Joe K. Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Date unknown, but finally a company name to go with the logo: You might expect the letters within the logo diamond to be M K H, but they are not. I have the King Robot in my collection, along with Missile Robot. I do not have their boxes, but the toys themselves simply have the word KOREA embossed on the backs; no logo. The MGH B/O SPACE SHIP appears to be a dead ringer for Masudaya's Space Ship X-7: As seen in this recently ended listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mystery-undated-1950s-60s-MGH-Limtoy-Songlim-Korea-MooKungHwa-TOY-CATALOG-/133223194545?hash=item1f04b89fb1%3Ag%3AKFQAAOSwc~dduhei&nma=true&si=v9m9znqphYNdIsyAZXBgNFFTBNQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 The Alphadrome Database contains these two other MGH robots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Joe, being married to a Korean, I find that in many cases, the Korean words we note as beginning with a "K", they actually pronounce as "G"; the city of Kwang Ju, is pronounced Gwang Ju...so they probably pronounced it as Moo Gung Hwa, which could explain the MGH in the logo.
