TAMIYA 2012 ?
As in the previous years
a) which products do you think Tamiya could release this year (static, RC, mini, anything else) and
b) which products would you personally like to be released (regardless of if their chances are realistic)?
Feel free to use the comments link at the end of this entry (comments are shown after being checked which can take some hours).
The team of tamiyablog.com thanks again for the continuously growing
reader base and support and wishes everyone a great 2012!
They’ve come so close to my which list.
- Egress
- Wild One
- Monster Beetle
And for the 959, I wouldn’t mind if they put it on TA05-M4.
Dear Tamiya Team,
I wish a Toyota Tundra 4×4, which isn`t highlifted.
There should be more clearance.
It would be very cool, if there will be a roll bar for the
Toyota Tundra.
Going off the special editions idea, i.e. the black avante, here’s what I’d love to see:
Super Fox (Original Fox was my first true RC car)
GMC Typhoon (this would be a new rc model)
Any CanAm series race car
Bruiser/Hilux Delux (fully kitted with lights, etc.)
Black BigWig
My thoughts on future releases:
A chassis (no idea which) with the Taisan Starcard body (since it’s been re-released … sadly without decals)
M07
Hope for some f103-f104 chassis with modern Le Mans LMP1 bodies
wishes:
-racing shaft chassis
Four years waiting for TB-EVO 6 and still nothing… But after awesomatix’s out, maybe other factories will return to shaft drive 
-RWD TC with full-independent suspension
Rally version of TRF-201 or DN-01 would be great to (I have Ansmann RR buggy modified for rally and it’s great car)
- and LOT of standart-sized rally bodies from group B to WRC
Hilux
959(Not on a TA05 MFour though…open belt rally Whahhhh!!)
Mazda 787B
I really dream a cool Hovercraft from Tamiya
1/12TH Scale Lotus 72d 1972
1/12TH Scale Lotus 72E 1973
1/12TH Scale Tyrrell P34 Japanese Version
1/12TH Scale Ferrari 312T2 1977
Its has to be a vintage re-re for me…
Probably the BLAZING BLAZER or maybe 58001 in its original kit box form… No, think I’ll stick with the BB
- 4WD M-chassis with shaft, I love shaft, now and forever…
- The re-re still good, Monster Beetle (for the three musketeers reunion), Le-mans, vintage 3 speed or something that seems impossible to see on shelf again with a single life time…
- I started with Mini4WD (long times ago…) so I wish to see Mini4WD grow together. Such like Beat Magnum upscale to 1:10 and might apply cool on Direct Drive chassis (don’t mind even it 2WD) and many open wheels bodies suit well on buggies too. Yes, Big boy need something Bigger, why left cool design just in the lane.
Anyway, I can’t purchase them all @ once…
About my English, sorry if it made you headache.
Wishes :
-jaggernout
-mamoth dump truck
-bullhead
For me it has to be:
#1 Blazing Blazer.
#2 Super Champ
#3 Lamborgini Cheetah
#4 Audi Quattro (on modern 4WD chassis).
more older f1 bodies

I wish that red Toyota Hilux 4×4 with different ( larger ) rear body back. Not that High lift with ford chassis and lexan body
R/C Ferrari 312T2 1977 58011
R/C Toyoat PICK UP 4X4 58028
R/C Datsun 280ZX 58022
R/C Honda City Turbo Willy’s Whreeler 58039
wishing tamiya would begin producing 1/48 scale modern tanks such as the leopard II and abrams
All I want from Tamiya, is a re-release of the 1987 Toyota Celica Gr.B RS, and it’s spare parts, but redone with much stronger materials for the arms and a more modern suspension. PLEASE keep the same transmission layout with the center diff as this is what made it such a thrill to drive. two versions might even be a good idea. The original size and a 1/10 scale.
Dear Tamiya,
Please re-release the TL-01LA plus its hop ups.
I really like this kit because of its simplicity and sealed drivetrain and Im a fan of monocoque chassis.
Or better yet, redesign it; make it accommodate Reversible Suspension Arms, Carbon Shock Stays, Inline batt placement, adjustable droop, twin steering bellcranks, lower/wider gear ratios (4:5:1 to 7:5:1), aluminum motor mount and call it the TL02.
Hope to see that soon!
With LiPo or LiFE batts getting standardized, TT01 platform is getting left behind. Add the suspension sloppiness (specially at the front), the enjoyment factor doesnt last long. Id get a TL01 over a TT01 if only it had tons of hop ups and spares just like before. DF03RA was one of my options but its gear ratio is limited to 7:2:1 something, and we need lower gear ratios– 5:0:1 below.
Also release smaller spurs and bigger pinions as Im stuck with the gearing of my FF03 Pro.
