Hyper detailed classic Toyota Carina from Tomica

Received this Tomica Limited Vintage Neo courtesy of Aswad Chowdhury. This is my first Neo after a very long time having given away my earlier stash ages ago. What's special about this? There's regular, base Tomica that comes with those strangely thin button wheels or deep dish small diameter rims. Then the Limited editions are those very cars with additional detailing, accurate wheels with rubber tyres but with the same crappy interior.

Since 2004 the Tomica Limited Vintage Tomytec series focuses on cars from 1950s and 1960s Japanese cars. Tons of details mean these are mainly aimed at the collector market. Finally, Limited Vintage Neo is a step above that with a perfectly reproduced interior and an exterior detailing accurate to the last emblem, even if you can't really read those tiny emblems. We checked with a magnifying glass. It's all there with proper scripting. If you are in love with 1:64 classic JDM models, this is where it's at.

Limited Vintage - Neo [TLV-N] was started in 2006 to model 70's and 80's cars. I love it how this scale model reproduces that perfect 70's interior. Remember how old cars had a door pad that started 3-4 inches below the body color metal of the door frame? Well, this scale model also has that with a thin blue line dividing the bottom of the window line and the top of the inner door pad.
