Tokyo-based toy manufacturer TOMY Company, Ltd. has announced a new collaboration between its adult-focused tomica brand and the iconic Japanese comic Initial D, in celebration of the manga’s 30th anniversary in 2025.

Set for release in December 2025, the collaboration will feature four detailed die-cast playsets under the tomica PREMIUM unlimited range. These include a unique “Steering View” dashboard and car set replicating Takumi Fujiwara’s iconic driving scenes, the Fujiwara Tofu Shop diorama, and Koichiro Iketani’s Nissan Silvia (S13). The models are designed for collectors and fans who want to relive the most memorable moments from the beloved street-racing series.

The products will be available in Japan at toy stores, department stores, TOMICA SHOPS, online retailers, and TOMY’s official online store, TOMY MALL, with pre-orders opening on 5 August 2025. The line will also launch in 11 other Asian markets, including Mainland China, South Korea, Singapore, and Thailand, with plans for wider international release.

In addition to retail availability, TOMY will showcase the Initial D models at various events worldwide. These include Malaysia and Thailand’s AUTO SALON 2025, the Initial D 30th Anniversary 2 Days event at Fuji International Speedway in Shizuoka, and China’s All in TUNING 2025. A special edition “DREAM TOMICA Initial D SPECIAL SET”, featuring five iconic vehicles from the series, will be sold exclusively at these events.

The tomica PREMIUM unlimited line was developed for adult collectors, combining faithful recreations with the spirit of playful engagement. The sets offer both interior and exterior views of key scenes, allowing fans to fully immerse themselves in Initial D’s high-octane world.
