Tomica Limited TL0147 Mazda RX-8

This is 2nd release on Tomica Limited main line, as it had release also at Tomica Limited Mazda Box set too. Besides, this is 4th color of Tomica Limited too.

This time is white color Mazda RX-8 with carbon fiber bonnet, red sport seat and transparence back light.

If you miss the 1st 3 colors, this is a must to get as this is JDM famous rotatory engine sportcar.

Hotwheels Mazda RX-7 Custom L.E.

This dark Hotwheels Mazda RX-7 (Savanna) quite nice with racing tempo.

I decided to change the plastic rims to Rubber wheels and better rims. Besides, repair the trail light make it look like real Mazda RX-7.

Hmm.... I think this post not compare Mazda RX-7 & Mazda RX-8.
Just take some photo for fun since both are brother.

Tomica Limited TL0039 Mazda RX-8

Long time no update my blog due to busy working and also my house renovation.

This time I review TL0039 Mazda RX-8, a Sport salon car.
If compare with Mazda RX-7, I love the RX-7 body shape but like the creative design of RX-8 Door "freestyle door" ~ after open the doors don't have the center bar.

This TL0039 Mazda RX-8, a metallic Red paint with a real look sport RIM.
A little disappointed because the creativity designed door can't be opened.

Unfortunately Tomica don't produce Mazdaspeed RX-8 diecast, if not sure get it for my collection.

Tomica Limited TL0017 Mazda RX-7 (FD3S)

Mazda do produce a nice sport car ~ Mazda RX-7(FD3D).
This is a legend car and have been used wisely in Racing event like D1...
Besides, this car also famous at Initial D comic/animation, which drive by Keisuke Takahashi(高橋 啓介) a Yellow FD3D.

I only manage get this Tomica Limited Mazda RX-7(FD3D) from oversea, since this is TL0017 quite hard to get in market already.
This Chili Red Mazda RX-7 give me a powerful image for RX-7.
Both front door can be opened.
If you can't get this Tomica Limited in local Market here, you still can get some Tomica Regular Mazda RX-7 with deep blue color ~ it still a nice car to collect.
