This is the first appearance of the Apex Replicas brand on DS.  Their latest effort is the 1:18 Holden Hurrican Concept Car.  The model is resin based, sealed, and comes in a premium display box.  Based on the initial images, execution proves to be on par, if not better than, the likes of GT Spirit and Spark.
