By combining Tamiya’s products with Tomica, which share the commonalities of “car hobby” and “long-selling brands that have been loved for a long time,” this collaboration will bring together “fans of each brand and adults who used to play with each other.” This was realized with the hope that people would be interested in the brand.

The legendary machine “Avante Jr.”, which symbolized the mini 4WD boom of the late 1980s, and the special color “Avante Jr. Black Special” are expressed in Tomica.
