This Tamiya Brocken Gigant is my most favorite mini-4wd car from the anime Lets & Go!!
Tamiya Brocken Gigant Premium front cover
I once had a bootleg of this when mini-4wd was a craze in Philippines back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Don’t get me wrong, it is still popular to this day especially in Asia.
This mini 4wd car model looks exceptionally good, at least to my opinion. It reminds me of the Dark Knight Batmobile, which I thought was a really cool armored vehicle design I’ve ever seen eventhough its a bit clunky.
If you’ve been looking at my collection you will see a pattern emerging; I like tanky and bulky forms of structures both on mech figures and mini-4wd cars.
This particular model is a premium version of the regular one that came out in the late 90s. I plan on obtaining the regular version and review the difference against this premium version.
