Rossi and Toseland 2007 Minichamps announced!!

Back on 28th June I promised that as soon as Minichamps announced the 1:12 2007 Rossi Assen Yamaha, it would be plastered all over our websites. Well, this morning they announced the multi-coloured YZR-M1 (Product Code - PO73096), and within five minutes we had it available to pre-order! It’s already been a massive hit.

The replica will be a limited edition, although the edition number is to be confirmed, and it is a little dearer than other Rossi releases at £49.99. We don’t know if this is because of the complicated paint job or because of the new tooling that will be required to create the different fairings that Rossi ran with in that race.

Not to be content with that though, Minichamps also announced another groundbreaking release, James Toseland’s 1:12 2007 Honda Fireblade World Superbike (Product Code - PO71252). It’s great news that they have finally considered it worthwhile to invest in the tooling for the Fireblade, and hopefully in the future other Fireblades will follow. We are also proud to be able to offer this replica signed by James Toseland himself (Product Code - PO71252S). As an aside, his team-mate Roberto Rolfo’s Fireblade will also be available (Product Code - PO71244), but I can’t see that version being quite as popular!
