The toy styles between New Ray Toys and the 1:18 Walmart Adventure Force/ Adventure Wheels toys look almost identical. Also, I know New Ray Toys also makes cheap 1:18 hunting sets that look similar to some of Walmart's tooling and they used to make X TREME adventure sets for Walmart.
So my guess is maybe New Rays toys makes Walmart's toys, or does Walmart produce unlicensed knockoffs of New Rays toys? I don't know, cause the tooling looks very familiar, and the prices are pretty close on the truck sets. If this is true it would finally clear up who actually makes the adventure wheel/force toys. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...c&rt=nc&_pgn=1 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...sacat=0&_pgn=1 -------------- (off topic) Apparently the BIG Farm Toyline is owned by Ertl, which itself is owned by Rc2 company, a subsidiary of Takara Tomy, the Japenese toy company. (This truck is nice btw) https://www.amazon.com/Deere-Chevy-D...big+farm+truck New Ray company is headquartered in Hong Kong, so it's likely a Hong Kong company similar to PlayMates Anson and Motormax and Dickie are pretty good companies too to search. |

A lot of Adventure Force is copied/knocked off directly from Chap Mei products. Likewise with Kid Connection. Under license? Since it's Walmart, who knows. In some regions, The Corps figures are even branded under Adventure Force. These ARE sold under license, and are identical to Lanard-branded versions.

I keep finding blatant knockoffs at Walmart, so I never have any idea if they're illegal or licensed product.
