Make American Police Car Great Again – Rollin

從Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor到Dodge Charger再到Police Interceptor Utility，美國警車一直「愛國」，亦不時在荷李活電影中出現。不過，以往1/64比例的美國警車選擇不多，而且造工麻麻，Rollin正好針對這片空白抹上色彩。

「多年來各大品牌造JDM車款品量愈來愈好，但美式車卻無人問津。」2023年初創立的Rollin三位創辦人都是90後，而且都是姓林。他們三個都有十年車齡，不過當時美系警車造功一般，需要自己3D打印配件並重新噴漆，上網分享時獲得好評。「既然有這麼多人喜歡這個題材卻沒有廠家願意涉足，不如自己來做，做小車給自己玩，襄能滿足其他共周車友的需求，也許能賺些零用錢，一舉三得。」

Rollin致力生產細節豐富及將真車還原的精品模型，「我們會對真車的配置、塗裝、背景細節等做大量的考證，並結合生產能力去做一些取捨，在工藝及成本的能力範圍內盡可能去還原真車的神韻。」面對愈來愈多的競爭，林總表示仍然會保持初心，做自己喜歡做的題材。「很多商人在做產品時會考慮成本及模具使用率等因素，捨棄掉很多市場預期不太好的配置或閹割一些細節等，我們在開發時會為了還原某個特別喜歡的配置而專門去開發一款可能只會用一次就再也用不上的配件，並且會採用一些非常規的生產技術暫時拋開成本去完成某一款產品。」他們的原則是，要生產自己看都會喜歡，市場都會喜歡。

現時Rollin分為主線系列：按季出貨的可以開出隱藏款的盲盒系列，會有應急車輛、的士系列等，會有隱藏款式；經銷商訂制系列：由合作的經銷商夥伴提供題材並銷售的開窗盒的產品，會不定期穿插在主線系列之間發售；電影車系列：會推出一些熱門影視作品中出現的題材，如速度與激情、極品飛車等；不定期推出展會限定及節日限定產品。儘管目前市面上只有兩款車型在發售，經過了一年多的磨合與摸索，2025年將是大爆發的一年。

展望明年，Rollin已開發多款警車模具外，更開始涉獵經典美式民用車，並計劃更高級的高端系列。鍾情美國車的玩具有福了。

Reviving American Police Car Legacy: The Rollin Revolution

In an era where Hollywood continues to immortalize iconic American police cruisers—from the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor to the Dodge Charger and Police Interceptor Utility—a fresh protagonist has emerged in the world of automotive miniatures. Enter Rollin, a boutique model maker breathing new life into the understated realm of 1/64 scale American police vehicles.

Founded in early 2023 by three millennials sharing both surname and vision, Rollin was born from a passion for precision and nostalgia. “While the market has been saturated with impeccably crafted JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) models, American vehicles remained conspicuously overlooked,” reflects Lin, one of the founding partners. Their journey began with DIY modifications—3D-printed components and custom paint jobs on existing models—which garnered unexpected acclaim from fellow enthusiasts.

“We saw an opportunity in this void,” Lin continues, “to create something that would not only satisfy our personal quest for perfection but also resonate with a community of collectors yearning for authentic American representations.” This ethos of authenticity drives every aspect of their production process, from meticulous research into vehicle specifications to innovative manufacturing techniques that prioritize accuracy over conventional cost considerations.

Rollin’s portfolio demonstrates strategic sophistication through four distinct collections:

• Mainline Series: Seasonal blind-box releases featuring emergency vehicles and taxis
• Dealer Exclusive Series: Collaborative editions with select retail partners
• Cinema Collection: Tributes to automotive stars from “Fast & Furious” and “Need for Speed”
• Limited Editions: Exclusive releases for trade shows and seasonal celebrations

Despite currently offering only two models, 2025 promises to be transformative for the brand. Plans include an expanded range of police vehicle molds and a venture into classic American civilian cars, with a premium line in development. “Where others might compromise detail for profit margins, we’re investing in single-use components and unconventional production methods to capture the essence of each vehicle,” Lin explains, articulating their unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.

For devotees of American automotive culture, Rollin’s emergence signals a renaissance in miniature collecting. As they prepare to unveil their ambitious 2025 lineup, the brand stands poised to redefine expectations in the 1/64 scale market—one precisely crafted detail at a time.
