Where do the dates come from?

Historical entries draw on Tomica Wiki’s annual tables, series lists and model pages. Selected dates are cross-checked against Japanese model catalogues. Recent Japanese releases also use TAKARA TOMY announcements and official store listings. Release dates in other markets may differ.

Month-only entries show the original month and the third-Saturday placement rule. Models with only a known year are listed separately. Follow the references on each entry to check changes to an announced date.

When does the zodiac year change?

Dates change at midnight in Beijing. The sexagenary year and zodiac animal change on Chinese New Year. The time picker sets the viewing time. Releases follow the date announced in their market.
