Tamiya x Kaido House Mini GT Chevrolet Silverado 'Clod Buster' Collaboration Die-Cast Model Control #130

This item is a 1/64 scale die-cast model vehicle housed in its original collector's packaging. The model is a collaboration between Tamiya, Kaido House, and Mini GT, featuring a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck themed after the iconic Tamiya 'Clod Buster' monster truck. The box indicates premium construction materials, specifically noting a 'Metal Body + Chassis', 'Alloy Wheels', and 'Rubber Tires'. Features include an opening hood and a highly detailed engine bay, showcasing high-level craftsmanship typical of modern adult-oriented die-cast collectibles. The color scheme is a vibrant red with classic Clod Buster yellow, blue, and black graphics, including the characteristic 'Clod Buster' mascot on the sides. The branding includes the Tamiya twin-star logo and Kaido House GT insignia. The packaging appears to be in 'new in box' condition, showing crisp edges and no visible denting, crushing, or fading, which is critical for value retention in the die-cast hobby market. This specific release is numbered //130 within the series, likely dating to the early 2020s. The graphics are sharp and accurately represent the vintage 1980s aesthetic of the original R/C truck it pays homage to, bridging the gap between retro R/C culture and modern die-cast collecting.
