Gold Crown Figures Our company does not officially exist yet, so the goal of our web site is to find out how much interest there is in our potential products. If all goes well, and we are able to clear any potential financial and/or legal hurdles, The New Helen of Toy Company will soon be offering a great selection of Exact Reproduction HO-Scale War Games based on the original Helen of Toy, Co. Product Line that was so popular with kids in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. We are currently in the process of making sure we are free and clear of any Copyright/Trademark/Patent issues; and we are actively trying to seek out any former principals, or their heirs/estates, who were involved with the original Helen of Toy, Co. So far it appears that there are no C/T/P issues, nor does there seem to be any former principals still living - but you never know, so the search will continue until carried out to reasonable completion in good faith. If you have any information that may help us in our search, please get in touch.

Once we have some new prototype games ready, we'll send them out to you for testing and we'll work with your feedback to develop the final versions of the games. OUR OPERATION Just so we are all clear on the "massive size and scale" of this operation, we want everyone to know that we'll be running the New Helen of Toy Company as a small, casual yet professional, home-based Labor of Love from a beat up but loyal old desk here in good-ol' Pasadena, CA. We are not out to become the next billionaire Toy Tycoons. We just want to have some fun and bring back some really neat HO Scale games before they are swallowed up by history and lost forever. Please help us in this effort by letting us know how you feel about our potential products.
Fighting Ships Figures The worst thing about the old Comic Book Toy Sets was the looooong wait for them to arrive. One thing I promise to change is that horrible long wait! Once we are up and running and actual orders are placed, we'll blast them straight to you by Priority Mail in 2-3 days. Guaranteed!

This is an early "Test Site" we have put up to help us with our "Feasibility Study" and our "Preliminary Market
Research." These are really just fancy business terms meaning we are trying to figure out if we can actually pull
this thing off (before we blow our limited budgets on a wild-hair idea and thus proceed directly to the Crash & Burn Phase.)
In the meantime, below is a list of the classic Helen of Toy War Games we'd like to bring back from the past. If
you follow the links, you will find the great original Comic Book Advertisements which so many of us saw and
loved as youngsters (and still get a big kick out of today!) You will also see images of some of our prototype
designs in development as well as some of the original H of T game sets too. Have fun seeing them all again!
All input, comments, suggestions, constructive criticism, investor interest, etc., regarding any aspect of our
planned operation is very welcome and absolutely valuable to us. Thank you in advance for your support and encouragement. We hope to hear from you soon.
