Tomica Cars

        posted by John Spacey, Japan Talk, March 01, 2012

Tomica are a line of die-cast toy cars that have been around since 1970. They were only sold in Japan until 2010. They're now sold in Europe and America. Tomika are found in (virtually) every toy store in Japan

Tomica are collected by both adults and children. Several rare production runs have become valuable collectors items. The manufacturer of Tomica (Takara Tomy Co.) sponsors Tomica festivals in Japan.
