Flourished 1945 - 1955?

Polk's have the guy down as G (for George Armstong?), but JG Garret gives him as 'EB Custer', and on this occasion I suspect Garratt to be the correct source, but stand to be corrected. Garratt reports him as an early sculptor of whitemetal (in those days 'lead') figurines of/from American History, presumably in 54mm. Painted by his wife Wilma, he flagged under the pressure of post-war imports ('from Britain'); presumably Britains and Timpo hollow-casts? He continued to help and advise others in the hobby, including such luminaries as Greer, Murry and Imrie (of Imrie-Risley fame).

Image has been recovered from a very bleached-out photostat-copy from the 1950's, so apologies for the state of it.

History A history of Blue Box is not easy, the company is still 'family owned' and quite secretive, it doesn't respond to eMails from collectors, and probably wouldn't want to talk about the amount of piracy in its early days, particularly as its founder was also its 'chief designer' at a time when most of its designs were er'hem . . . other peoples!

Apart from what little there is on the Internet (mostly about the factories) and the usual culling of product lists from modern retailers and eBay, the only decent source is Toy Town by Sara Monks (ISBN 978-988-19101-7-2) and I fully acknowledge the help of her work in the preparation of this entry. I also culled from two pages of The Rise of the New East by Ben Simpfendorfer, several HKTDC press releases and various obituaries published around the time of Peter Chan Pui's passing.

The company was formed by Peter Chan Pui a refugee/immigrant from Chiu Chow on mainland China as Tai Sang in 1952, the Blue Box branding coming later. Since Peter Chan's passing there has been a bit of a rewriting of the official history to establish that Blue Box were formed "with a vision toward creating a line of children’s toys and products that were educational, fun and safe.", but the truth is they were formed of necessity to save a group of workers from unemployment, and exploit a new technology, hopefully to make money!

Peter faced unemployment when the watch-maker he was working for went-under, borrowing money he bought his ex-boss's injection-moulding machines and started on a shoestring making household products ('homewares') and 'small animal' toys. Tai Sang translates as Together We Survive, a nod to the fellow ex-watch factory workers he took with him.

In the 1960's production was moved to the Western District of the Island where a lot of smaller plastic workshops were already set-up, at the same time he improved the type of  machines employed; to enable production of more complex mouldings/toys. He also started to pay-off the borrowed money and take sole control of the company.

It was around this time (late 1950's-early 1960's) that on a visit to the UK importer (US; 'jobber') Cecil Coleman Peter noticed Coleman's were repackaging his toys (which they bought from him in bulk) in nice boxes (not the equally common Blue Bow copies of Matchbox which are sub-piracies) before wholesaling them on with a large price mark-up. He decided to do likewise, and after returning to HK, Blue Box was properly born - the first official use seeming to be 1963, eleven years after they started trading. The resulting expansion included the first of the plants in Singapore, while the HK plant became yet more advanced.

During the 1950's and '60's the basic range consisted of piracies of popular European toys with Britains (plastics and hollow-casts), Corgi, Crescent, Barton (dolls houses) Dinky (die-casts), Elastolin (composition) Hornby, Jean, Kleeware, Lunby (dolls houses), Matchbox (die-casts), Merit, Merten, Triang and Triang-Mettoy's 'Spot-On' all being plagiarised to this author's knowledge, some regularly.

Hassenfelt (Hasbro), Marx and Mattel from the 'States also suffered, although Marx seem to have 'reached an arrangement' at some point, getting to carry small-scale Blue Box product under the Marx banner as Sunshine (wild west) and Majestic (farm) Series'. Other makers will have been plagiarised to provide the designs for the baby-doll and infant toy ranges. There may also have been cross-pollination on the Marx Miniature Masterpiece range and Blue Box's Military sets.

In 1969 Blue Box were in the first party of HK firms to mount an exhibition stand at the Nuremberg toy fair (against opposition) using an articulated lorry-trailer (US; 'tractor-trailer') in the car park! Blue Box's relationship with the Hong Kong Toys Manufacturers Association remains strong to this day, with 'CK' sitting on various professional and charitable bodies, while regular meetings of the Toy Fellowship (organisation of Christians in the HK toy trade) are held in the Blue Box offices, singing hymns in the lunch-hour!

The Nuremberg toy fair lorry had previously been used to hawk the wares of several HK toy companies in the former British colonies of East Africa (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) and one of the policies that has always been part of Blue Box's philosophy (and helped it survive downturns in the industry locally and globally) is the refusal to rely on the US market, they have a rule to never have more than 50% of production earmarked for the US buyers, and pride themselves on having dealt personally with a buyer in Fiji!

