■ About "New Year Tomica" Series

Tomica products for the New Year, focused on the themes of Japan and the New Year, were launched in 2013 with "Fuku Fuku Tomica," followed by "Kouhaku Fuku Fuku Tomica" in 2014, "Kabukimono Tomica" in 2015, "Tomica Mukashibanashi" in 2016, "Tomica Hyakunin Isshu" in 2017 and "Tomica Sho" in 2018.

• About Tomica

"Tomica," sold by TOMY Company, Ltd. was released in 1970 as Japan's first palm-sized domestic die-cast miniature car series, and it celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2020. At the time when foreign-made miniature cars were at the height of popularity, it was born out of a burning desire to see Japanese children playing with more familiar Japanese miniature cars. It is now loved by parents and children across three generations. Up to now, we have sold more than 1,050 different types of cars, a total of more than 670 million cars (As at January 2020).

In recent years, in addition to our long-standing products, we have expanded our lineup such as with our "Dream TOMICA" Series that collaborates with popular characters and contents and our "TOMICA Premium" Series of highly detailed collection models. In addition, in 2016, we launched full-scale licensing of the "Tomica" brand for adults. We have been expanding licensing to apparel, stationeries, daily necessities, etc. with the aim of making Tomica a brand that will be of interest to a wide range of people regardless of age or gender.
