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.

Absolutely worth the money!
Size: Left Facing, Size: Left Facing
I can't say enough about these spice racks! I have kept my spices in a corner cabinet on lazy Susans for the last 25 years and that's worked great, but it did not have much curb appeal and some spices were in the middle of the caddies so I would have to pull the front ones off to get to the middle ones. Corner cabinets are tricky and can be such a waste of space, but I made it work. But now it doesn't just work, it sings! My husband bought me 4 units and they fit perfectly in the space. Whoever designed these racks thought through EVERYTHING. The labels are well organized with plenty of obscure herbs and spices as well as all the common ones, and some blank stickers for the products they don't have labels for. There is a list of all the spices and which page you will find the label. There are also small corresponding labels to put on the ends so you know which rack has your spice (I haven't put those on yet because I want to make sure I have everything where I want it first). Since I have 4 sets of labels, I used some for labeling the baskets where I have the extra spices for refills. The racks are sturdy and easy to install. These would also work well in cabinets that are not corners - you would pull them straight out and it would make it easy to access all of your spices. If I could give this 10 stars, I would.

Fabulous!
Size: Left Facing, Size: Left Facing
I wish I had remembered to take a picture before I emptied my spice cabinet. Actually, on second thought, it would be embarrassing to share. I have two of these sturdy slide-out spice racks and could use another one. The racks were not hard to install, slide smoothly, look great, and my spices are in order! I was able to fit two of them on one side of my cabinet. I love the jars and labels. I use some spices much more than others so I put the matching labels on the large containers of these spices and keep them on the top shelf. I would definitely buy these again!

Clever Space Saver with a Few Caveats
Size: Left Facing
This spice rack system really helped bring order to the chaos in my cabinet, and it looks great doing it. The vertical design makes spices visible and accessible, and the included 20 jars and 801 labels are a huge bonus for customization. 🧩 Easy to Install, But Drawer Direction Matters Setup is fairly simple, but take note: the drawer only slides out in one direction depending on which version you buy (left or right facing). As a reviewer noted on page 6, it’s not reversible, which can be a headache if your layout changes or you order the wrong orientation. 🪛 Build Quality is Solid but Assembly Could Be Smoother The frame is sturdy and feels well-made, but you’ll need to screw the rails into the base — and the screws included aren’t the best. One user suggested bolts instead of screws (page 6), and I agree. A little more care here would elevate the overall experience. 🌶️ Jars and Labels Are Fantastic This is where the system really shines. The jars are glass with metal lids and fit perfectly in the rack. The label set includes multiples in several fonts, blank ones, and even a chalk marker — very thoughtful! ✅ Pros: Excellent use of vertical space for spice organization Looks polished and professional in any cabinet Tons of labels and customization options ❌ Cons: Drawer slide direction is fixed — not reversible Screw quality is mediocre Installation requires precision (and patience) Overall: This is a well-designed and space-saving spice rack that delivers on organization and aesthetic. If you're mindful of the fixed drawer direction and take your time during install, it's a great buy for transforming messy cabinets into a neat, labeled setup.

Great solution to a crowded cabinet
Size: Left Facing, Size: Left Facing
This kit is a game changer. Saves a ton of space in the cupboard, and although there is some "flex" when you pull it out, it really is very stable and holds up well against frequent use. It is super easy to find the spice you're looking for with the easy to read labels, and I think they have a designated label for just about every spice imaginable. Regardless of what cuisine you cook, I think you'll be able to organize your collection in a really aesthetic, high visible way, while reclaiming some cupboard space.

Love it! Can’t wait to buy a second one!
Size: Left Facing, Size: Left Facing
Worth every penny!! This rack is pricy, but it’s awesome. Definitely wish the price was a little better, but I still plan on buying a second one to fit more of my spices. Super easy to install and the glide feature is really smooth. Bottles and lids are quality material and overall really pretty design. Love that it comes with TONS of spice label options for every spice you could imagine! Fit in my standard depth cabinet that is 12” deep (and I have inset cabinet doors and there was still plenty of room for it). You can easily pull it out and read the labels.
