This month, though, Dream Tomica is dreaming of a beloved anime from outside the Ghibli catalog with a Pikachu car.
Pokémon to Doko Iku has been airing new episodes since the spring of 2022, so there’s a lot of pent-up demand for a Tomica version of the Pikachu bus.
Usually, toymaker Takara Tomy’s Tomica line of toy cars is all about recreating real-world automobiles in miniature form, basically Japan’s version of Hot Wheels.
There actually is a Pikachu-shaped bus that can be spotted on the streets of Japan, thought not in any regular dealerships.
