Below are images of an intriguing model Volkswagen Fourgon (VW Bus) that initially, and perhaps originally, was manufactured by Majorette (exactly with this mold), which was produced by Mandarin factory in Singapore.







Recentemente descobri, através do site http://gogotomica.blogspot.com/2010/02/mandarin-toys-singapore.html, que a Mandarin produziu, além de aviões, outros modelos muito semelhantes (ou simplesmente iguais ou cópias) a modelos da Matchbox e da Playart...
Teria a Mandarin comprado os moldes destes fabricantes? Ou simplesmente os copiou?

Mandarin would have purchased the molds of these manufacturers? Or simply copied them?
