Tomica Wikipedia
Tomica (トミカ, Tomika) is the line of diecast toy vehicles produced since 1970 by Takara Tomy Co. of Japan (formerly known as Tomiyama and Tomy Kogyo Incorporated) (Rixon 2005, 99). Ostensibly, Tomica diecast were an outgrowth of Tomica World, an autonomous toy line of motorized train accessories that Tomy had created based on Plarail and produced since 1959 (About Tomica 2013).
