Official DSM Toy Model thread

Since I'm basically a kid in a small adult's body (lol) and still love toys, I figure I'd post up anything and everything DSM related that I have. What's a collection if it's locked up for no one to see?

Anybody wanting to add to the thread, feel free to do so the more the merrier!

Pictures will be taken today and will follow shortly!

I know I don't have a pic of it anymore but I used to race 1:10 scale Nitro spec RC cars. Had a 2g wide body. Pretty fun those things, had almost $2g's in the hobby altogether. They're AWD and mine had 3.5hp, could get up to 90km/h in a 2 speed forward and no reverse.

HPI RS4

Although mine was ALL BLACK! kind of miss it, but much prefer sitting in one rather than RC'ing one. LOL

Yesterday I placed my order on this guy at amazon (only had 1 in stock)



It's hard to see if it's 420A or 4G63 but it was the best i could find.
I will place it on my desk at work

That's a 420A turbo, I have the same model. I also have the Fast and Furious Eclipse. The red model above is the exact same toy model as the F&F one just with a different color scheme and bigger park bench on the back haha

Not your average toys; scale models with an attitude




1/18 ERTL Fast & Furious
DETAILS

Have all of these, but they're all in boxes, so figured I'd keep them there and show all the different colors so you know which exist.

HPI 1/10 Scale Radio controlled model (electric)
DETAILS

ERTL 1/24 Scale
DETAILS

This one came with parts you could switch around


Version without any other parts


Although I changed the wheels on this one.

Revell 1/25 Scale
DETAILS




These came in the yellow Talon-ish look and also in the Fast & Furious Green, both of which you have to build yourself (have both, pictured only one as the other isn't assembled). The right engine though!

Muscle Machine 1/24 Scale Funline Edition
DETAILS

Probably my favorite out of all of them

These are very hard to find and probably the best detailed ones you can get. Not to mention they have the right engine! They came in blue, yellow, bronze and a "you make it yourself kit" in white as show here



Also, it's marked up as a GST but taking a quick glimpse under.....GSX!


Street Tech 1/32 Scale
DETAILS

Had a hoochie so put her in


This one either makes engine noise (top button) and lights up



Or if you open the hatch, plays music and strobes to the beat

Modifiers 1/43 Scale
DETAILS


Marketed as a GSX from 1999, unfortunately, wrong engine!

Came in various other colors, among which:


I'm missing the silver (which is the last other color they came in) because didn't have one out of the box.

Modifiers 1/64 Scale
DETAILS



Racing Champions 1/64 Scale
DETAILS

Also came in blue/turquoise and orange (don't have the orange)


Hot Wheels 1/64 Scale
DETAILS

Only spyder model ever made for the 2g

These came in a bunch of colors including a toy fair one shown here

Not Sure 1/64 Scale
DETAILS


Revell 1/64 Scale
DETAILS


Joy Ride-Fury World 1/64 Scale
DETAILS

Muscle Machines 1/64 Scale
DETAILS

Nearly Impossible to find, but most detailed 1/64 model you could ever find with....wait for it....the RIGHT engine!

Of course, I save the best for last, the one, the only, easily sold between 400-500$/model

Mitsubishi 1/16 Scale 1g dealer model
DETAILS

You could only get these when you bought a new 1g when they came out in the States. Only a few lucky owners got to get one of these.

Might have a couple other 1/24 Fast & Furious models, but this took WAY longer than anticipated and I'm hungry .

ENJOY!

Just a last one for Eric

^^SWEET sh!t! $500 bucks!! i sold mine for $50..

Yuppers, in the collector world or even in the DSM-fanatic medium, these sell around there. You gave that buyer one hell of a deal.

Hahaha, that's awesome man thanks

Thought you might like that one

Edit: A tid-bit of notable info on the blue 1/18 model shown in the first couple of posts; it was originally suppose to be the color of the car in Fast & Furious. They changed their mind to the green one at the last minute. Coincidentally, the blue model sells for around 300-400$ because it's scarce to find and because of the reason aforementioned.

Some of my collection, includes the "hard to find" 1:64 model in packaging. I wouldnt have time to take pics of all my 1:18 scale (i have over 100) lol. I kinda feel odd being a 30yr old toy car collector! But i really enjoy it..

You have the white 1/64 eclipse too! It's a great looking beauty. Bah don't worry about it. I get people telling me that too (I'm 27), then they get in the room where all the cars are and they switch from adult to kid and absolutely love being there. Besides, I'm sure when/if I ever get a kid they'll love their dad for having such cool toys Not to mention these rust less than the real one lol

Besides, they bring in more money than storing my cash at the bank and look better than a bank statement, so win-win!

Nice collection Guillaume, I have about the same with Lego...except they are all open save for one Millennium Falcon still MISB.

