gas Station post) from Ah Beng, this is the other set from him, Tomica Town Police Station, purchased from Litt Tak Hobby Shop at RM39.90. Despite slower market coming, I think he is still a power hauler.

Due to don't have a patrol or police model during the photo shooting, I temporary using the Skyline safety display on my desk. Or maybe you can treat the policeman works as part time safety car driver during his off-duty day, drift and catch thief on the race circuit. ☺YeoCP//
