(We at Model Roundup view the following Press Release with enthusiasm. This announcement does not really represent a big change as Round2 was already controlling the brands mentioned through licensing agreements. However, this does represent a big change in that Round2 now takes ownership of the tooling and licensing rights which, in our opinion, gives them the flexibility and security to make long range plans and investments. Tom Lowe is "one of us", a guy who grew up in the '60's and loves these kits and this hobby as we do. The team around him is the same. Once again, this is exciting news for all of us who love this hobby) SOUTH BEND, Indiana - 11/30/2011 - Round 2, LLC, announced today that they have acquired all rights to industry leading model kit brands AMT, MPC and Polar Lights from TOMY International, Inc. (formerly RC2 Corporation). Round 2 acquired the brands from TOMY International after manufacturing branded model kits under a licensing agreement since 2008. "We've had a great relationship with TOMY International for a long time and it has been a pleasure working with them as a licensee and now as a buyer," said Thomas Lowe, President of Round 2 LLC. "We feel extremely fortunate to be acquiring these brands," continued Lowe. "These are some of the industry's most iconic brands and our acquisition represents a significant strategic fit with our initiatives and where we believe the industry is headed, in the near and long term. This deal is a win for Round 2, TOMY and most importantly, the modelers." "We are pleased to have been working with Round 2 as a licensee the last 3 years, and now as the buyer," said Pete Henseler, president of TOMY International. "We wish them continued success in the model kit business and expect their expertise and passion for the hobby model kit business to drive these brands in the years ahead." The history of the model kit brands goes back as far as 1948 when AMT, which stands for Aluminum Model Toys, was founded as a promotional toy company. Model Products Corporation, MPC, was started in 1963 and focused on bringing even more automotive subject matter to market in kit form. Founded in 1996, Polar Lights has focused on figural, horror and pop culture genres. The acquisition gives Round 2 tooling and materials that date back into the 1950s. The tooling and artwork also represent an opportunity to bring back classic model kits in original-styled packaging, increasing the desirability and nostalgia. "I grew up building models. Not in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined I'd someday own the brands I was building as a kid," said Lowe. About Round 2 Round 2, LLC is an innovative collectibles company located in South Bend, IN. The creative team at Round 2 is dedicated to producing detailed, high quality collectible and playable items appealing to the young and young at heart. Round 2 brands include Polar Lights, AMT and MPC model kits, Auto World slot cars, Forever Fun seasonal products and the licensed brands American Muscle, Ertl Collectibles and Vintage Fuel die cast.