As it was a colony of the British Empire: Hong Kong companies like Blue Box cut their marketing teeth on the UK import market and would also have had strong links to the Australasian market, the US customers coming later as they (the Americans) looked to lower overheads by seeking product (and production facilities) in Hong Kong as costs/prices from their previous Japanese suppliers rose. As late as the 1980's, robots were marketed in the UK three years before being registered in the US.

The same caution led Blue Box to be slower than some of their rivals to move production into mainland china, leaving it until the late 1980's to begin the move, although nearly all production is now carried out in the three facilities in Guangdong (the last completed in the mid-1990's) a province adjoining the New Territories to the North West. The same caution ensured it wasn't until each factory was up, running and successful that the next one would be given the 'build' go-ahead.

They were also - with the 'Blue Box' branding model - one of the first companies in the Hong Kong industry to establish themselves as an independent brand, which lead to greater control over production, development and marketing/pricing, and has resulted in their current position in the toy market as one of the top global toy companies, both producing for other companies (contract manufacturing; Disney Stores) and using its completely autonomous design, production and marketing capabilities (vertical integration; Elite Command die-cast and vinyl, various scales) to maintain its position as an independent and successful own-brand manufacturer.

The partners admit that the business is very different today with 'professionalism' and design-lead creativity coupled with market knowledge having replaced the old system of trial and error; the margins are too tight to produce 10,000 units of something nobody wants, as the current CEO has put it. They also take care not to produce lines which might conflict with the existing lines of their clients - a far cry from the past. 

Early success was a doll that wet itself after a drink (the 'Drink and Wets' doll, a Tri-Ang/Pedigree copy?), requiring changing, and while I - as a toy soldier collector - follow the figures and to a lesser extent the farm and zoo ranges, they also had notable early success with their all-plastic dolls houses (based on the Barton/Lunby wooden ones), while 'CK' himself has a particular soft-spot for the infant toys. Construction toys, a range of large ornamental horses, larger dolls and more recently die-cast figures and top-end 'adult collectable' action figures have all been in the Blue Box oeuvre.

In the early 1980's a short war broke-out between Blue Box and Coleco, over the formers swiftly produced answer to the latter's 'Cabbage Patch Kids', called Flower Kids. Coleco probably had a good case, but with the Blue Box versions lacking a birth certificate/adoption papers (nor being placed in the same price bracket - tens of dollars against hundreds for a CPK), the case went BB's way, although Coleco kept up the pressure with lesser cases in individual US State's courthouses', as much to warn-off other parties as anything else.

Into the Modern Era

By the 1990's Blue Box stated their major export markets - after America - to be (1) Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, (2) West Europe (now; Bkids, UK), (3) East Europe, Middle East and Australia (4) other Asian countries, (5) Central/South America and (6) China Mainland, although in the intervening 20-odd years the Chinese (domestic) market size grew rapidly and continued to grow exponentially - the Chinese "...are big fans of plastic toys with light and sound" says Ringo Mak, who sees China and Southeast Asia as the future growth markets.

In the early 21st century, Blue Box set up a value-management division (BBVMO) specifically to approach the question of toy safety and to work with both clients and their own manufacturing plants in China to ensure all existing (and new) international and national standards are adhered to, and to facilitate converting existing products to the CCC standard mark required in mainland China.

This TQM (Total Quality Management) division is responsible for a continuous process of reducing or eliminating errors in manufacturing to streamline supply chains and improve the client relationship. It makes sure all BS, DIN, RoSH and CPSIA regulations are followed on things like phthalates and lead in paint and ensures all 7,000+ employees are properly trained, and properly protected.

At the time of writing (2015) the promised growth in the People's Republic is slowing. Blue Box, having originally commissioned an agent to represent them in China, had found the set-up didn't work-out, and are now using their own team of 30+ employees, based in Shanghai, to organise marketing, logistics and sales while selling predominantly on the mainland through an on-line sales portal called T-Mall.

In 2014 (Oct. 31st) they purchased Infantino LLC (a San Diego, California infant products company with 20 years experience (and contacts) in the US market) from The Step2 Company (apparently: the world's largest maker of rotationally-moulded (like blow-moulding - but bigger!) plastic play-equipment), the sale was handled by ROTH Capital Partners who served as financial advisor to Infantino.

The resulting structure is intended to concentrate on a group of brands; Infantino, B kids, Sun Zone, Wild Adventure (Nature's Own Jungle), BBI-Elite Force (1:18 and 1:6 military and 50mm tubs), Hello Kitty, B2 (electronic instruments and MiJam) and the original Blue Box (other musical, locking (money banks), licensed, cartoon character and all other/general toys), each of which will have a separate identity from the others.

The music and entertainments division B2 is aimed at teenagers and young adults with their own consumer spending power, MiJam's electronic drum sticks, guitars, and speakers for instance, can be used with MP3 players, iPods and smart 'phones, or streamed/uploaded to social media formats on the web.

