    "Life-Like" Pikachu Cars for Japanese Children

    For those unable to buy the real Pokemon VW Beetle, here are Pokemon toy cars. While Hot Wheels largely makes fantasy mini cars, Japan's Tomy makes realistic toy automobiles. From Hato tour buses and Japan Post mail trucks to Nissan Skylines and Honda Fits, Tomy's toy cars (called "Tomica") depict vehicles Japanese children are most likely to come in contact with everyday. Guess that explains these Pokemon wheels that come in yellow, blue and pink. They are a few years old, but I know that these toys are based off real autos like Toyota's Vitz. For the life of me, I cannot place them. A gold star to anyone who can.
