Model History[]

A retool was issued in 2015 for easier assembly. The grille and fenders, until then molded with the body in zamac, became part of the plastic interior. The base was revised with an updated copyright year of 2015 as MB990. It resumed production until 2017 when the license to Toyota fell through. It then returned for 2022 as the license for Toyota had been renewed.

The following year, in 2023, a Moving Parts version with opening doors was introduced. This model does feature the grille and fenders as part of the zamac body section, however loses the side mirrors from the mainline for the opening doors.

Card description[]

  • The sun has risen over the ancient Mayan ruin, revealing a secret entrance to the infamous Bat Cavern. This treacherous cavern cannot be tackled on foot—luckily, your Toyota Land Cruiser with four-wheel drive can handle this rugged terrain. Finally the secret of the Bat Cavern will be revealed.
    —From the 2010 and 2011 Jungle Explorers cards
