Update: Pocket catalog images from Mr.Wernpeng, via TJIANG.
Some really surprising new models are coming from Tomica in 2014, according to the latest updates to the AmiAmi offerings, complemented as always by the folks at Tomicafanclub. There are also some very interesting utility variations of already released castings.
I haven't seen the preview images from Tomica yet, so pictures of the real cars will have to do. I find it really interesting how Tomy is choosing cars from different brands, seemingly they want just a couple models from each car company out of Japan, but they also want to cover all carmakers, in all countries. I mean, they are making a Dutch Spyker, how cool is that! The list goes like this.
April 2014
Cars Tomica C-23 Tractor (Standard Type)
NO.11 SRT Viper GTS
NO.11 SRT Viper GTS (First Release Special Color)
NO.48 Suzuki Alto Patrol Car
NO.50 Ford Focus RS500
NO.50 Ford Focus (First Release Special Color)
NO.7 Subaru Impreza WRX STI 4door Group R4 Type
May somewhat of a dissapointment for me, as I'd rather see their latest generations done. I think there is no RS500 on the latest Focus (and this same car was already done by Hot Wheels), and while the Impreza could be a new car, it would make sense to redecorate the casting already on sale.