Infant toy sales are particularly strong in mainland China, where education and development of the child are of great importance to the 'new' middle-class, 'CK' in talking of breaking into the Chinese market said: "Take it slowly. Try aiming for smaller markets in eastern China, where demand is high for quality goods. The region offers better opportunities for SMEs compared to first-tier cities in the southern region, which is dominated by domestic chain stores." (Interview with Hong Kong Toy Development Council (HKTDC) - 2015)

Their charitable work extends to customer countries and in the US they teamed-up with Room to Grow, a New York not-for-profit organisation, and through the Blue Box program 'B Kids Cares' contributed a portion of their profits to the provision of toys for underprivileged/deprived children in the New York and Boston metropolitan areas.

They also produce non-toy items such as a baby-alarm and monitor range and in the US B Kids works closely with BuyBuyBay.com to bring toys with key sensory, physical and learning properties to the 6-18 month-old age group.

Blue Box International Ltd., (as Blue Box Toys now operates) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Box Holdings Ltd., all known as 'Blue Box Group'; being a world class, totally integrated OBM (Own Brand Management) manufacturing, sales and marketing organization with over 7,000 employees in China and another 1,000-odd spread across Kowloon, Hong Kong; Singapore; Surrey, UK and Livingstone, New Jersey, USA.

Like most modern Chinese-based toy manufacturers, they also provide other companies with ODM (Own Development Manufacture) and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) services from their mainland China facilities; operating under international quality systems ISO.9001 and 9002, and their own internal quality management standards.

Redbox

Garratt states in his encyclopedia; "Blue Box/Red Box, Hong Kong. Plastic, 30/54mm. The first are piracies of models by Marx. The 54mm range, made in hard, metallic, plated plastic, and entitled ‘Famous Historical Characters’, comprises such an assortment as Robin Hood, Julius Caesar, Richard I, Henry VIII, Geronimo (with full eagle head-dress) and Lord Nelson, a ridiculous figure. No attempt at portraiture is achieved, although the card to which each model is attached states ‘Masterpieces by well-known top-notch artists’! Probably flagrant piracies of other plastics unknown to us."

He fails to go on to explain the second half of his entry: Red Box. They were the Blue-Box line/marque/brand for what my brother and I called 'Dummy-Men', the downscaled (8-inches to the original 12") Action Man/GI Joe blow-moulded rip-offs with five points of articulation, i.e.; cheap, doll-like, with non-articulated/fixed knees, ankles, wrists and elbows, and simple swivel-joints at hip shoulder and neck, rather than the full ball-joints of the Hasbro/Palitoy figures they were aping.

The Redbox marking was on the plastic equipments, not the doll, which was only marked Blue Box, so it might be fair to assume there was a separate company, which worked with BB on this line and was so brand-named to connect it with the older, established partner, but this is pure conjecture. There are other 'Red Boxes' out there which only add to the confusion, one re-releasing ex-Zee Toys vehicles in recent years (1990's) under a Motor City branding.

Early Moulds

There is some evidence of Rado Industries (Ri-Toys) having both inherited some of the old Blue Box (and Marx) moulds, and pirated others.

Listings

Due to the time passed, the amount of plagiarism entered into by Blue Box in the early days, the quantity of further copying practiced against them by their rivals, the amount of contract manufacturing undertaken and so on, any listing is going to be partial, messy and - due to the bias of the author - geared toward the small scale, military and/or figural.

I have therefore broken it down into thematic sections, annotated where necessary, and hope for future contributions to bring the dolls and other toys on board. Also I've further split it into vaguely 'Historic' and Modern era's, these are a tad flexible, but equate to a period from the 1950's to around 1979, and another from around 1980 to date.

The reason for this is threefold; firstly; collectors (of my generation!) tend toward the older stuff so it seems to make sense to have it in one place. Secondly, I don't follow the new stuff terribly closely, so that section is bitty, and finally, there seems to be little extant Blue Box stuff for the 1980's; after the era of the 'blue' boxes, they seem to have spent the 1980's contract manufacturing for K-mart, Fisher-Price, Target, Toys 'r Us, and Wal-Mart building relationships with them and generating the capital needed to move their production facilities to mainland China.

Vintage Era

===============================================================

Military - 1960/70's

25/30mm
The commonest packaging for these was probably the 'Mobile Combat Team' and its similar stable-mates; a small boxed set with either British, US or a mix of the two in green styrene, or the French Resistance fighters in a blue-grey plastic, each group of three to six figures being accompanied by an AFV.

These sets came in various packaging-formats from a box with two-sided window to full clear covered 'tray', an interim design of clear box with background card was also branded to Linda (possibly a German or UK importer-brand), they were preceded by earlier non-window sets of British only figures in grey or green (or both) and would be expanded into two, three and even four 'deck' window-sets, sometimes with different titles or a part title; 'combat' or 'combat team' &etc. A similar, but slightly longer version, tended to 2 vehicles and a few more figures, or an accessory or two.

