What this model is
Tomica Limited Vintage NEO LV-N253a Hino Blue Ribbon Tokyu Bus is a die-cast model in the Tomica Limited Vintage NEO (LV-N) line, released in Japan on May 2022. It models a Hino vehicle and falls into our bus category.
The LV Neo line tomica Limited Vintage NEO extends the TLV concept to cars from the late 1980s onwards — the Heisei-era machines that vintage buffs grew up with later: Skylines, Silvias, Levorgs, kei cars and everyday Japanese sedans with the same museum-grade detail as the vintage line. Models carry LV-N numbers, again with a letter suffix per colour variation (LV-N01a, LV-N01b…), plus numbered sub-series for tie-ins such as the Abunai Deka drama cars. New releases come out almost monthly, which makes NEO the fastest-growing corner of the TLV world.
