1/30 Toyota Frontlander Diecast Model in Seven Colors

 In yesterday’s article, we introduced the Toyota Corolla Cross and its diecast model, and we mentioned that this 1/18 scale Toyota Corolla Cross replica is the only available model of this vehicle, leaving buyers with no other alternatives. However, if you’re interested in its twin model, the Toyota Frontlander diecast model will present you with an alternative option.

As we all know, Toyota has two joint ventures in China: FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota. Vehicles built on the same platform are manufactured by different joint ventures and launched for sale under distinct nameplate. The Toyota C-HR and Toyota IZOA serve as a typical example of this strategy.

The Toyota Corolla Cross is the model’s global nameplate in Africa, North America, Asia, Middle East and Europe. In China, this vehicle is produced and sold by FAW Toyota under the Chinese market name Corolla Cross (锐放), while its twin vehicle, the Toyota Frontlander is manufactured by GAC Toyota.

There is no 1/18 scale Toyota Frontlander diecast model for both collectors and car owner, and the only Toyota Frontlander model is the 1/30 scale model. Different with Toyota Corolla Cross model comes in single color, Toyota Frontlander car model was released in seven different colors including silver, red, golden, gray, blue, black and white, so that buyers can select their favorite color.

As usual, 1/32, 1/36 and 1/38 scale diecast models are considered as the car toys for children, however, this 1/30 scale car model is not suitable for children because there is no any function such as pull-back, working sound and light, instead, it is suitable for collectors at affordable price.

Toyota Avanza Diecast Models at Different Scales for Collectors

In yesterday's post, we introduced three Toyota Avanza Veloz toy cars by Tomica , which are ideal items for kids aged 3 to 8. However, if you are diecast model collectors, you will think these Tomica replicas fall short of collectible standards. For instance, they are not fitted with rearview mirrors which is common among Tomica cars. While this is not a defect, it keeps the models from being perfect. In the diecast model market, the only Toyota Avanza model suitable for collectors is a 1/43 scale model, as shown in the pictures below.   This 1/43 scale Toyota Avanza model is the replica works of 2nd generation Toyota Avanza released in 2011 with codename F650.

In addition to the 1/43 scale model, if you are looking for a 1/18 scale Toyota Avanza model, the answer in NO, but you can select its variant as replacement. As we mentione...

Two Toyota Prius Diecast Toys With Pull-Back Function for Kids

In previous post, we’ve introduced a few diecast Toyota Prius toys, including models by Tomica . However, most of them come in a small scale such as 1/60 scale with limited play features, so they are not the best choice for everyone. This is especially true for children around eight years old, who prefer toys in a larger scale with more functions. If you’re struggling to find suitable toys, here are two larger scale Prius toys with pull-back functions for your reference. Why diecast car toys with pull-back function are so popular among kids of all ages?

Only One 1/18 Scale Toyota Corolla Cross Model for Collectors

 When people ask which are Toyota’s most successful models, the Toyota Corolla is always on the list. First launched in 1966, the nameplate celebrated its 60th anniversary a few years ago. Over these six decades, it has gone through 12 generations, each one a classic in its own right.  However, today I’m not going to talk about the Toyota Corolla. Instead, I’ll focus on a model with a similar name that is Toyota Corolla Cross. When it first hit the market, many people assumed it was simply an SUV variant of the Corolla, given its shared “Corolla” badging. This is not the case, though. While the two share part of their name, they differ drastically in body style, off-road capability and interior space layout, making them two entirely distinct vehicles. The Toyota Corolla Cross was first launched in Southeast Asian markets including Thailand in 2020, before rolling out to other markets such as China, and arrived in North America in 2022. Judging by its body size, it slots betwee...
