Synapse Tamiya Mini 4WD Can Badge Collections

Do you know? The birth of that machine. Do you remember? The excitement I got at the model shop. “Mini 4WD” series (mini 4wd) series that attracts adults from many children over 30 years since their birth. It is the emergence of a design that tributes the package design from the time of its launch, approaching fans beyond generations, on a can badge. To the designers “SPIRIT VISION” of product design and character / artwork centered on custom cars, we will deliver the message to the children I do not know now, and also the message through mono / design for the excitement of the then excitement.

Here is the most precious # niche plamo in my collection . Midget house of Tamiya. A styrofoam model born in the transition from wooden to plastic model with an item more than 50 years ago. Although it is in Tamiya historical hall in Shizuoka, personal possession is rare. Mr. Tamaki Tamiya, current chairman, said in a book “It could not be sold at all”.
