Corgi
The Corgi legacy is a rich & complicated one, beginning in 1934 with parent company Mettoy of Swansea, South Wales. In 1956 Mettoy merged with Playcraft Ltd. to form Mettoy Playcraft Ltd. In 1993, Mattel bought the Corgi brand and attempted for a short time to maintain the tradition of producing Corgi quality collectible toys. Shortly afterward, employees of the British manufacturing center reportedly bought back the Corgi Collectibles line. Corgi, now dubbed Corgi Classics, has was purchased in July 1999 by Zindart, an American-owned company based in Hong Kong, will it survive the onslaught of Hongwell etc, only time will tell.