As the 1960's slid into the 1970's the figures were made of softer ethylene, often unpainted. A few sets contained Germans with remarkable similarities in painting and sculpting to the similar Marx set and the sailors appeared in bigger mixed sets early-on, many issued as generics for Woolbro et al.. AFV's were the same for the 50mm sets and are listed after both groups of figures.

Identical brown-plastic versions of the British infantry were supplied to Tri-Ang (latterly: Triang-Hornby), smaller sub-copies - first in brown with unmarked bases, then new (grey) poses - could be assumed to be Blue Box but may not have been and the possibility remains that all three sets may have been sub-piracies by another HK producer? Markings on all small scale - were present - was a simple 'HONG KONG'

50mm

These larger figures used to be considered original sculpting, but a fair few of them do have origins elsewhere, namely the Marx 6" figures. They are not as common as the smaller scale figures and seem to have had less packaging variation too, the US and German sets are quite/more common though.

AFV's

The early vehicles were copies of British toys, and accompanied both 30 and 50mm figure sets, later vehicles were larger scale, lone-boxed toys more akin to other Hong Kong sparking, pull-back or battery-operated generics.

The Bedford RL or 'Big Bedford' a stalwart of the brush-fire wars of the 1960's and which would have known to the populace of HK from the UK-rotated and permanent Ghurkha garrison (probably copied from the Hornby/Dublo model), was later replaced in the range by the Bedford MK model (as it was replacing the RL in the British army), the MK therefore tends to appear in the larger multi-deck sets, which helps to date them as later sets; confirmed by the higher codes.

Farm

The problem with the farm is one of scale, the animals are easily identified from mint sets found at on-line auction sites and the like, but a lot of the sets contain both large-scale and small-scale items. Also, while sets might have animals in both sizes, the figures will be one size or the other, with most of the small-scale sets also being branded to Western importers/jobbers, and issued as generic - un-branded - rack-toys. As a rule of thumb, unpainted smaller animals (goats, lambs, rabbits etc...) from the large-scale range were issued with small scale sets, the opposite rule doesn't stand-up!

Most animals are Britain's piracies, with the exceptions of the small-scale horses and sows which are pinched from the Merit (now Model Scene) range of HO-gauge compatible model railway accessories and the pigs which seem to be relatively original in the small-scale, and copied from the - HK produced - Corgi pigs issued with a wagon-bodied, pick-up truck, livestock transporter in the large-scale. One item of Blue Box farm also copies Corgi calves, from a similar die-cast vehicle set.

There are many sub-piracies of these and similar, other HK animals, and Blue Box produced them for some time marked 'HONG KONG' and 'SINGAPORE', in various colours.

Myths

Origin of Name change - In the die-cast collectors world the story goes that the Blue Box branding came from the copies of Matchbox (Lesney) '1-75 Series' models in plastic (sold in little blue 74xx-coded 'matchboxes'), but the Cecil Colman story is from Peter Chan, so I'm afraid the other account is someone's fanciful construct, although the similarity to Lesney's packaging was probably deliberate.

Retirement of Yeung Chi-kong - At least one on-line source stated that 'CK' retired after the death of Peter Chan Pui (2013), however he was still representing Blue Box at Toy Fairs in January 2015 and as far as I know (2016) he is still Vice Chairman, showing Peter's son the ropes as he steps into his father's shoes.

33 Statuettes - Someone is going round the Internet suggesting there are 33 figures in the Historical Characters set and that they were originally 'limited' , there are only the 12 listed above and they are all relatively common (for their age) and well known; toys in the 1960's didn't have 'limited editions'.

Armoured Cars - Various commentators have mentioned both Stoat and Dingo for the Blue Box armoured car. Blue Box made a modal of a British post-war FV701/3C Ferret scout car for inclusion with their 30 and 50mm military ranges (copied by Marx (ethylene) and NFIC (styrene)) and a Daimler armoured car (with fantasy missile-launching turret loosely-based on a Malakra type thing) in their push-and-go range, the Stoat was a fictional/experimantal modern A/C from Matchbox in the 1970's, never copied by Blue Box, while they never made a Dingo (small open-topped WWII reconnaissance car) either.

What This Entry Needs

- Titles/locations/contact details for older Hong Kong factories

- Titles/locations/contact details for modern Chinese factories

- Better listings for both old and modern lines

- Nature of full relationship with Redbox lines

The listings are a mess, and will be given full re-writes from time to time, it would help if doll, or horse collectors, or one of the Action Figure/1:6th people could submit (with full acknowledgement), as that would help clean-up the areas where my own knowledge is seriously lacking!