Something I have been toying around with has been developing a DSM through Lego's "Designed by Me" program. It is a CAD program with all the bricks and you essentially build something in the program and it automatically produces a part list and instructions, then you can order the model from Lego. The neat thing is you can then share that model with people and they can order it as well. Per piece count, it about an extra 15-25% in cost than a mass produced set, totally worth it for model I was able to build. When I get the car back together, I'll make it my summer project designing one that can be bought from Lego. Just need to get the scale right and figure out how much detail to go into.

Very true! im really big into 1:18 diecast, so ive been working on that. Im almost at the point of buying stock in Autoart lol.

is that 1:64 eclipse worth anything? i have the modifiers one in red as well in a box plus the F&F collection. lol

Thanks I loved legos, but switched to Mechano as a kid very early on (and boy do they rust over the years :S). That would be cool to see though. I'm actually in the midst of building my eclipse in 1/18. Basically have to make everything from scratch, but it's getting there. Worthless anywhere else but to me, always wanted MY car in a model.



lol I'd loose a lot if I switched to Autoart...I've been looking at a couple of old Evo's...those prices are HIGH! If your collection is Autoart it must be a doozy, they don't skimp on detail.

The 1/64 usually goes between 20-30$ which isn't bad for such a small car. It's mostly because of it's looks and supply/demand as they are quite scarce, even in the US, but like anything else, you need to find the right buyer. F&F usually sells well with movie fanatics, car guys usually try to buy the most realistic one they can find. Unfortunately for us, most DSM models always had a flaw of some kind (wrong engine/transmission/not stock etc.)

$20-$30? wow thats decent!, not all of my collection is Autoart, i have some Burango, Maisto etc, i basically collect the cars im "interested" in, i wont just grab any one as i just dont have the room! I got big into the SHELBY collection, as well as a few others, i really like the Initial D ones, great detail and i liked the cartoon lol

Since you guy's seem to be collectors are there actually any 1gb talon models or diecast out there?

Nadda, sorry. Only that 1/16 1g I have pictured and a small 1/64 of it (I think it's matchbox but I'm sure Rob could tell you since I don't personally have it). Even 2g never got any talons made in models apart from a small resemblance in the yellow Revell and in one of the 2 types of 1/43 2g eclipse Modifiers sold.

Edit: The 1/64 1g is a targa top from Hotwheels (just re-read the thread where he talked about it)

Terrible old picture.. I have no idea where it is but I'm sure I'll find it again someday!

Thanks. I have been looking forever. I guess it really only got popular after F&F. To bad they used a 2g(sorry 2g guys) but 1gb is still the sexiest.

I always qualified sexiness as curvy, voluptuous and pleasing the the eye which is exactly what I see in the 2g. Even the interior kept that idea of curves. That's just me though, always considered the 1g as wedge-shaped. Only 1g that got my attention was one from Germany with rolled fenders and the beautiful EU spoiler that comes with it.

pics of said German talon or it didnt happen!! (I am trying to search it out as we speak)

Well said man!!!

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j428/Lurkz4/1geclipsed20.jpg

Although, on the scale model toy side, they never quite got the curve on the hatch-to-body and the nice inward bend of the doors which gives the car that ultimate curvy look. Trying to replicate that in the one I'm presently building.

That my friend is a sexy tail section!!

Not a dsm nor a 4g63 but thought I would share a toy I just found!

Dont worry, i collect Lego's as well. But i usually buy 2 of the same kind.

One for me *ahem* and one for the twins

I usually collect City Lego but looking at StarWars as well.

Is that a model of the roadster concept?!!

^ Me thinks yes:

Just cause I like backing up my claims and showing our cars are still worth a pretty penny (at least in model form)

1g DSM model 1/16 scale

Sick.

Every so often I ask around hobby shops and there are no 2G Talons in black anywhere.

I like how it says "new in box" and "unopened" but has a picture of it sitting on top of it's box

I bid on one afew years back, probably 7-8 yrs. It got up to ~$50 so I stopped bidding, thinking it was way too much money. I wish I had now.

Hey Michael,

Which one are you referring to, the yellow/black 1/25 scale one? Or a full-out Talon one (which I don't believe were ever made)? I'm building mine as a 1/18 model but my next project is trying my hands at a 2g Talon model. Time being my only enemy at this point.

A full out talon one.

Someone has one I think on tuners that's a duplicate/image of their own 2G black Talon.

I think it may have been a remote control car or a model.

I'll see if I can find the image.

He's actually a ca.dsm guy!

^^ If that's the case, that's cheap then, well for the plastic body at least. Just look for "HPI 1/10 scale Eclipse" on ebay. I think they range between 15-20$ + shipping without paint. Although, it's a 2gb Eclipse body

Oops

Yes Rob that's him!

I want that thing!

Oh, it's an Eclipse, but still cool! I need something to chase all these earwigs down with in my new basement apartment.

