Tomica
Tomica (トミカ) is the line of die-cast toy vehicles and related products produced by Takara Tomy Co. of Japan (formerly known as Tomiyama and Tomy Kogyo Incorporated) since 1970 (Rixon 2005, 99). These seem to have been a by-product of Tomica World, a separate line of motorized trains, vehicles and accessories that Tomy produced since 1959. Tomica World motorized trains and track systems, are based on Plarail (About Tomica 2013). Tomica focuses mainly, but not exclusively, on Japanese brands.
== History ==
Tomy Co. of Japan was founded in 1924 by Eijira Tomiyama in Tokyo (Robinson 2010). The company produced various toys throughout its existence, but it was in 1970 that it started to produce the Tomica line of diecast vehicles as a result of the surge of interest in the global market in toy cars mainly led by Matchbox and Mattel's Hot Wheels (About Tomica 2013). Although models of various scales have been made, the term “Tomica” normally refers to the 3-inch sized vehicles. The regular Tomica name refers to the mainstream Tomica sold at the regular price—domestic series, foreign series, or common series, depending on the time of release. Tomy Corporation made its North American and European debut in 2010, under the Tomica brand.
