During the late 1970s, the Japanese manufacturer Shinsei partnered with Cox in the United States to distribute their legendary Mini Power series. Highly prized by collectors for their exceptional build quality and mechanical realism, these models eschewed the standard friction motors of the era in favor of heavy, working metal parts, accurate scale proportions, and realistic structural movements that perfectly mirrored real-world construction equipment.
