Three Toyota Avanza Diecast Toys by Tomica for Kids

When talking about Toyota vehicles, most people tend to discuss the Camry, Land Cruiser, Prius and so on. YES, they are all flagship Toyota vehicles, earning worldwide recognition for both quality and sales performance. However, if asked about the Toyota Avanza, many people would struggle to give a clear answer. What’s more, quite a few people mix up the Toyota Avanza and Toyota Venza as their nameplates look remarkably similar.

The 1st generation Toyota Avanza was launched in 2003. Jointly developed, produced and marketed by Toyota and Daihatsu, it goes by various nameplates besides Toyota Avanza. For example, this model is sold as both the Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia in the Philippines. It ranked as the country's best-selling vehicle every year from 2006 to 2019. whats more, statistics show that combined sales of the Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia accounted for 22% of the Philippines' total automobile sales in 2013. Consequently, these two vehicles are a common sight on roads across the country.

If you own a Toyota Avanza, have you ever considered gifting your child a diecast model of this car for their birthday or as a reward for good school performance? As far as I know, diecast toys and models based on the Toyota Avanza are quite rare on the market. For such a gift, your only options are the Toyota Avanza Veloz car toy made by Tomica.


 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look at displayed pictures, all these three Toyota Avanza Veloz toys are based on the 2nd generation Toyota Avanza Veloz which is different with the 3rd generation Toyota Veloz redesigned as a standalone model.

You can select any one in silver, black or white based on your child's preference. Notably, the white Toyota Avanza Veloz toy car is an Asia-exclusive model as it comes with different original package and is priced slightly higher than the other two color variants.

The toy car features an openable trunk and rolling wheels. In terms of both design and size, Toyota Avanza Veloz toys by Tomica are perfectly suitable for children aged 3 to 8.

Toyota Avanza Diecast Models at Different Scales for Collectors

In yesterday's post, we introduced three Toyota Avanza Veloz toy cars by Tomica , which are ideal items for kids aged 3 to 8. However, if you are diecast model collectors, you will think these Tomica replicas fall short of collectible standards. For instance, they are not fitted with rearview mirrors which is common among Tomica cars. While this is not a defect, it keeps the models from being perfect. In the diecast model market, the only Toyota Avanza model suitable for collectors is a 1/43 scale model, as shown in the pictures below.   This 1/43 scale Toyota Avanza model is the replica works of 2nd generation Toyota Avanza released in 2011 with codename F650. They are manufactured by the famous brand Kyosho but marked as the RIMS brand. You can choose your favorite one among blue, black, brown and gray. In addition to the 1/43 scale model, if you are looking for a 1/18 scale Toyota Avanza model, the answer in NO, but you can select its variant as replacement. As we mentione...

Two Toyota Prius Diecast Toys With Pull-Back Function for Kids

In previous post, we’ve introduced a few diecast Toyota Prius toys, including models by Tomica . However, most of them come in a small scale such as 1/60 scale with limited play features, so they are not the best choice for everyone. This is especially true for children around eight years old, who prefer toys in a larger scale with more functions. If you’re struggling to find suitable toys, here are two larger scale Prius toys with pull-back functions for your reference. Why diecast car toys with pull-back function are so popular among kids of all ages? In short, it is easy to get playing pleasure, because of the built-in spring mechanism, when playing, just pull the toy backward gently, release it, and it will race forward quickly. Meanwhile, many diecast car toys are usually made of sturdy materials, safe for young children to play, so kids can be enjoyed anywhere at any time. Many pull-back car toys also have realistic looks and movable parts. Toyota Prius Toy by Kinsmart   ...

Only One 1/18 Scale Toyota Corolla Cross Model for Collectors

 When people ask which are Toyota’s most successful models, the Toyota Corolla is always on the list. First launched in 1966, the nameplate celebrated its 60th anniversary a few years ago. Over these six decades, it has gone through 12 generations, each one a classic in its own right.  However, today I’m not going to talk about the Toyota Corolla. Instead, I’ll focus on a model with a similar name that is Toyota Corolla Cross. When it first hit the market, many people assumed it was simply an SUV variant of the Corolla, given its shared “Corolla” badging. This is not the case, though. While the two share part of their name, they differ drastically in body style, off-road capability and interior space layout, making them two entirely distinct vehicles. The Toyota Corolla Cross was first launched in Southeast Asian markets including Thailand in 2020, before rolling out to other markets such as China, and arrived in North America in 2022. Judging by its body size, it slots betwee...
