Add a premier piece of Japanese toy history to your Disneyana collection with this highly sought-after Vintage 1988 Masudaya Mickey Mouse "M-1 Champ" 1928 Race Car. Produced in Japan by the legendary Masudaya Corporation (Modern Toys) under official license from The Walt Disney Company, this charming collectible beautifully celebrates Mickey's debut year of 1928 with a classic retro racer aesthetic.

The vehicle features a vibrant, multi-material build with a bright canary yellow metal body paired with high-grade molded plastic details, featuring Mickey himself sitting proudly behind the wheel in a racing suit. It utilizes a classic mechanical friction/pull-back motor to zoom across the floor. This iconic export-era toy is an exceptional addition for vintage character toy collectors, tin litho/diecast vehicle enthusiasts, or independent toy retailers curating a high-grade display wall of rare 1980s Disney collectibles.

Product Highlights

  • Authentic Japanese Craftsmanship: Proudly manufactured in Japan by Masudaya—one of the world's historic leaders in mechanical, tin, and battery-operated wind-up toys.

  • Clever Historical Design: Features the iconic "M-1 Champ" title on the side panels (a play on Formula 1 using "Mickey-1") along with his historic debut year "1928" stamped on the hood and rear trim.

  • Mixed-Material Construction: Built to last with a sturdy metal/diecast base shell and crisp, intricately sculpted plastic figures and engine block pipes.

  • Mechanical Locomotion: Runs entirely on a traditional internal spring-loaded friction motor—no batteries or electronic components required.

Condition Statement (Excellent Vintage Condition)

This vintage 1988 vehicle is in Clean, High-Grade Condition and has been beautifully preserved as a collector's shelf piece:

  • Friction Motor: Fully tested and in great working order. The internal gears catch smoothly, and pulling back or pushing forward engages the friction motor with excellent momentum.

  • Body & Paint: The canary yellow finish remains bright and glossy with minimal surface scuffing or paint loss. The stamped "M-1 Champ 1928" graphics are fully intact, crisp, and completely legible.

  • Plastic Components: The Mickey Mouse figure, tires, steering wheel, and chrome-colored exhaust pipes are entirely free of structural cracks, deep gouges, or sun-fading.

  • Storage Environment: Maintained strictly inside a smoke-free, pet-free, and climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, dampness, or extreme temperature fluctuations.

The most amazing blanket EVER!!!
I just got this yesterday and I’m obsessed already. It’s the softest thing I’ve ever touched. The reverse side is also a super soft velour-like feel. I got the Marble Charcoal Grey in 60x80. It looks exactly like the photos and it’s truly a bubble design too. Looks so good draped across my bed. And it’s HEAVY! Literally feels like a weighted blanket on top of being unbelievably soft and cozy. Now I want to get the largest size for even more heavy, snuggly bliss. I slept with it last night along with my normal blanket and I fell asleep much quicker than usual. It does shed a bit on my black clothes but I don’t even care lol. The packaging it arrives in makes it wonderfully gift-able and also lets you know it’s a women-owned company. Didn’t arrive with any bad smells either. All the stitching is immaculate, really everything about this blanket is. I got it on a Black Friday deal for $20% off at $51, it’s worth every penny and feels like a steal to be honest. The quality is unmatched. I’ll have to refrain from buying every single color!

Worth every penny
Color: Ivory White, Size: 90"x90"
This blanket is so soft and comforting, I just love it! It arrived sealed in a plastic bag and fluffed up instantly, I briefly put it in the dryer on low and it came out absolutely perfect. There was no odd smell, no loose threads, it was very well made and looks so inviting on my bed! Definitely a great buy that will keep you warm.

Definitely genuine pelts.
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural shape, Sheepksin, Oblong), Color: Ivory White
I like the color. Not too white, more of a natural shade. I ordered two, for each side of the bed. One is larger than the other which proves they are genuine pelts and I’m ok with it!!

Great small size rug
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural shape, Sheepksin, Oblong), Color: Ivory White
Size is great, I wanted to use as a throw on a leather ottoman and it fit great. It isn’t exactly the color I expected but it is a neutral cream. Soft and comfortable. Well made.
