Tomica / Tomy

MDC-R / MDC-K

Tomy, a Japanese company founded in 1924 is the second largest toy company in Japan and manufactures diecast models under the Tomy and Tomica brand names. The first diecast models appeared around 1970 and although Tomica is not a real 87th scale manufacturer (most of their models range in scale from about 1/64 to 1/112, the size of the box is fixed, thus the scale of the model is adjusted in such a way that the model fits in the box) they did make several actual HO scale models in the 1970s. Takara Co., Ltd. and TOMY Co., Ltd. have merged in March 2006, the new company is called TOMY Company, Ltd.

In 1973 Tomy released a series of diecast tank modelkits equipped with rubber tracks under the 'Tomy/Tomica' brand name. The models were also sold preassembled under the 'Combat Tomica' label and each tank model came with 5 figures, snap on wheels and decals.
