PROFILE |
 |
He who gains by the fad loses by the fad. Bandai hatched the Tamagotchi virtual pet a few years back, but the toy wasn't the trend it was cracked up to be. The company now has its hopes pinned on its popular Digimon toys (think "digital" plus "Pokemon"). Bandai's toy division also produces amusements such as the passé Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers action figures and Hyper Yo-Yos. Other divisions make visual software, amusement machines, and the WonderSwan handheld game console. The company produces animated films through its Sunrise studio and has a stake in Upper Deck (trading cards). Bandai markets US toy giant Mattel's toys in Japan; Mattel markets Bandai's toys in Latin America and has a 5% stake in the company.
