Indeed it is a different variation. Will have to keep an eye out for the TW number and year. Thanks Dr Chris

Thanks Dr Chris

I have had several meetings with myself to discuss whether I should put the 4 R/C Tomica's in this List as they are very similar but are a tiny bit bigger. Now that you have Listed these here I have scheduled another discussion with 'the brain' and we think you are right, lets add them.

I do have the No. 4 Isuzu VehiCROSS  and its pretty cool. I have been after the rarest one No. 3 Land Cruiser Prado for years but have always missed out as this is rarely Listed.

apparently there is a yellow Toyota altezza. It came from a signal set.  




this may be a repeat but I am not sure.  A05 Nissan skyline gt-r

A List of Tomica World Motorized Vehicles
with some notes that may be of interest.
Part 1.

Nineteen different Tomica motorized vehicles were issued outside Japan under the Tomica World brand. Twelve of the nineteen were sold as individual items in blister packs with four-digit reference numbers in the 74nn and 75nn series. Of these twelve, four were also included in road/rail sets. The remaining seven were only available as part of a road/rail set.

Each different model of motorized vehicle has a TW number and a name printed on the underside. In some cases the name printed on the vehicle is different from the name on the blister pack, for example the red Nissan 300ZX has TW-06 NISSAN printed on the vehicle, but on the packaging it is 7475 SPORTS CAR (as well as equivalents in French, Dutch, German, Italian and Spanish).
 

Tomica World existed as a brand between 1998 and 2002. All the Tomica World vehicles are versions of the Tomica B series (B/O Tomica 1993-96) or A series (Motor Tomica 1997-99), re-labeled, re-numbered, and in some cases re-decorated for the international market.

TW-01 POLICE CAR(E), Ref.No. 7478, is a Nissan ZX300 based on the Nissan Fairlady Z Patrol Car B-02 (フェアレディZ パトロールカー), 1993.
 

TW-01 is also included in three sets: 7420 Basic Set, 7426 Super Set, and 7431 Basic Set (revised version).
 

TW-02 POLICE CAR(A) was only sold as part of U.S. Patrol Set 7414. It’s a Nissan ZX300 based on the Nissan Fairlady Z Patrol Car B-02(フェアレディZ パトロールカー), 1993.
 

I’m speculating that the (E) in TW-01 and the (A) in TW-02 stand for Europe and America respectively, since TW-01 is a British police car, and TW-02 is a US patrol car.

TW-03 ZOO-BUS was only sold as part of Large Set 7421. It’s based on the Amusement Park Bus A-06 (遊園地バス), 1997, but with different animals. The earlier B-14 had white wheels.
 

TW-04 TOYOTA TOWNACE was only sold as part of Mega Set 7422, and appears to be the same as the Toyota TownAce Noah A-12 (トヨタ タウンエースノア), 1997.

TW-06 NISSAN, Ref.No. 7475 SPORTS CAR, is a Nissan 300ZX, almost the same as the Nissan Fairlady Z A-09 (ニッサン フェアレディZ), 1997, except that it’s red rather than white. Although the earlier B-01 is red, it does not have the 300ZX logos on the doors.
 

TW-06 was also included in Deluxe Set 7433 and the (Tomica World USA) 1st Avenue Set 4820.
 

TW-07 AMBULANCE, Ref. No. 7471, is based on the Toyota Estima Ambulance B-04 (トヨタ エスティマ 救急車 ), 1993.

TW-09 DUMP TRUCK, Ref. No. 7474, is based on the Nissan Atlas Dump Truck A-10 (ニッサン アトラス ダンプトラック), 1997. The earlier B-08, though blue, lacks the painted detail and the NISSAN logo below the windshield.
