The product will be launched in 10 Asian regions (Japan, Mainland China, South Korea, Hong Kong SAR, Taiwan region, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam). The product will be available in Asian regions other than Japan in sequence.
Since its launch in February 2025, "tomica GARAGE," a stylish garage designed to showcase TOMICA collections, has become a popular series among adult TOMICA fans in Japan and overseas. The newly introduced "tomica GARAGE Smart STONE GRAY Standard Edition" is a smarter model that builds on TOMICA's cultivated expertise. In addition to the realistic shutter-opening function and interior lighting that mimics a real garage featured in tomica GARAGE, the new version expands its features with remote control functionality, six-color LED lighting, refined interior design, and synchronized operation across multiple connected garages to meet the growing demand for side-by-side display setups. It pursues further reality that sparks the playful spirits of adults and enables dynamic collection displays.
Tadashi Sasuga, General Manager of Global TOMICA Office, Brands Business at TOMY Company's Business Headquarters, says: "tomica GARAGE, which the company has proposed as a new way for adult fans to enjoy TOMICA, has become a major topic mainly on social media, drawing more reactions than we had expected from not only Japan but also other Asian regions. We are glad that the product has responded not only to the needs of consumers who want to display it as part of an interior design but also to the playful spirit of those who want to touch and play with it. It has evolved into a new version equipped with remote control functionality to open and close the garage shutters and change the colors of its in-house lighting. We hope that fans will display the product in their room and enjoy playing with it."