I'm going crazy.

Ha that pictures awesome!

360 dollars? Does the bidder know a 1g goes for that price and they can drive it around?


Having said that I want 2. It looks to be rust free

Get a cat! they like spiders aswell

Cats will eat the earwigs???

I found the "body" but can't figure out which RC car to get. WTF

Please excuse my "little" eyes.

Edit: Wow definitely not cheap.

Just picked up my Evo today

Where did that come from?!?! I want it!

A store here in Quebec called C'est Pas Cher, I could pick another one up and send it to you next time I'm in the area. They had white and blue as well.

Two new ones to add to the list




The 1g is a 1/64 from ERTL (will be repainted, as it looks like someone sneezed color on it lol)

wow, that last one's a "roller" loool

^ lol that it is! Gonna work on it with new wheels and better paint. I know in the collecting world that's a big nono (modifying the original colors/structure) but this things definitely needs a redo. That and it won't fit in my collection looking like that

Hhehe

eagle Talon toys!

known in Japan as Takanotsume which translates to Eagle Talon.

^ hehe

This is the 3G Eclipse body I had on my old NTC3









Functional fart can and all!

Found a few more!

3g Eclipse Spyder


Evo X


Evo X


Evo VIII or IX?

I could likely pick it up in my local hobby store... do you have the brand name of the toy??

Eric, walmarts has a police car evo in matchbox

Like this one?

I got a late birthday present from my wonderful lady! 1:18 scale Lancer Evo X

Since i had too many pictures in the previous post:

Sweet!

Whoa awesome!

Newest addition



Finally found a pristine one like Rob once had Think I have most of them now, or at least very close to.

Well finally got around to taking pictures of my 2g eclipse model in 1/24 scale that is 1 of 1...yup, you heard right, this is the only one of these you'll ever get and it took a lot of arm twisting and green paper to get it. BUT it's finally mine (I'm a diehard Eclipse collector...so I don't mind spending the coin on something like this).

Here she is, all in wood, carved meticulously by what I believe was a CNC machine:

Awesome collection Guillaume, I've never seen most of these.

That wood one is really incredible. Too bad it doesn't have a spoiler but I suppose that would have been a difficult shape. Is it heavy?

I bet the Fast & Furious themed stuff is worth a little more now

Pretty cool! Rare for sure. So how exactly it was made and the cost

It is actually quite heavy, from the shear weight of it I can only assume it was made from a solid block of wood. This was either a designer's model or one used for the mockup of a windtunnel model for coefficient calculations. Still trying to find that out. Getting the model was the first thing on my list, research is after

It was made with the aid of a CNC machine from what the previous owner told me. Hence the perfect lines and mirror image of the real deal 2g. It's missing the spoiler and mirrors for the exact reason Jeff mentioned, depending on the design of the CNC machine, some angles aren't possible and get in the way of the machine to finish the actual body of the car. Cost I'll keep to myself because it was a bit too much and either way, this thing isn't leaving my collection for a LONG LONG while I may try my hands on a 3D modeller to get a version I can finish off with the spoiler and so on, but this one isn't being touched, it's staying as-is.

Yeah, anything with the figurine of Paul Walker went 10x the price. A model I bought for 9$ a long time ago has sprung to 175-250$ a pop. Makes no sense to me, but that's how our world works. People are only remembered and praised after their death, rarely are they in their own lifetime.

That thing sure is beautiful!! Can't wait to see it in person!

I hear 3d printing gets costly too!

Good god Gui, that thing is beautiful!

Looks like its made out of MDF

10000s of hand power!!

Seriously though i vouch for staring at some wood. intriguing wood at that.

no wing?!

One is in the projects for a copy of this one, but yeah, that one is staying as is with no wing. I like the smoothness it creates to that particular wood model, no hard corners.

Blue Eclipse

Wonder how much this one will go for....last blue one I've seen sold, sold for 700 to some guy in Russia

Orange one usually sells for 200-300 but this year I saw one go for 500$!

Orange Eclipse

Even if some of our cars aren't worth much...their toys certainly are

325$ and climbing!

I have red one. Bought it for 50 $ 2 years ago

Normally, those should go up in value later (the red one). It's the only model that only 2500 were made. The yellow, green and purple one are 5000 in number each. The orange and blue were under 1000 in numbers if memory serves me right.

550$!

Still better than the 700$ the last one went for though

Well, I thought these couldn't get any better

Super well detailed 1/43 of our cars. Although very similar to the ones made by x-concepts way back. These have no engine. Bottom is flat (no exhaust system or drivetrain detail). Nothing opens, but "gosh golly" they make nice desk ornaments

I'll have a better pic of them, just rushing this one cause I'm giddy lol







Come in different colors (gun metal/silver/white/red/cayenne/black)
