Daiya
(Terai) was founded in Tokyo, Japan in the 1950s, like many
of the other great tin toy makers of the time, and produced
a number of great tin and plastic toys, including cars, military
vehicles, space vehicles, animals and robots, through
the postwar period. Daiya appears to have been most active
from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, after which they
disappeared from view. Daiya's current disposition is unknown,
but it is presumed to have succumbed to marketplace pressures
of the early 1970s.
