DORMEI IS THE BEST! (1983 Continuing exploring this 1983 Hong Kong Toy Trade publication, this week, we focus on the DorMei Factory, famous for making rubber dinosaurs, giant bugs, and Sharks that were often sold by marketed by American companies like Imperial Toys.

REMCO AHI MAKE IT HAPPEN I recently found a Hong Trade catalogue from 1983 highlighting the toy manufacturers of the era. I plan to share pages from this book for the rest of the year. Our first subject is Remco/Azrak Hamway International. At this time, the manufacturing was done by a company called SOMA traders […]

Remco may have been the leading “Label Slap” toy company […]

Sporting a jaw-dropping cover by Peter Carsillo, this issue also features the craziest “subscriber prize” we’ve ever attempted. More on this next week during the Lincoln Monster DeadStream. […]
With the announcement that Bandai is releasing the Jumbo Machinder line starting with Mazinger-Z, I just had to dig up this early 1970s toy flyer with the toys themselves.
