A brief history of Bullmark Toys of Japan:
Bullmark (ブルマァク) is a Japanese toy company that is most famous for selling PVC kaiju character toys in the 1960s and 1970s. They are also known for their die cast Godzilla related toys as well as tin windup toys. Founded in 1969 after the bankruptcy of pioneering toy manufacturer Marusan, the company was also known simply as Bull by many people as their logo of a bull was stamped on the bottoms of the feet of many of its toys. The company appears to have closed in 1977.