Dear Tamiya,
This is my dream list for 2012 (and long before):
1) SuperChamp (upgraded mechanismbox)
2) FordRanger f150 (upgraded: fitable on standard SRB chassis, without lower rollbar, becomes minor hi-lifted, equipped with more realistic tires).
3) WildOne (with black rollcage like FAV2011)
4)Something NEW and SPECIAL for all RC fanatics…:
a real SandRail (like FUNCO 2012 or BUCKSHOT 2012). Technology these days makes it possible to work with smaller an fewer parts so it could happen… … … .
Dear Tamiya wish for years:
T34/85 RC 1:16 Full Optional Kit
Jagdtiger RC 1:16 Full Optional Kit
Sturmtiger RC 1:16 Full Optional kit
Stug IV RC Full Optional Kit
M4A3 Sherman V.V.S.S. RC 1:16 Full Optional Kit
MK IV Churchill RC 1:16 Full Optional Kit
Reply Vanquis 1:10 Off Road RC
1.Wild One
2.Wild One
3.Wild One
4.Wild One
Come on please re release this one especially since the FAV ia already out shouldnt take much more machining
Looking at “new item” updates, an other cool idea would be releasing some vintage media to frame, like 1,5ft x 2ft posters of all our beloved box-art:
The SandScorcher, BuggyChamp, Ford 150, SuperChamp, Blazer, Toyota Pickup, Frog, … Grasshopper, Hornet, HotShot … and on and on and on.
How about producing a slipper clutch hopup/mod for the 2wd dt-02 chassis
I’d like….
1. Egress
2. Vanquish
3. Super Champ
4. Astute
Re-Re them all again in order
one a month
Colin McRae’s 1996 Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 body
Dear Tamiya…
SO many I would love to see again…
Egress
Astute
Madcap
Super Champ for SURE!!
Vanquish
Dyna Storm!!
The Audi Quattro from the eighties…
The Wild One!!
Please Tamiya, please keep it going with the awesome re-releases that I couldn’t afford to buy when I was a kid!
1. Wild One
2. Fox
3. Egress
4. Toyota Celica Gr.B
5. Bigwig
1/24 Racecars!
Preferably any Le Mans 24 hours racer.
On top of my wish list is a 1/24 Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT2 or a V12 Vantage GT3
Secondly McLaren MP4-12C GT3
Any LMP, GT2, GT3 car would do in fact. Maybe a BMW DTM? or a Honda HSV-010 SuperGT
These of course in 1/24!!! No more loads of 1/10! But a proper 1/24 race car!
Dear Tamiya, i have been using your products since 1996 so will be happy to see re-release of vintage body parts such as Escort RS etc. I am very happy to see your announcement of Toyota Celica on fair but more WTCC cars specially Volvo.
I am using TA05 V2 and happy with its performance waiting for TA06 PRO R version
Egress and Wild One……………..
Dear Tamiya,
We need something as Legend back in the days such as Toyota Celica Gr.B, Juggernautt 1/2…
Hope that happens someday.
Gentlemen,
Tamiya has been the leader in quality and with providing new subjects in the Waterline Series since 1972. Your most recent releases, Repulse, Renown, E Class and Vampire continue in that direction. However, I would like to encourage you to introduce more kits of the WW2 vintage from the Allied forces. Dorsetshire, Cornwall, Ajax, Achilles, Exeter, USN 4 stack destroyers, USN Sims class DD, USN Brooklyn class CL; all would be high selling kits in foreign markets. You are the best maker of destroyer kits in the market. Please consider more than Japan’s domestic market when you choose your next subject.
Sincerely and with best regards.
I would like to see the Wild One, Falcon, Juggernaut, Lancia Delta Rally (The one on the frog chassis) Toyota Hi-Lux Monster Racer, Nissan King Cab, Bear Hawk, Bigwig and the Fox
I think a line of collectible models based on their RC line would be sweet. Maybe metal parts, working shocks, etc. Imagine a set of 1/24 scale buggys like Bigwig, Frog, Fox, Wild One sitting on your shelf! Or trucks like Blackfoot, Monster Beetle and Clod Buster! It would be a big hit with nostalgic collectors (not to mention easier on the wallet than Super Hotshots LOL) and car collectors as well.
As far as RC models, I’d like to see a solid 1/10 4wd rally chassis thats reasonably priced and easily upgraded so anyone can afford to use it. I see someone mentioned a re-vamp of TL-01, and perhaps thats not a bad idea for rally. Love the DF-03ra but its price will keep beginners from trying a good rally driving.
Tamiya Wild Ones!!!!
I Love to see the below Re- released’
1. Super Champ
2. Hot Shot II
3. Super Champ
4. Wild one
5. Super Champ
Avante 2001 – the last car in the avante family! December 2012 !
I’d love to see the following re releases:
1. Porsche 959
2. Celica Gr.B
3. Egress
4. Nissan King Cab
5. Mazda 787B Renown
Those are my all time favourites.
Cheers
