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. They are
manufactured by the famous brand Kyosho but marked as the RIMS brand.
You can choose your favorite one among blue, black, brown and gray.
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 mentioned before, the Toyota Avanza is sold
under different nameplates in different countries. For example, it is
badged as the Daihatsu Xenia in the Philippines. Meanwhile, the 2nd
generation Toyota Avanza is also known as the Toyota Transmover while
the 3rd generation Toyota Avanza goes by the nameplate Toyota Veloz.
In
addition, FAW launched a rebadged version based on the 1st generation
Toyota Avanza in China with nameplate FAW Senya M80, which hit the
market in 2007 and was discontinued in 2016.
1/18 scale FAW Senya
M80 diecast model was released for collectors, five different colors
including black, white, red, silver and blue were available in the past,
however, now it is rare to find one. If you are interested, we share
its related video in following article.
