Another quality Japanese model house, Specializing in fanciful vehicles from past, present and future, Doyusha has secured licenses for a number of great titles that might have been overlooked or lost.
   

The ASTON MARTIN DB5 Kit

Who wouldn't love to take a little spin in this baby? Streaking down back alleys and takin' out the evildoers! This is another great rendition of the classic 007 spy machine, with all the appropriate gadgets and devices.

The GERRY ANDERSON Kits

Shows like Stingray and Thunderbirds were just as huge in Japan as they were in the UK and the US, and hundreds of toys were produced. Bandai made dozens of great crossover toy/models.

The JAPANESE CASTLE Kits

These are just so totally interesting I had to add them, even though they are not particualrly creepy or kooky. I suppose you could imagine them as places of bloody cruelty, like a Kurasawa film...Throne of Blood?

The SHOW RODS Kits

These were actually repops of the Eldon show rods from the late 1960s. Many of these designs inspired the creations of other toys like Sizzlers and Hot Wheels.

The WESTERN Kits

Here's a nice set of historical models. They're really more toy-like than true scale kits, but charming nonetheless. I particularly like the stagecoach kit.
