I'm mainly a Redline HW collector,so I know of the relationship with Mukys,and CIPSAs,and Regal GrandPrix cars, actually made from the old Mattel HW molds. Thanks for this info!

Es probable que no hubo un juicio entre Tonka y Rico (probablemente sólo abogados hablando)! Esta es una interesante, misteriosa relación, pero con algunos juguetes agradables producido.

Glad you like my blog.<br />Regarding the patent infringement, I think it is possible, there is not a lot of information on toy manufacturers from Spain available, not even in Spanish, and the information available from the original sources (like the book presented in #308) usually hide these kind of things that might spoil the good name of the company.

Regarding the Tonka-Rico relationship, I've heard from some U.S. Tonka collectors that Rico originally did not have a license to create the Tonka-style Sanson trucks, but were taken to court for patent infringement, after which Tonka worked with Rico to some degree in designing and labeling them as "Tonka Rico".

It looks like "Crazy A's" was translated to "Autos Locos". There were sold individually or in sets of four. Here's a picture of one of the sets of 4. http://tinytonkatoys.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Giancarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330036314340552815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999710032876763191.post-85015370894029784622015-10-26T21:26:05.873+01:002015-10-26T21:26:05.873+01:00Gracias por el comentario, es un juguete que segur...Gracias por el comentario, es un juguete que seguramente utilice mi hijo dentro de poco.
