A Little History on Eidai Grip Corp: Eidai's real genius, however, was their "bottom-feeding" license-buying scheme. By making their
toys smaller and cheaper than anyone else's, they were able to secure the rights to all sorts of characters that'd already been scooped up by bigger companies. Companies like Popy , Bullmark , and Takatoku made most of their toys within two standardized scales, "standard" and "deluxe." Eidai focused most of their energies on souped-up mini-sized diecasts, a market share all but ignored by the big boys, and as such they managed to work without much direct competition at all. In fact, their concept of miniaturizing without losing attention to detail makes their toys total stand-outs even today.
