2026 got off to a flying start for the OttOmobile team! We've just returned from Spielwarenmesse in Nuremberg, Europe's leading event dedicated to the world of toys and miniatures. Between exclusive prototypes, meetings with enthusiasts, and announcements of new molds, we'll give you the lowdown on this exciting edition.
Spielwarenmesse: The must-attend event for miniature enthusiasts.
The Nuremberg trade fair is not just any trade fair, it is a veritable institution that celebrated its 75th anniversary this year. It is the place where the future of your storefronts is shaped.
More than 175,000 m² dedicated to the world of games, spread over 18 halls. For us, it's all happening in Hall 7, the sanctuary of model making. The event brought together 2,313 exhibitors from 68 countries and nearly 59,000 trade visitors from around the world. This trade show is exclusively reserved for professionals. Its goal? To officially present the new products for 2026 and allow distributors to discover the future best-sellers in preview. Immersion in the heart of the OttOmobile stand.
This year, our booth was constantly busy. We were delighted to present our new openwork packaging, designed to show off your models to their best advantage.
The gems unveiled for 2026.
If Nuremberg is a good indicator of what's to come, the models on display set the stage on fire. Here are some of the stars that will be joining the OttO Club very soon: We made a big splash this year with prestigious 1/12 scale models. This scale allows us to take the details to the next level, and the feedback at the show was unanimous.
Lancia Delta Integrale HF Gr.A: The rally icon arrives in 1/12 scale!
Alpine A110 R: The radical version of the modern berlinette is joining our 1/12 scale range, so make room!
Pontiac Trans Am: The famous American car with its iconic “Firebird” on the hood arrives in 1/12 scale. A must-have for collectors of muscle cars and movie cars!
While 1/12 scale is impressive, OttOmobile remains above all the benchmark for 1/18 scale. It's in our DNA and at the heart of our collections. The Nuremberg show was an opportunity to unveil a variety of new products for 2026.
Japanese sports cars:
Japan was in the spotlight with some highly anticipated iconic models:
Toyota Supra GT500 JGTC: The legend of Japanese racing finally arrives in our catalog.
Honda S2000: The legendary roadster returns in a special edition with a color that won't go unnoticed.
Nissan Sunny: The nimble little sports car that will delight fans of authentic JDM.
The Renault Group at OttO:
Renault Espace 2: We continue to explore Renault's history with this iconic minivan from the 1990s.
Renault Wind: The big winner of our “choose your Club OttO 2026 model” contest made its first public appearance.
Dacia Duster: The new generation of the best-seller, reproduced here in a “Redust” version prepared in Germany.
The return to rallying
Hyundai Accent WRC: The World Rally Cars collection is completed with one of the latest models that had never been reproduced in 1/18 scale before!
Toyota Celica ST205: In its Castrol livery, this Celica ST205 returns in a night version to the delight of rally fans!
The outcome of Nuremberg 2026 is extremely positive. The vitality of the 1/18 and 1/12 miniature market is confirmed, and we look forward to marketing the models presented throughout the year.
