Kyosho is getting started for yet an other great year and the step one is to release a catalogue for 2023 with hot new cars and SUVs. For 1:18 diecast model collectors, they have a brand new Morris Mini-Minor MKI 1959, Lancia Delta HF 4WD and for those speed freaks Subaru Impreza 1994. I was particular interested in this Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Van, which looks coolest of them all. We got the Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pickup version last year and it was a nice SUV but this van version with full body work looks cooler.
This Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Van is a cool looking SUV, which can go anywhere, do anything and make you look cool doing that. This is a bit smaller than the pickup version that we got earlier and we assume there will be some parts sharing between these two SUVs and that’s a good news as the pickup version is already a great diecast model with Kyosho badge engraved on it.
As the development of this Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Van is in its early stages, we don’t have any photos of the samples or prototype of this model. Because we don’t have any photos, we added pics of the real car, which will serve as a reference point. We picked a cream shade Land Cruiser 40 Van but we don’t have no confirmation from Kyosho’s end… What color you want this cruiser 40 in? Do comment below.
The Toyota Land Cruiser 40 looks the best in rear 3/4 or profile, which shows off its cool looking cabin and sexy rear end. The same would be true for 1:18 scale model as well by Kyosho… I keep referring the pickup version of the Toyota Land Cruiser 40 as that would a great reference point specially for a upcoming diecast model.
The pickup version got that agricultural looks as it is the look that collector of such model will go for… But this Land Cruiser 40 Van will be focused on serious off-roader or collectors who prefer urban styling. So we in Diecast assume that this will get few bits that makes it more modern. And the one of them being a wheel covers, better optics and a spare wheels (sure of this) along with few other good bits.
At this moment, we have very limited information about this Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Van but updates on body color, details and feature lists etc. starts showing up as days pass by… We were hoping that’s would show up in Nuremberg International Toy Fair 2023 but it dint, so we will have to wait a bit more for preview and pickup… So stay tuned for future updates on this off-road legend. Till next time, Ciao.
