Takara Tomy has revealed a new lineup of Tomica toy cars that it will release in January 2026. The list also includes Dream Tomica cars inspired by characters from Nintendo and HAL Laboratory’s Kirby franchise.

These cars will appear with inspiration from Carby or Karby, which is derived from Kirby using the Mouthful Mode on a car in the Nintendo Switch game Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Takara Tomy is not the only company to produce merchandise based on that, as Medicom Toys had also released a Car Kirby toy in February 2025.

The Kirby toy cars will be available at 880 yen (~$5.75) apiece. However, they will appear randomly via a kuji lottery format inside blind boxes. A total of six character models will be available, with two designs set to appear for Kirby (regular and sleep) and Waddle Dee (regular and bandana), and Meta Knight and King Dedede filling the last two slots.

Kirby will not be the only franchise that gets new Dream Tomica toys in January 2026. The company will also release two My Hero Academia Dream Tomicas, modeled after Izuku “Deku” Midoriya and Katsuki “Kacchan” Bakugo, in the same month. However, the latter two products will be available for sale earlier at Jump Festa in December 2025 via Takara Tomy’s booth.

The Dream Tomica Kirby of the Star Collection will be available in January 2026.
