1988 Takara Tomy Tomica No.25 Mitsubishi Jeep Bigfoot Silver Made in Japan

🛞 A Classic Japanese 4x4 with Bigfoot Attitude

Discover a distinctive piece of classic Japanese die-cast history with the Takara Tomy Tomica No.25 Mitsubishi Jeep Bigfoot. Originally released in January 1988, this striking vintage Tomica transforms the rugged Mitsubishi Jeep H-J58 into an exaggerated Bigfoot-style off-road vehicle, complete with oversized wheels, a raised stance and unmistakable period Tomica character.

The silver version is particularly eye-catching, pairing its metallic-looking body with contrasting red detailing to create the bold appearance that makes this vintage Tomica instantly recognisable.

🚙 The Mitsubishi Jeep Bigfoot

Based on the Mitsubishi Jeep H-J58, the No.25 Bigfoot was developed from the earlier Mitsubishi Jeep model and adapted into Tomica's distinctive Big Tire style.

The result is dramatically different from an ordinary miniature Jeep. The enlarged wheels give the model a lifted, adventurous appearance, while the open-style body and compact proportions capture the unmistakable character of a classic Japanese off-roader.

Tomica introduced the Bigfoot as the successor to the No.25 Mitsubishi Jeep H-J58, giving the popular No.25 designation a much more rugged interpretation.

🏔️ Big Wheels. Big Character.

The defining feature of this model is its oversized Bigfoot wheels.

The large tyres give the miniature an imposing stance and emphasise its off-road personality. Combined with the silver body and red accents, the model has a wonderfully authentic late-1980s Tomica aesthetic.

This is exactly the kind of unusual vehicle that makes vintage Tomica collecting so rewarding: a familiar Japanese 4x4 transformed into something much more adventurous.

🇯🇵 Made in Japan

For collectors of vintage Tomica, the MADE IN JAPAN marking is an important part of this model's identity.

The Japanese-made No.25 Mitsubishi Jeep Bigfoot is documented as No.25-3, with the chassis carrying the Mitsubishi Jeep H-J58 identification and MADE IN JAPAN marking. Japanese production began with the model's January 1988 release. Later examples of the No.25 Bigfoot were also produced in China, making the Japanese-made version a distinct production variant for collectors.

⚙️ Classic Tomica Features

Despite its small size, this Tomica incorporates several of the functional details that helped define classic Tomica models.

• 🛞 Oversized Bigfoot wheels
• 🪟 Movable window frame

⭐ A Fascinating Piece of Tomica History

The No.25 Mitsubishi Jeep Bigfoot has a surprisingly long history within the Tomica range.

It was released in January 1988 and remained in production until November 2001, making it one of the longer-running versions of the No.25 designation. During that period, both silver and red versions were produced.

The casting also became the basis for several other Tomica releases, including the Mitsubishi Jeep Bigfoot Leisure Car Set, Mitsubishi Jeep Tomica Safari Set and Mitsubishi Jeep Bigfoot Tomica Kuji II.

That history makes the No.25 Bigfoot more than simply an old miniature Jeep — it is a model with a notable place within the evolution of Tomica's classic off-road vehicles.
