A short history of Masudaya Modern Toys (MT) of Tokyo, Japan. Masudaya was one of the leading builder of tin type mechanical and battery operated toys in the post-World War II era. Unlike many of their competitors Masudaya managed to survive to this day, due in part to their involvement in the airsoft gun craze of the 1980's.

They are mostly known for basically creating the "skirmishable" airsoft guns that could be used for combat simulations rather than target shooting. Masudaya normally identifies their toys using the M-T, or Modern Toys logo. Photographed on a 1 Inch Scale board - This is the item you will receive.
