We’ve seen huge demand from enthusiasts already.” What is Tomica? A Quick Run-Down. For those unfamiliar, Tomica (pronounced toh-mee-kah) is a long-running series of die-cast vehicles produced by Takara Tomy in Japan. Launched back in 1970, Tomica quickly became a cultural phenomenon, beloved by kids and car enthusiasts for its accurate modeling and affordable price point. What started as a series of Japanese domestic market cars quickly expanded to include international vehicles, construction equipment, emergency vehicles, and even quirky themed sets. Think of them as miniature, super-detailed versions of the cars you see on the road. They're small – typically around 3 inches long – but packed with realistic features. And they're tough. Tomica cars are known for being incredibly durable, built to withstand hours of play (or years of display!). More Than Just a Toy – The Collector's Appeal While Tomica are fantastic toys for kids, they’ve also developed a huge following amongst collectors. Here’s why: Variety is the Spice of Life: Tomica boasts an insane number of models. From classic sports cars and everyday sedans to police cars, fire trucks, and even limited-edition releases, there’s a Tomica car for everyone. New models are released constantly, keeping the series fresh and exciting. Attention to Detail: These aren't just generic car shapes. Tomica cars are painstakingly modeled after real vehicles, with accurate proportions, realistic paint jobs, and detailed interiors. Collectors appreciate the dedication to authenticity. Collectibility & Rarity: Certain Tomica models are highly sought after by collectors, due to their rarity, limited production runs, or historical significance. These can fetch significant prices on the secondary market. The thrill of the hunt is a big part of the fun. Affordability (Generally): While rare models can be expensive, the majority of Tomica cars are relatively affordable, making it easy to start a collection without breaking the bank. Displayability: The small size and high quality of Tomica cars make them perfect for display. Many collectors create elaborate dioramas and showcase their collections on shelves, in cabinets, or even in custom-built displays. What's Available From ASG Consolidated? ASG Consolidated is bringing in a comprehensive range of Tomica models, including: Basic Tomica Cars: The core of the Tomica line – a wide selection of everyday cars, sports cars, and trucks.
