I get the impression it's been on Kyosho's mind weather or not to re-release the Optima. They did the little die-cast pull back model and more recently the MiniZ Optima so maybe it is a possibilty.

Then again, maybe I'm just being "Optimistic" :P

+1. Re-re or not I'd buy one of those.


I wouldn't be surprised to see the Optima name shows up on a modern car though like they did with the new Scorpion. Could be that's the route Kyosho chooses to sell nostalgia.
When I asked them the question last Saturday at rcx that was the answer.

My vote goes for the Optima, Javelin and Ultima as their first re-releases.

I vote for something easier to crank out. How about a 4wd pan car, fantom? Or take the initial Tamiya route and bust out some plastic fantastics,, like the shadow or raider. I think though, that Kyosho is content with making entry level stuffs with classic names,, and of course vintage bodied mini Zs.
