Inspired by Tokyo's vertical parking lots, Parksible offers humidity control and 3D scanning for Hot Wheels collections
Fun-Tech-Lab recently launched Parksible, a high-tech display and storage system aimed at collectors of miniatures at 1:64 scale, such as the popular Hot Wheels. The device, which simulates the traditional automated vertical parking lots common in metropolises such as Tokyo, is a sophisticated solution for those looking to unite organization and preservation of collections.
Unlike conventional racks, Parksible is a robotic structure with capacity for up to 14 vehicles. The system prioritizes the conservation of the models by offering an environment with strict temperature and humidity control, avoiding paint wear and drying of plastic components caused by prolonged exposure to air and dust.

The great technological differential of the professional version of Parksible is its integration with the brand’s digital ecosystem. When loading a vehicle into the garage, the system performs a detailed 3D scan, generating a virtual replica accessible via the app. This functionality allows the collector to catalog and view their fleet remotely from their smartphone.
The equipment can be coupled with other products of the company, such as the Windsible wind tunnel and the Runsible platform, forming a dynamic showcase. According to the manufacturer, the goal is to transform the act of collecting into an immersive experience, bringing the hobby closer to real automobile engineering technologies.
The project became a sales phenomenon on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. With an initial goal of US$ 11 thousand, Parksible surpassed the US$ 500 thousand mark raised (approximately R$ 2,5 million in direct conversion). Currently, the launch price for supporters is US$ 499 (about R$ 2.520). Although the manufacturer admits that the product is a non-essential luxury, the success of the public confirms the demand for premium accessories in the collector’s market.
