" Imperial Toy Corporation is a North Hills, California-based toy company founded in April 1969 by Fred Kort, best known for producing rubber animals. One of their best known products is an articulated Godzilla action figure that is available in several sizes and was regularly seen in the sitcom, Roseanne. They also made a licensed toy of the alien from Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1978. Peter Tiger and Art Hirsch purchased the company from the Kort family in 2006, by which time the company had made over 900 products. It went bankrupt in 2020 and was acquired by another rack toy company, Ja-Ru, Inc. " -Wikipedia

Be aware that any version of this product manufactured after 1986 was imported from Mexico. Another sad story for this classic American toy company, but lessons can be learned about seeking out and supporting small businesses while they still exist ! " -MadeInUSAReview
