Yup it does sit a bit high but yup the shape is quite nice.

@@chirantonbaruah6015 well to be fair the only premium brand that has working suspension on a consistent basis is Tomica Limited Vintage Neo. Neither Mini GT nor Tarmac Works has it which is fine as it would drive the price up a bit. So Majorette still does pretty decent work considering how working suspension can visibly affect the ride height when the car isn’t at a premium level like TLVN.

Congrats on getting hold of this! It truly is a gem.

@@monterojustinedavel.5698 these are very old so the store where i bought them won’t carry them anymore. Surely you can find them online.

@@chirantonbaruah6015 I hope you guys get this, too. This Yaris is incredible!

Given that an engine bay is a rarity even in the ultra premium Tomica Limited Vintage Neo line, I wouldn’t hold my breath for them to put one in any of these Tomica Premium models.

@@michaelhoule7945 best of luck hunting! I got lucky with one of my local online sellers. I’m still on the lookout for the 911 GT3 RS Hot Wheels has released.

@@dier2tte I’m sure you’ll love it! It’s a really great piece!

@@dier2tte I did find it strange that this series isn’t numbered. There also isn’t a list on the back of the card of all the models in the series. I wonder why.

They sure did!

I definitely agree that Matchbox would have done a better job with this, but I was pleasantly surprised by this model just the same.

I agree, it's a real winner from Matchbox! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the kind words! This is just an iPhone 13. I shot during the daytime to ensure optimal lighting and made sure the room was well-lit. The phone did all the rest. :)

@@ArnavPouranik thanks for watching!

@ after seeing your video i pre ordered 2 tomica f40

It’s a much duller shade of green on the model, but it’s still green.

@@jimsmagnificentminiaturemo3235 thanks for your answer. The darker green on the box actually looks much better IMO. But yeah, the finished model looks great too. Should've got one too and hopefully I can still find one. Thanks .

@@kKtification I sure hope so. It wouldn’t kill them to put the sticker on the box to prove it.

@@Yourmission9 it truly is. I hope it gets the premium treatment at some point, but even if it doesn’t, it’s perfect!

@jimsmagnificentminiaturemo3235 I couldn’t agree more! That said it truly looks like a premium as is and I think that’s why it’s garnered so much attention. That said you throw some spectraflame on there with some real riders (which it would look like it has to the untrained eye) and I’d buy as many as I could✌️

@@asami_curations that seems to be the norm with Hobby Japan models.

Thank you! I wholeheartedly agree; if I wanted something static, I'd get a poster, or one of those metal Ferrari keychains they used to sell at Shell.

That's fine, and it's a great-looking model apart from the whole wheel-rolling issue.

@@jdcollection2694 I agree! Hope you find one too!

I agree! Thanks for watching!

@@spidersdiecast yup it’s a real beauty!

Yup, it’s really well done, and such an improvement from Tarmac Works’ last take on this car, the AMG GT-R!

I agree! Hot Wheels did a good job with this one!

@@user-zx6lf5so4w this car will surely be one of his all-time greats!

Fortunately, after the first time, mine has now been easy to open.

Sana magkaroon din ng blue. It feel like Corvette's signature color.

Meron ako nakita sa shopee mini gt corvette rapid blue. I hope available pa.

Mini GT's Hypercar/Prototype lineup is among their best work, IMHO. :)

@@chirantonbaruah6015 my exposure to endurance racing is mostly RUclips highlight videos and online articles. I wouldn’t have the patience to sit through a race that would run for six, twelve or 24 hours, but I definitely appreciate the beauty of these machines, especially the Ferrari and Porsche models.

I agree; silver, grey or even copper colored wheels would look great on this!

That sounds like a reasonable enough explanation, but it is a shame as it’s the only blemish on an otherwise perfect model.

I totally agree! Mini GT has an excellent track record when it comes to producing McLaren models and this continues their winning streak!

I agree; I know TLVN would have done an amazing job of it, though. Still, I’m quite happy with what they’ve pulled off here. This tooling has been around for a long time (like the real car) and it’s so satisfying to finally see it get proper tires!

I’ll grant that it’s harder to miniaturize size 13” wheels than size 18” wheels and that the wheel covers of the 2022 cars made replication easier but I still feel the wheels could have been done better. Just my opinion, of course.

@@spidersdiecast thanks! Hope you get one too! It’s a real gem!

@@jimsmagnificentminiaturemo3235 Thank you sir!

Good call!

I wouldn’t put it past them to make one even if they didn’t have a license, based on their apparently unlicensed 400R.

@@jimsmagnificentminiaturemo3235 Right

It truly is! I read a little article online about how this car came into existence, and it was gratifying to know how much care went into replicating such an iconic car accurately, even as a budget car. :)

I Just read it as well, it took a while to get it copyrighted, and the tooling and time it took to make it, totally amazing

That would be superb! I'm sure it's on their wishlist as well as it's easily the best known of the racing MC12 models. :)

@@Kei.W it truly is aggravating. Between the lack of a feedback mechanism and the brand loyalty of its customers I kind of doubt Tomica will get on top of these issues anytime soon.

Yup this is an especially well-done piece from HW!

@@chirantonbaruah6015 obrigado!

To be fair, I’ve never seen Hot Wheels do that. I know Majorette used to do it a lot, and Matchbox did it for the early version of the Mercedes G63 AMG, but I don’t recall Hot Wheels ever not putting an interior on any of their models, especially premium ones. But I do know that they have put these idiotic black plastic pieces as windows before.

@@jimsmagnificentminiaturemo3235 Odd because I own some Hot Wheels mainlines which have rather decent-looking and visible interiors. Makes no sense to black out the windows for a Premium just because it is metal-on-metal and rubber tires with higher tampo quality.

Just an update; I finally held this up to sunlight and I can confirm there is an interior with seats and a steering wheel. It really is silly how Hot Wheels fits their models with these super dark window pieces.

@@jimsmagnificentminiaturemo3235 Agreed, HW Premium should use slightly less dark windows, maybe of the level used by majority of the Tomica mainlines. I will say though, Tomica's soon-to-be-discontinued No. 91 Chevrolet Corvette (C8) uses very dark window pieces too. Hopefully the Mustang diecast which will replace the Corvette fixes that.

I agree. This just looks like it could frustrate everybody. Not a fan.

Not a fan either; I assume there's some quirky story behind it as there often is with these castings, but I like the rest of the piece enough to just overlook it. I like that Hot Wheels went the extra mile and lowered this car, like they did with the VW Corrado they released last year.

Hope you find one too!

Paint finishes are really challenging to maintain in places with high humidity, like here in SE Asia.

If you happen to find yourself in Metro Manila there are a few branches that still carry it.

Este modelo tiene llantas de goma.
