Tomica Story
Tomica. The birth of Tomica diecast began in 1970 under the nurturing hand of Eijiro Tomiya, the head of the Tomy Kogyo Company, Inc. of Tokyo, Japan.1 From the very beginning, the high level of detail, eye catching colors, quality construction, and superb craftsmanship distinguished Tomicas from many of other diecast lines. Tomica's humble start in the world of diecast began with an initial line of only six models: the Datsun Bluebird SSS Coupe, the Toyota Corona MkII, the Toyota Crown Super DL, the Toyota Crown Police Sedan, Toyota 2000GT, and the Datsun Fairlady Z432.
