The Toyota Coaster is a familiar name as a representative microbus in Japan. The first model appeared in 1969. The body design, which was surprisingly well-made for a microbus at the time, remained essentially unchanged until the model change in 1982, serving as the basic form for microbuses in Japan.
The high-roof specification was a body type added in 1977, with a redesigned chassis. TLV plans to release a new development in January, and this time, they will add the "Toei Mini Bus" specification, which is known to those in the know.

The Toei Mini Bus was operated between the north exit of Tokyo Station and Shimbashi Station from February 1974 with the aim of examining the ideal form of route buses in the city center.
All vehicles used were Coasters, but in 1980, the vehicles were replaced with the later model-based ones, and they were in operation until 1983. This later model is identified by its yellow body color. This time, we will be releasing this later model as a product.
The early model was once released by Tomica Dandy, and the productization of the later model is highly anticipated by miniature car fans.
