The Backyard – 2025 will get rolling with some new releases!
Happy Friday all and welcome to The Backyard.
Lots of reports this week, as numerous corporations, most notably Tamiya and Kyosho, introduced their 2025 releases on the Nuremberg International Toy Fair in Germany.
Sadly for me, one other yr with out a Juggernaut 2 re-release. Fans of on-road automobiles and buggies are most likely happier although! Tamiya has the BMW license again, and they look like benefiting from it immediately! If you’re serious about seeing the complete record of releases, try this put up over on the Tamiya Blog.
Out of every little thing introduced, I’m most within the Honda City Turbo rerelease. It’s principally an on-road model of a Wild Willy, and so they look actually cool. They could be a freakin’ blast to race in a parking zone setting!
If you’re serious about what Kyosho introduced for the upcoming launch yr, you’ll be able to try the record here. The greatest arrow of their quiver might be the brand new Kyosho 1/10 Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 Fazer D2 Readyset (check out this post for more info). Quite a lot of drift followers are very enthusiastic about it!
Not to be outdone by these abroad, again right here within the states Horizon Hobby introduced the brand new Losi 1/18 Mini LMT Megalodon 2S 4X4 RTR Brushed Monster Truck. This up to date Losi Mini LMT launch sees the favored Monster Jam “Megalodon” released as a brand new physique set (the truck has up to date suspension hyperlinks as properly, from the earlier launch). As an apart, I’ve heard at numerous instances the previous few years that exterior of Grave Digger, Megalodon sells probably the most merchandise at Monster Jam exhibits, so it’s not a shock to see the massive shark made smaller, right here.
This is historically the time when the business actually will get shifting once more after the year-end lull, and it appears like another massive bulletins are about to be made shortly by different corporations, so buckle up! This is an thrilling time- hopefully the interest actually finds its footing once more after a troublesome 2024!
That’s it for me this week, till subsequent time, preserve it on all 4’s!
