DISM is a highly renowned model car brand operating as a specialized division under the famous Japanese hobby manufacturer Aoshima Bunka Kyozai. DISM is legendary among automotive collectors for its high-quality, premium 1:43 and 1:24 scale die-cast replicas, exclusively focusing on Japanese domestic market (JDM) car culture from the 1970s and 1980s.

DISM does not replicate European supercars or American muscle. Instead, their catalog is a love letter to vintage Japanese street machinery. They are most famous for hyper-accurate replicas. They also produce model aircraft, model ship and model Sci-fi mecha under Aoshima brand, along with finished toys under Skynet brand, diecast models under Miracle House brand, diecast cars under DISM brand and female statue figures under FunnyKnights brand.

True to their name, DISM utilizes die-cast metal casting for the car bodies, giving the 1:43 models a satisfying, heavy weight in the hand. They combine this metal body with highly precise plastic trim pieces, authentic paint codes, and meticulously detailed interiors reflecting exact factory or tuned specifications.

Because Aoshima primarily produced DISM models during the 2000s and early 2010s, the brand's models are largely out of production today. This has shifted DISM completely into a highly sought-after collector's market.
