New Released Toyota Diecast Models by Maisto

Maisto, registered in 1990 under Hong Kong’s May Cheong Group, is a globally renowned diecast car brand loved by collectors and kids alike. Made with solid zinc alloy bodies and fine plastic parts, its models faithfully replicate real vehicles with precise lines, clear logos, detailed interiors and movable parts like openable doors.

Covering supercars, classic muscle cars, SUVs and daily hatchbacks, most items carry official auto brand licenses. Produced in factories across Asia, they balance exquisite craftsmanship and affordable prices. With multiple scales for collection, Maisto cars feature built-in suspension for vivid play experience. Durable, realistic and rich in vehicle types, they serve as perfect display pieces, play toys and ideal gifts for car enthusiasts of all ages.

While Maisto boasts a wide range of diecast vehicles in the market, you may be surprised to find that Toyota models by Maisto is extremely scarce. For a very long time, the Toyota Scion xB was practically the only Toyota diecast model released by the brand. This model was incredibly popular and sold briskly back then. Today, it has become quite hard to track down among collectors.

Recently, I’ve found several new Toyota diecast models released by Maisto, including the Toyota GR Yaris, Toyota GR Supra, Toyota Celica GT-S and Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro pickup truck. I can’t wait to share these models with you. Undoubtedly, they will greatly enrich your collection.

All these new released Toyota cars by Maisto are 1/24(1/27) scale model, so that its quality is not as good as most 1/18 scale model released by Almost Real, Kyosho and so on, However, you can get them at affordable price, about 30USD, and they are entry level models for collectors.

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.

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 .

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.
