Literal who? Iโ€™m confused by all the death posts here lately when itโ€™s people nobody here would even know. If it was Todd or somebody like that, MAYBE Iโ€™d understand, but I have no idea who this guy is. Still, RIP I guess.

I need to go check out my backlog. I know I have a bunch of various Tamiya ones.

Everybody say thank you, Tamiya. Youโ€™ve saved so many of my ham handed toys and cheap broken toys from eBay.

Sadly no nostalgia with Tamiya. But it is still popular in the Philippines

Wait, did green-uniform Suletta include a crying face? Or is that custom?

>Literal who?
You've gotta be fucking kidding me...
Even if you haven't heard of one of the world's biggest model kit manufacturers or ever used their glue or paints, are you too retarded to type "Tamiya" into Google and put 2+2 together?
>Todd
The guy who buys baseballs from drug cheats and had a one hit wonder comic book that hasn't been relevant in 2 decades?

I never met a fellow nerd who didn't use Tamiya paints and hobby supplies on something. Plus the model kits were great.

RIP, man. Tamiya plastic cement has been an absolutely invaluable tool throughout my toy nerd life.

Saw the news recently. Giant F, the model industry owes a lot to him.
Fun fact: 1/35 is only a thing because Tamiya's original RC tank models were sized to fit a popular RC motor kit at the time and they worked out that scale. Their runaway success inspired other companies to make models in the same scale and the rest is history.
