I did! My daughter would love that car.

I think I found my daughters next Vonats Ride. Might have to retire the frog.

Not feeling it. That has to be one of the most ugly cars I have ever seen. What a disgrace to the classic Hornet.

is that beetlejuice or the joker?

Joker, green and purple are his classic colours. I thought it would make for an easier on the eyes colour scheme.

I wonder if it would be worth anything in 20 years?

It's a Japanese store exclusive, those tend to have either awful color schemes or are entirely black.

As for value, maybe to a (very) select group of people...

Barney Junior?

I can't remember if Tamiya made neon green tires at one point.

Although the "godawful tire color"-idea seems to be spreading, as I saw some (normal, non-BMX) bycycle tires yesterday that were neon pink or neon blue...

Yup, not for me but I showed my 6 year old daughter and she said "YEEES!" Then my 9 year son with a full on race T4 said, "you would", and a fight pursued.

That sure is fruity

It's wack. I first saw it on Tblog and thought it was a joke, then one of their wacky creations... Then I realized it was real... Well, Tamiya makes all kinds of stuff for everyone. Every new release lineup I see at least 1 or 2 models I would like to have. And 1 or 2 that I would never, ever want. I've always liked Tamiya and I hope they keep re-releasing stuff. Even if it's not for me. But you gotta give it to Tamiya. Just about everything we ask them to bring back, they do. Who thought they would bring the Bruiser back? The Avante, Sand Scorcher, Rough Rider, ect... So what they want a million bucks for em.

I asked my 14 YO daughter if she wanted one of these cars and she said she would just paint it a different color!!
