The Launch-Only Red Tesla Model 3 From Tomica
Tomica has been making pocket-sized diecast cars in Japan since 1970, and its numbered range follows the cars people actually see on the road. In December 2024, the Tesla Model 3 joined the line-up as No.98, modelled on the latest-generation Model 3 with its slim headlights and smooth, minimal nose. When a new car joins the Tomica range, the first production run is often released in a special colour, known in Japan as 初回特別仕様 (first edition special specification). For the Model 3, that colour is a deep red, sold only at launch while the regular model continues in white. With working suspension and the full Tomica box, it is a sought-after piece for collectors and a bright standout for young EV fans.
Product Features:
- First Edition special colour: the launch-only red version of Tomica No.98, produced for the first shipment only.
- Modern Model 3 design: captures the updated Model 3 shape with its sleek front, flowing roofline and aero-style wheels.
- Working suspension: press down on the body and it springs back, just like every classic Tomica.
- Diecast metal body: solid, weighty feel that stands up to everyday play.
- Free-rolling wheels: smooth enough for racing across the floor or a Tomica track set.
- Collector-friendly box: comes in the classic Tomica box with First Edition marking, ideal for display or gifting.
- Pairs with the white regular edition: display the red First Edition and white regular No.98 together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scale is the Tomica Tesla Model 3?
It is approximately 1/63 scale. Tomica sizes each model to fit the standard Tomica box, so scales vary a little from car to car.
What is a Tomica First Edition?
A First Edition (初回特別仕様) is the first production run of a new Tomica model, released in a special colour for launch only. Once it sells out, the model continues in its regular colour. For the Tesla Model 3, the First Edition is red and the regular version is white. We stock both.
What does the number on a Tomica mean?
Regular Tomica are numbered 1 to 140. When a new car joins, it takes over a number from a retired model, so each number has a history of different vehicles. No.98 became the Tesla Model 3 in December 2024.
Is Tomica suitable for young children?
Tomica is made for ages 3 and up. The diecast body is sturdy for play, but the small size means it is not suitable for children under 3.
