Isuzu Mu Type X on the way back

[TWINSET]

Looking forward to this one

Seriously?! They're re-re'ing the Mu? That's so cool! My dad used to have an Opel Frontera (this, but with a slightly different grill) and this way I could build a model of his old car.

[WillyChang]

Yay!

I can't wait for this one! Had a real one last year until the floor fell off!

[Blista]

The Isuzu Mu is a welcome surprise.  I see Mokei Kagaku has also mentioned 47375 Mitsubishi Pajero Metal Top Wide Black Metallic being released this year as well.  My CC01 choices have suddenly become way more complicated.

I always liked the look of the Frontera - even test drove a couple - awful cars to drive !

Bought a real 4x4 instead - a Jeep !

A Mu would be nice, I seem to collect at least doubles of most chassis types, so why not a Mu for the CC-01. However it would be nice if they did another body style, like a Subaru Forester (my preference is a 2009 model ), a Rav4, or even a Niva Lada.

@yogi-bear 2009 Subaru Forester - yes please!!!

I love my CC01 FJ40 to bits but if they released a CC01 of my 1:1 MY09 Forester I'd be over the moon. Love that car.

The Mysterious Utility is a classic.

Guess that confirms they've still got the Mu molds, unless they're making new molds just for this. It has been a long time in the ether.

BiTD there was talk the next 1/10 hardbody could've been the Isuzu Vehicross

T made some smaller Vehicross models but nothing seen in 1/10. Wonder if they even got around to making a big mold for that.

I'd buy one if they did!

ewww those JGTC wheels don't work 

[Blissard]

Great news! I'm glad I didn't sell my original wheels and tires.

Looks really nice, and I've always liked this body. However, why can't Tamiya FINALLY come out with a soft compound of those tires? Ugh. Really one of three of the most frustrating things with Tamiya these days -- a refusal to include ball bearings in all kits, no hex head screws and an insistence on including plastic tires with the CC01 -- a TRAIL TRUCK!

Yeah, simply a bizarre choice! How on earth did they arrive at this particular design over others? They were molded in white for the 58131 Tom's Levin, but the matte plated version actually appeared as this very limited event release:

Why didn't they just use the Isuzu design that they clearly still have the molds for???

I kept a set from my F-350 High-Lift

I had a '93 Amigo and a '99 rodeo sport, definitely have to get one, although the wheels need to go for sure!

And people think the Evoque is some genius new idea from RR

And they try market the convertible Evoque like its a modern revelation 

The ORIGINAL LandRover didn't have a roof, did it?  

[Aleblanc]

I just noticed RCJAZ had them in stock, I ordered two... now the long wait begins.

[WillyChang]

Was watching Matteo's movie night before  

 

[Only4Fun]

I've got the original first release version.

[Aleblanc]

sweet! I plan on building one box stock and the other as a more serious rock crawler.

[nowinaminute]

I want to make a replica of the vauxhall frontera that illegally drove up the Snowdonia mountain railway lol
