Tokyo toy car exhibition series

Overview

In mid‑July 2026 Tokyo hosted a major Hot Wheels World Toy Expo that displayed more than 300 miniature cars. A few weeks later, a second large‑scale event – the Tomica Expo – was announced for early August at Ariake GYM‑EX. The Tomica show featured over 100 patrol‑car models running on a giant slider, alongside full‑size Toyota GR‑86 and GR‑Supra prototypes, a Patrol‑Car Museum, driver‑seat simulators, a Tomica assembly factory, design workshops and games. Both expos highlighted extensive interactive zones, brand partnerships, and ticketed entry, underscoring a coordinated push by toy manufacturers to present expansive, experience‑driven car‑toy showcases in Tokyo during 2026.
