Tamiya 58705 Ford Bronco 2021 (CC-02) – updated product video



Tamiya is proud to announce the release of the Ford Bronco 2021 as our new R/C model on the cross-country CC-02 chassis. The Ford Bronco has been sold since 1966, and the Ford Bronco 2021 was announced as the sixth-generation model in 2021, 25 years since the last generation’s release.

Detail Specifics of the Tamiya R/C version:
Tamiya’s design team have chosen to give R/C enthusiasts a replica of the best full-size Bronco variant. The R/C model assembly kit depicts the 2-door type’s top grade First Edition model. The First Edition Bronco SUV is built for those who have waited patiently for the legend’s return. The First Edition is a loaded Bronco combining the best parts of all Bronco series. First Edition Broncos use the mechanicals of a Badlands, the interior of an Outer Banks and the exterior of a Wildtrak to create the ultimate Bronco! Our designers have captured the very essence of the First Edition Bronco in every way possible!

Tamiya 56045 British Battle Tank Centurion Mk.III Full-Option Kit
The Tamiya vast line up of radio-controlled model tanks just got bigger! This R/C tank recreates the Centurion in 1/16 scale as a radio control model. The Centurion Mk. III was developed as a heavy cruiser tank to counter the powerful German Army tanks during WWII. The Mk. III was perhaps the most polished Centurion variant, equipped with the L/66.7 20 pounder long barrel gun. It was also deployed in the Korean War in 1950, and showed off overwhelming strength which saved the Allied forces from crisis many times. The production reached about 2,800 between 1948 and 1956. After the Korean War, the Mk. III were deployed in European countries, but also other areas such as India, Israel, and Egypt with their formidable force.


Tamiya 70248 Roller Skating Robot
Tamiya’s energetic Craft Model Design team never rest! They’ve come up with their latest whimsical Robot creation in a fun new way with the introduction of the Roller-Skating Robot. The Roller-Skating Robot moves forward by opening and closing its legs. This motion is the same as actual skating – a type of motion called swizzle.

Key features of our Rolling Skating friend:
• This Roller-Skating Robot moves forward by opening and closing its legs, and caster limit restricts caster movement and changes lateral to forward motion.
• The rudders on the roller skates can be adjusted to turn right and left.
• Push the left rudder to the outside to turn left, and the right rudder outside to turn right.
• Choose between clear blue body which allows viewing of internal mechanisms and white one which can be freely painted.
• Speed: 33.3 cm/s=1.2 km/h (It takes about 3 seconds to run 1 meter.)
• Minimum turning radius: about 300mm.
• Includes everything needed for easy snap-fit/screw-together assembly.
• Comes with type 130 motor.
• One AA battery is required (sold separately).
• Can move along rails if desired (separately sold universal arms).

Review of Tamiya 58702 Subaru BRZ ZD8 TT-02



Sometimes simple is better and when it comes to a fun on-road kit to build up, Tamiya is a great company to turn to. We managed to get an early release of the new Tamiya Subaru BRZ ZD8 TT-02 Kit. The TT-02 chassis itself is not new. It’s been around for a while and has proven to be a fun build model that performs really well for it’s simple design and suspension set-up. We actually recommend the TT-02 a lot for those looking for a kit to build. Luckily there are a number of body options for TT-02 kits and here’s one more with the BRZ body. This video is a quick look at this car and how much fun it is to drive stock out of the box.

Cancellation of the Nuremberg Toy Fair Spielwarenmesse 2022


For the second year in a row it is cancelled due to the pandemic situation, we were really looking forward to it as we love being there, meeting our favourite brand and the people behind, reporting live and revealing the new releases from there, but we will stay patient and hoping for a better situation again in the near future.

Here is the official statement of the fair:

Cancellation of the physical Spielwarenmesse 2022

The toy industry has been looking forward to the world’s leading event for the sector at the beginning of February. The rapid growth of the Omicron variant in recent days, however, and the resultant increasing number of cancellations to stands, has left the organiser, Spielwarenmesse eG, with no alternative – with a heavy heart it has to cancel Spielwarenmesse 2022 in Nuremberg. As an alternative, exhibitors, specialist retailers and media representatives can meet up on the Spielwarenmesse Digital platform.

“We have fought hard to be able to hold the live event and we received strong support initially from toy markets worldwide,” says Christian Ulrich, Spokesperson of the Executive Board at Spielwarenmesse eG. A large number of suppliers without international distribution networks appealed to the organisers even in December to continue with the fair, which is so important to international business.

In the last few days, conditions have been deteriorating. Due to the rapid growth of the Omicron variant, the situation with the pandemic is now markedly different. In response to this a large number of exhibitors, out of concern for the health of their teams, cancelled their stands. The Spielwarenmesse, the leading global industry event, thus no longer looked capable of providing its customary broad overview of the international toy market. A further complication was that it was no longer possible to plan ahead with any certainty because it was possible at any time that the event could be cancelled by the authorities.

“We regret having to make this decision and are grateful to everyone who remained committed to a physical trade fair to the very end,” commented Christian Ulrich. A multifunctional platform is available both for exhibitors and for visitors: thanks to Spielwarenmesse Digital, they still have networking opportunities and the facility to discover the latest trends, within the original timetable of the trade fair.
