Miniature car figures come broken on purpose

We have seen plenty of weird miniature figures over the years, and while some of them have left us scratching our heads, none of them have been quite as unusual as this, the “Haisha Collection” (“Scrap Car Collection”). Beaten, battered, dented, and crumpled, these miniature cars probably won’t be high on anyone’s souvenir list…but then again, we might be wrong.

This six-piece collection is available in gachapon machines at various stores around Japan, including Bic Camera and Yodabashi Camera. The scrap cars include a minivan, sports car, compact car, and an “American” car, which seems to be a convertible you’d expect to find the ghost of Hunter S Thompson driving through bat country. There’s even a “scrap car block” that looks like a deformed brain.

You will be able to buy them from gachapon machines for 200 yen each.

An official tweet announcing the imminent release of the beaten-up vehicle miniatures wisely informs potential customers that “they come as scrap cars, so please don’t try to exchange them for new ones!”

Though they’re slightly unconventional, we can see these miniatures being pretty popular. Especially if you’re filming a stop motion short with lots of vehicle damage.
