The third Silvia S13 Rocket Bunny, by Inno64
And that is 3. The Nissan Silvia S13 Rocket Bunny is wearing a nice yellow robe for its third appearance in the Inno64 mainline. I already had the chance to write about this casting (that you can find here) and I was pretty impatient to get my hand on the yellow version. It is based …

Hard Body by Tootsietoy – toy cars with full features
July 5, 2020 - by Doug Breithaupt When someone mentions Tootsietoy, most of us picture simple one-piece toy cars with basic wheels. In a previous story, I reviewed these basic cars beginning with the first small-scale die-cast car made by Tootsietoy in 1911. With the introduction of the Hard Body brand name in the late …

Lamley Daily: Tomica Limited Vintage Neo Nissan Fairlady 260Z 2by2
One of my favorites from TLV
Inno64 Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 “HKS” JTC 1992
HKS livery (famous Japanese tuning parts manufacturer), combined with a legendary car, a legendary name, a legendary championship (JTCC) and an ultra photogenic livery in green and black : it works !
Lamley Daily: Spark Petit 64 Nissan DeltaWing
The Nissan DeltaWing is such a unique car, I'm surprised that only Spark have risen to the occasion to model it in 1/64. But to be honest I can think of few companies more qualified to give it a shot, given the legendary quality of their 1/43 scale race cars.
That’s Mine’s!!
Gran Turismo kids and fan boys will understand. For others it will be a discovery, or just beautiful mini cars, or another white rims model, or just some more JDM s***. Mine's is a customizer based in Japan specialized in high end performance parts and tuning. They have a website, where you can see the …

The second Nissan Xterra from Matchbox is coming, but something is different.
If you have encountered the latest Matchbox on the pegs, you might have picked up a red Nissan Xterra. It's a triumphant return for the casting after taking several years off. Only one major aspect of the model is different. That rear door doesn't open. The original casting had an open door, this one, because …

Still not sick of the Nissan GT-R, part 243: The gunmetal grey Hot Wheels R35.
Brand after brand after brand continues to embrace the GT-R. Maybe one day I will be sick of them. I'm not yet. So here is another of MANY GT-R features on Lamley. And there will be a lot more. (HW Nissan GT-R on ebay) I have already sung the praises of Ryu Asada's take on …

It’s a double dose of JDM at Matchbox this year with the Nissan Junior Pickup joining the Datsun 510
And that is about all that these models have in common. That JDM tag can create a frenzy, and the upcoming Datsun 510 and Nissan Junior from Matchbox will definitely benefit. But remove that JDM tag, and these two could not be more different. The 510 we have already talked about, a model indicative of …
The brilliant orange of the Tomica Limited Vintage 2017 Nissan GT-R
I really don't care if there are too many GT-R's in 1:64. I have yet to get sick of them. I certainly don't collect all of them. In fact, I don't have very many. I have all the Hot Wheels releases, some Kyosho (not all), and all from Tomica Limited Vintage. There are a lot …
