Toymaker: Toplay

Toplay, formally known as Tokyo Plaything Shokai, was best known for its "three fingers" logo and initials TPS. Founded in 1956, they were a third tier manufacturer most active in the late 1950s and early 1960s. TPS was most famous for its stunt toys and colorful lithography. The company's current disposition is unknown, but they were assumed to have vanished in the late 1970s or early 1980s.
