This is weird request, but does anyone know if there are any toys/models/etc. of the final-gen Tercel? Ideally the BlackHawk trim but I’m getting the feeling that quite possibly there are none at all so beggars definitely can’t be choosers.

Don’t have posting privs on LaLD so posting to Oppo.

Thanks

Try looking on sites like eBay under the name Corolla II and Corsa their JDM names apparently. I just found a couple on there that way. Seems that a company called Yonezawa Toys made one model but it looks to be an early gen.

Looks like you’ll have better luck than me. There’s not a single 2nd-gen US-spec Escort model, period. Nothing of the equivalent Ford Laser, either.

And the only Kia Souls are ~$100 at least.

That’s too bad. My Grandmother drove a 2nd gen North American Escort GT (asymmetrical grill!), but for kid me, the Merkur XR4Ti was close enough to represent that (in addition to just being cool looking in general).

Well damn.

Still a bit steep for the level of detail, though. It would need to be the right color with the right wheels for me to get it.
