Pop Race Diecast: JDM Icons, RWB Widebodies & F1 Liveries in 1:64 Scale
Ask any serious 1:64 collector which brand nails JDM nostalgia best, and Pop Race comes up almost every time. Between Skyline GT-Rs, RWB widebody builds, and officially licensed F1 liveries, the brand has become a go-to for collectors who want their shelf to tell a story — not just look good.
What sets Pop Race apart
Pop Race isn't chasing every category at once. Its catalog leans hard into a few areas it's genuinely known for:
- JDM legends done right. The Nissan Skyline GT-R shows up again and again in Pop Race's lineup — from the R33 NISMO 400R in the brand's signature Dark Chrome Series to the KENMERI-generation Skyline GT-R V8 Drift build.
- RWB widebody builds. Pop Race has released multiple colorways of the Porsche RWB 997, a favorite among widebody and Rauh-Welt enthusiasts.
- Officially licensed F1 liveries. Beyond road cars, Pop Race produces 1:64 F1 models — including the Aston Martin Aramco AMR23 in both its Cognizant “Boss” and Valvoline liveries.
- American muscle, too. The catalog isn't JDM-only — the Shelby Mustang GT500 appears in both black and silver, giving Pop Race a genuine cross-genre range.
- A collector-friendly price point. Most standard 1:64 releases from Pop Race sit in the ₹1,800–₹2,400 range, making it one of the more accessible “premium JDM” brands to start collecting.
Notable Pop Race releases
If you're building out a Pop Race shelf, these are worth knowing:
- Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 NISMO 400R — Dark Chrome Series (1:64) — a standout finish that's become something of a signature look for the brand.
- Porsche RWB 997 (1:64, Purple or Yellow) — widebody styling in two distinct colorways.
- Skyline GT-R V8 Drift, KENMERI (1:64) — a nod to the classic Kenmeri-generation Skyline, reimagined with a V8 drift build.
- Aston Martin Aramco AMR23 — Boss & Valvoline liveries (1:64) — officially licensed F1 models for collectors who want motorsport alongside road cars.
- Shelby Mustang GT500 (1:64, Black or Silver) — clean, accurate American muscle to round out a JDM-heavy collection.
Pre-orders: how Pop Race releases work
Like most premium diecast brands, Pop Race runs many of its releases as pre-orders (models like the Pandem Honda S2000 and Singer Targa are typically listed this way) before the final production run ships. Pre-order pricing usually starts as a small deposit, with the balance due closer to release. If you're chasing a specific Pop Race colorway, it's worth checking pre-order listings regularly, since popular releases (especially RWB and Skyline variants) tend to sell out their allocations fast.
