Collectors, mark your calendars. September 1st, 2025, is set to bring another wave of excitement to the die-cast world as MINI GT and Kaido House announce four highly anticipated releases. Designed by legendary tuner and designer Jun Imai, the latest batch includes fresh takes on JDM legends and American muscle, with enough detail, attitude, and limited availability to make every collector sit up and take notice.
At Model Cars CC, we’ve got the early scoop on what’s coming and why this drop is already making waves among 1:64 enthusiasts.
What’s Coming: A Closer Look at the Four Models
Each of the four new models reflects the bold Kaido House design language that fuses racing heritage, exaggerated tuning, and a deep respect for car culture. Here’s what to expect from this September release:
1. Honda NSX Kaido Test Car Spec V1
Code: KHMG190
The iconic NSX gets a raw, pre-production makeover in the “Test Car Spec V1” edition. This release embraces a stripped-down, motorsport-inspired aesthetic with minimalist markings, aerodynamic tuning, and an industrial finish. The livery gives a nod to Honda’s original engineering ethos, while the Kaido House flair adds a rebellious touch.
Collectors of JDM performance cars will appreciate the balance between race-ready aggression and subtle elegance. It’s a bold tribute to one of Japan’s most celebrated supercars.
2. Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) Kaido Works ADVAN
Code: KHMG191
The R33 GT-R has long lived in the shadow of its R32 and R34 siblings — but not anymore. This Kaido Works ADVAN version brings the car into the spotlight with a dramatic black-red ADVAN livery, aggressive aero kit, and deep-dish wheels that scream street circuit credibility.
Designed to stand out in any display case, this R33 is a high-contrast, high-character build that showcases Kaido House’s unique ability to reinterpret classic tuner aesthetics in 1:64 scale. Expect this one to be a fan favorite.
3. Chevrolet Silverado Dually Vintage Spec V1
Code: KHMG192
Taking a break from JDM, this release dives into vintage Americana. The Silverado Dually Vintage Spec V1 blends muscle and utility, with a low stance, dual rear wheels, and a retro paint scheme that pays homage to late-’70s and early-’80s custom trucks.
With its exaggerated proportions and detailed bed, this model is an absolute standout among Kaido House’s recent non-Japanese releases. Whether you’re a truck collector or just love seeing bold castings executed with care, this one’s for you.
4. Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC10) Kaido Racing V1
Code: KHMG195
Known as the “Hakosuka,” the 2000GT-R is a sacred icon in the world of Japanese performance. This Kaido Racing version strips the classic silhouette down to its racing soul, with wide-body fenders, a deep front lip, and an uncompromising stance.
The livery is as pure as it gets: clean, minimal, and race-bred. It’s an homage to the roots of Japanese motorsport — a piece of history, retold in miniature with modern tuning elements that make it unmistakably Kaido House.
Limited Runs and Global Demand
All four models will be officially released on September 1st, 2025, and are expected to be part of a limited production run. Based on past releases from MINI GT and Kaido House, demand is anticipated to be high — particularly for the ADVAN-liveried R33 and the Hakosuka GT-R, both of which have strong followings in the global collector community.
At Model Cars CC, we recommend securing your pre-orders early to avoid the aftermarket surge in prices that typically follows Kaido House drops. Quantities will be limited, and certain models may be region-specific in availability.
Why This Release Matters
Kaido House continues to redefine what a 1:64-scale model can be. Rather than just replicating real-world cars, Jun Imai and his team craft visual stories — celebrating the spirit of modification, customization, and culture. With each release, the bar for small-scale car design is raised again.
For collectors, these four models offer not just aesthetic value but historical depth and cultural relevance. Whether you’re new to Kaido House or a long-time fan, this September release offers something compelling for every shelf.
