tomica
Takara Tomy dreams up something that exists in the real world, but in a form that non-show biz people can own.
Tomica continues divergence from conventional automobiles in salute to Hayao Miyazaki’s anime adaptation.
Takara Tomy will introduce several neat new models in their spectacularly popular Tomica toy car line later this month, each based on Feudal-Era warriors and generals.
Busy looking for a last-minute Christmas present for your Pokémon-obsessed significant other? Look no further! This special edition Pokémon x Tomica collaboration arrives just in time for the holiday season. Just look at the detail and that beautiful, familiar shade of bright yellow. I’m totally forwarding this article to Santa (my older sister).
