Toys - Tonka

Tonka Toys. Even the name sounds tough. And we must not delude ourselves. Tonka toys were hard, in the good old days when toys were made to last particularly before or as they say, would be in their television commercials, "you are made of tough Tonka." Yes, every child has had his tough Tonka trucks. When did it all begin? How long has thrown these tough Tonka trucks?

Tonka began in 1947. The first trucks were made by a company called Mound Metalcraft.The company was in Mound, Minnesota, in a very small room. No, it was not what you want to call a big problem when it started. The company itself actually to produce and garden equipment, which had specialized as hard. In some technology and approach, are some of the toughest trucks ever started together.

In the first year of product Mound Metalcraft than 37,000 of these trucks drive. This despite the fact that only two designs.The two designs were an excavator and a crane. Oh, and if you ask Tonka is the word "great" in Sioux.

After World War II Tonka trucks popular with families after the war. The demand for these trucks was so great that it far exceeds production. One year limited company would be sold in a few months.

The whole premise of the company and a Tonka who refused to compromise was never that toys should be stable and theirGive your child's play as much as possible out of them. They believe that there was no reason their toys should not last for many years. And they did.

In the almost 60 years since the first Tonka Toy million of them have been sold 250 of the above. To date, their vehicles are made for anything you throw at them can resist. What started as only two trucks in a growing number of trucks and playsets.

Over the years there have been some wereMilestones in the legacy Tonka. It took more than 17 years since its first truck, but in 1964 the most popular truck, they have ever done, spending Mighty Dump. None of their trucks ever sold more units. Between 1965 and 1972 was what was the "Mighty age" called. This is when the Mighty Tonka series has grown tremendously, so that title as the Mighty Clam, Crane, Shovel, Scraper, Car Carrier, Bulldozer, Wrecker, Hydraulic Dump, Roller, Bottom Dump, Mixer, Loadmaster and Grader.These were some of the most popular vehicles ever.

Between 1973 and 1982 Tonka has more vehicles. This time we gave the Rescue Vehicle, Car Carrier, forklifts, backhoes, Buggy and adventure, believe it or not, the Mighty Winnebago.

Over the next 25 years for Tonka Toy produce quality products and accessories, such as Chuck My Talking Truck, the first call Tonka.

Promises to come up with Tonka trucks that are more stringent than thethose made 60 years ago.

This is a difficult act to follow.
