Hi Everyone,

CM's is a Japanese toy company that specialize in the blind-box collectible toys that are extremely popular in Japan. Their offering include diecat cars, anime robot (Mecha) figures, and anime character figures. Their collection of 1/64 rally cars is unmatched by any other manufacturer in the world.

CM's scale and details are really excellent. Exterior details include plastice lens for lights, miniature antenna, rear view mirrors, and correct decals depicting drivers and the race event logos. Interior details include painted seats, seat belts, painted roll bars, and spare tires. You really need to hold them in your hands to appreciate their quality.

I have yet to compile the photos for their Lamborghini collection but I'm sure many collectors here have seen them on line. Their features include opening hoods, engine details, and opened or closed head lamp positions.

Took me a long time to complete these, but it's definitely worth the effort. I've learned about the CM's cars in the process, and looks like I'll be breaking my bank again trying to collected these fine rally cars. There are still many limited edition cars as well as secret cars not posted here. Please feel free to add to the thread if you have these pictures.

CM's cars are outstanding. I wish I had more of them. The quality of the Lamborghini's is such that I cant tell them apart from my Kyosho Lambo's sitting next to them. I think the rally cars are even better.

Hi Arnes, your best bet is to ask Japanese eBay sellers to source these cars for you. I don't think there are any online stores that sells them right now. However, being a limited release, they will be difficult to find and the price won't be cheap.

Subaru

Hello!
Looking for some new members to the collection found in a Japanese forum that model subaru.
I wonder if anyone really knows and it is 1:64 and finally if you can find it for sale because I really liked it!

Hug!

Nice! I'm not a fan of Japanese cars in general, but I really like the design (and performance) of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI sedan. I think that it needs the wing on the back but that's just my opinion.

I was really impressed with the quality and sorry for not knowing virtually nothing about it ...
The model is 2011 subaru, I think it will be released!
But I do not know how this photo was available ...
I would like someone from Japan that is the home of diecast, searching for something on, if possible ...
For in Brazil is greatly HW and almost nothing about these masterpieces have learned to admire and collect too [laughs].

Hug!.

CM's are great models and I have always loved race cars models. I am a big fan and have collected and sold many of their cars :)

Is a real shame that they have stopped production tho..

And that new STi 4-door is gorgeous! I have to find a way to get that too

Huge bump, but here's something that's been bugging me for the longest time.

When I enter a new item into my collection, I document the year when it was released.

Has anyone been able to figure out when each series was released? If you know it, would you be as so kind to let me know? Is there a source you may have used that you could direct me to?

Thank you very much, Josh!

That will help greatly with my blog entries. I've tried looking on the boxes, and I can identify the word "month", but I don't see "year" on it, let alone any numbers that suggest a year.

Would you happen to be familiar with a "Subaru Special Color Ver."? They do a special release of what looks like the SS.4 release, recolour each WRC car in the roster to a solid colour with no livery.

According to the illustration on the box, this release contains the Legacy RS (the only one not in the SS.4 series), Imprea WRX, Impreza WRC 1999, Impreza WRC 2002, Impreza WRX 2005, and Impreza WRC 2006 Prototype.
