Celebrating Initial D 's 25th Anniversary

25 Years of Initial D

Your Favorite Initial D Cars Now Available as Detailed Brick Models

Shuichi Shigeno's Initial D has gained much popularity among manga fans and auto enthusiasts due to its meticulous attention to detail and realistic style. The show strongly emphasizes technical realism when portraying street racing in rural Japan in the 1980s and 1990s. Just by watching it speed across the massive mountain passes of Central Japan, fans are already quite familiar with the handling and technological peculiarities of the Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86. The manga describes how each vehicle is handled throughout their thrilling battles, even for those who have never driven one.

The cars you adore are faithfully and adequately presented as brick models in the Mocmodel Bricks Initial D series, which recreate that experience. The Initial D models have the precise appearance and feel that fans, amateur bricklayers, and auto enthusiasts anticipate because both the automobile manufacturers and the manga rights holders license them.

The two Mazda RX7 (FD3S and FC3S) versions driven by the Takahashi brothers, Takumi Fujiwara's iconic Toyota 86 TRUENO, and Takeshi Nakazato's Nissan Skyline GT-R are currently included in the series. They are all scaled at 1:12.5 (between 1300 and 1500 bricks) or the smaller 1:24 (up to 300 bricks).

Detailed and customizable for display and playing

The most accurate representations of the manga's primary characters—the cars—are found in the 1:12.5 scale replicas. Similar to how the manga depicts the vehicle being modified throughout the narrative, the reproductions enable each automobile to be constructed into two variants. You can replicate the pre- or post-upgrade version of your car that you like best.

The builder can construct the models from a brick creator's perspective for the exterior, balancing technical and aesthetic aspects. The panels are intricate and appropriately colored for a seamless finish. The interior is designed in a sophisticated technical manner to accommodate real-world systems and operations. To enable some realistic playing activity, the models even allow the installation of a battery box and RC module for remote control.

Smaller scale for scene recreation and casual play

With up to 300 pieces per model, the 1:24 scale models provide an affordable brick construction option for casual Initial D manga fans and auto enthusiasts. With precise measurements in respect to one another, fans may readily gather the Nissan Skyline GT-r, Mazda RX-7, and Toyota 86 TRUENO for exhibition and informal building. A collecting card is included with every automobile.

Location, location, location…

In Initial D, cars are significant. However, they do so in the context of places essential to many people's lives. Two of the most important sites that appear in the manga as intricate 1:24-scale brick models are already available in the Initial D Scene series: the carpark, where important events in the manga take place, and the Fujiwara Tofu Store, where Takumi quietly developed his prodigal driving talents.

Because both sets are in the same 1:24 scale as the smaller automobile models, collectors and diorama builders will have many options.

As a BrickHead model, you can now collect five characters. Alongside Takumi Fujiwara, the world's most well-known tofu delivery guy, are the Takahashi brothers, Kyoichi Sudo, the team Emperor leader, and Fujiwara's girlfriend, Natsuki Mogi.
