[REVIEW] Tomica Toyota Crown Majesta

It’s Tomica time again, and we are still stuck in the 90s for this and one more car, before we move to more vintage Tomica. This is yet another model I bought new about 20 years ago. Today we see Tomica 55, the Toyota Crown Majesta, which was in the range from 1992-2000. This is another car that to me is kind of link between the old precise castings, and the new softer castings:

It’s pretty well done, overall. Scale claims to be 1:64, which may be a little smaller than reality, as the casting seems good sized - I don’t know about the real car. I am not sure why I chose this when new, I guess it maybe reminded me of a Lexus, and I like the white over silver/grey two toning, which was popular on early 90s MBs as well. I also like the pearly white paint. This model has a few bumper chips, as I remember letting a young relative play with it when it was new. It kind of adds realism, as Toyolex products in my area aren’t exactly immune to bumper damage:

This one received only a little superdetailing from me back in the day. I like the lens for the rear lights, a very nice tough:

It has an interior too, steering wheel maybe a little small:

I’d like headlight lenses too, but overall, everything here is good:

Decent undercarriage typical of the era, still Made in Japan:

The box survived, a little worse for wear, but complete:

Another one I am glad I kept, I kind of like this, for the pleasant colors and style of the model.

Here’s a real one:
