That's right, my first Tomica diecast is a forklift.
It's the Geneo 35 Hybrid, by Toyota. This Japan-only hybrid forklift was the only Tomica that caught my eye that was actually in stock at Tractor Supply Company, as they were sold out of the Toyota HiMedic ambulance and the Mini Cooper.
If I hadn't seen this, I would have left with a Johnny Lightning XJ Cherokee with a lift kit instead.

But I was dedicated to getting a Tomica branded model. It was between this and a Yoshi Mario Kart...cart. Winner was the Geneo.
Besides, it's something different, and it's technically JDM, since it's only offered there.

Plus, it's got a working lift. Gotta love that.
So, that's it. My first Tomica is a forklift. I'm more than happy with that.
