Disney Pixar CARS: Tomica Toon CARS
Japanese CARS diecast license, Tomica has added some Toons to their lineup.
They are 1:64 scale so slightly narrower than US Mattel releases but generally most everything but the wheels are made of heavy gauge metal though in this case, I’m guessing the wings are metal but the helmets are plastic.
It’s not a very complete series as it’s a smaller market and they don’t do extra molds so they tend to do character versions where they can add extras parts to transform them such as Police McQ or Ivan Mater …
You can check out the full lineup here.
You can also download a mini poster PDF of their checklist at the top of the page (top right).

I love the tomica Cars. I wish I could combine the proportions and expressions of the Mattel ones with the quality of the tomica.
If you want to have some fun with the Japanese descriptions, go to this website (It’s safe; it’s google), cut and paste descriptions from the online catalog to the translator box and see what they actually say.

This is a really handy tool to have!
How long would they be?
These are pretty nice, where can I find them?
Japan or Hong Kong…..anyone on here from those areas? Feel like doing a little shopping?…
