The Toyota Prius by Tomica

Here are a few examples of the various Toyota Prius models that Tomica has made. If I find others I'll just update this post. If any of you readers have a Tomica Prius diecast you want to share, please email to me toywizard@gmail.com.

Here are two examples of the 1st Generation Prius.

This lavender one comes as part of the regular series and was discontinued a long time ago.



The white one comes from a Toyota 30th Annversary Gift set which features this Prius, a Celica, a Previa and an Echo / Vitz.




A little bit of trivia. TheTomica #86 1st generation Prius was very popular in Puerto Rico during the height of their diecast drag racing craze. They found this model to be pretty heavy and it made for a worthy competitor.



Here we have the second generation. There are two versions here, the Blue one which us the first or special color as denoted by the markings on the box - the extra letters under the name.




And the second one which is the regular color.


Of course this post would not be complete without a link to good old Wikipedia which features the Toyota Prius here
