Tiny Cars, Big Dreams: ASAPCulture Brings Iconic Tomica Die-Cast Vehicles to US Collectors

Liberty Hill, TX – November 8, 2023 – ASAPCulture LLC, a new player in the collectible toy market, is making waves by bringing a slice of Japanese automotive passion directly to US enthusiasts. Located in Liberty Hill, Texas, this company is focused on importing and distributing Takara Tomy’s Tomica die-cast vehicle collection – those tiny, detailed cars that have captivated kids and collectors for generations. You might be thinking, “Tomica? What’s the deal?” Well, for those unfamiliar, Tomica isn’t just a toy car. It's a cultural phenomenon in Japan, and increasingly, a rapidly growing obsession here in the States. For over 50 years, Takara Tomy has been crafting these incredibly detailed, 1/64 scale vehicles. And we’re not talking just about standard cars. Think real-world vehicles, concept cars, emergency vehicles, and even popular characters in car form! “We noticed a real gap in the US market,” explains the team at ASAPCulture. “Dedicated Tomica fans were either paying crazy prices on eBay for imports, or simply weren't able to get their hands on the latest releases. We decided to change that.” ASAPCulture is aiming to become the go-to source for Tomica collectors in the United States, offering a constantly updated inventory of new releases, limited editions, and sought-after vintage models. What Makes Tomica Special? It’s easy to dismiss these as just another set of miniature cars. But Tomica boasts a few key features that separate it from the competition. First, the detail. Despite their small size, these cars are remarkably detailed, with accurate representations of headlights, taillights, grills, and interior features. Collectors will appreciate the effort Takara Tomy puts into recreating these vehicles. Secondly, the variety. Tomica doesn't just stick to everyday passenger cars. You'll find everything from fire trucks and police cars to construction vehicles and even trains. They constantly release new models, ensuring there's always something fresh to collect. And let's not forget the collaboration models – special editions featuring popular anime characters, video game franchises, or even other brands. Thirdly, the build quality. These aren’t flimsy plastic toys. Tomica cars are primarily made of die-cast metal, giving them a substantial weight and a premium feel. They're built to withstand play, but also to look great on display. ASAPCulture: More Than Just a Retailer ASAPCulture isn’t just about selling Tomica cars. They're building a community around the hobby. They’re active on social media, sharing updates on new releases, showcasing collector displays, and interacting with fans. “We want to create a space where Tomica enthusiasts can connect, share their passion, and learn more about the hobby,” says the company. “We’re planning to host online contests, giveaways, and even virtual events to engage with our community.” Their online store (details available on their social media channels – a dedicated website is in development) is designed to be user-friendly and easy to navigate, with detailed product descriptions and high-quality photos. They offer a range of shipping options to ensure that customers receive their purchases quickly and safely. What's Currently Available? ASAPCulture’s initial inventory includes a diverse selection of Tomica models, catering to a wide range of interests.
