FLASHY JIM
Maker: Sankei/SNK
JAPAN circa 1955
SNK
Founded 1950's
Tokyo/Japan
...
a small time Japanese toymaker.Little else is known of SNK, and it's position
remains unclear.
"SNK is best remembered for it's line of blocky,primitive looking silver robots with entertaining names!
SNK
is not another name for Sankei-it stands for Shin Nichi Kogyo. (Kogyo is japanese
for Industry). Sankei's full name is Sankei Kogyo. Obviously they collaberated
on the Sparkling Mike/Sankei television and Robot 5-but until concrete evidence
shows up-I do not believe that they are one and the same".
Thanks to Steve,for the valuable information.
Flashy
