About Nikko
Nikko is a legendary radio-controlled toy brand with nearly 60 years of heritage, renowned for making some of the most beloved RC cars of the 1980s and 90s and still thrilling children today. ## RC Pioneers Since 1966 Nikko launched their radio-controlled vehicle line in 1966 and began full manufacturing in 1973. By 1977, operations had expanded worldwide with manufacturing plants across the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, and New Zealand. This global reach established Nikko as a household name in RC toys. ## The Golden Age of Toy R/C During the late 1980s and early 90s—considered the "Golden Age of Toy R/C"—Nikko was home to iconic models like the Frame Buggy, Dictator, and Land Shark. Despite competing with heavily-advertised rivals, Nikko built a devoted following. Those who owned Nikko RC cars swore by their quality, and European collectors particularly cherish vintage Nikko models today. ## A New Chapter In January 2019, Nikko Toys Ltd. became the new home of the Nikko RC brand, continuing the legacy after Toy State International ceased trading. The company now designs and manufactures the Nikko RC range alongside Road Rippers and Machine Maker brands, bringing modern features to the next generation of RC enthusiasts. ## Nikko at UK Supermarkets Grocefully helps you compare Nikko RC toys at UK supermarkets including Morrisons.
