We highlighted the new manufacturer ‘Almost Real’ and their 2016 catalogue back in early April. Since then we’ve had a few conversations with brand. First off we’ve attached the revised 2016 catalogue, note the missing McLaren and Mercedes-Benz brands. All is not lost as they told us that “Bentley, Benz, Land Rover and McLaren” are still on tap for 2016. Almost Real are actively working on licensing for other brands, but mum is the word on those at the moment.
Pricing for their models will be as follows: 1:43 would retail from $60USD~$90USD, while our preferred scale of 1:18 will be priced from $100USD~190USD. There are definitely some projects currently in the pre-production stage, we’ll hopefully share photos within the coming weeks.

I want one of those Bentley limos. Looks wicked !

I could not find anything on the Internet. Model would actually be the same (except some more precise finish-details, especially door-hinges and a significantly higher price), like the one from KYOSHO …
