Since 1985, Litt Tak has been the silent engine behind Malaysia’s toy industry. As the official distributor for global giants like Bandai, Takara Tomy, and Spin Master, they are responsible for putting everything from Gundam model kits and Tomica diecast cars to Cocomelon and Shopkins on the shelves of major retailers nationwide. But the toy industry is undergoing a massive shift. Toys are no longer just for children; the "Kidult" market has transformed collectibles into a lifestyle necessity. To capture this demographic, the 41-year-old legacy business is helping global brand owners pivot toward experiential retail. In December 2025, Tomy and Toys "R" Us launched Southeast Asia’s first TOMICA Brand Store in Suria KLCC, with Litt Tak serving as the crucial local distribution anchor. Now, they are gearing up to facilitate Malaysia’s first-ever Gundam Base Store.



Tan Ee Chian, Executive Director of Litt Tak, talks to us about surviving as a "middleman" for four decades, the economics of these new experiential toy stores, and the challenge of managing a sprawling portfolio of global IP rights.
