Corgi International Limited (formerly known as Zindart International Limited) was a manufacturing company established in 1978 which in 1999 became owner of the Corgi brand after acquiring the independent company Corgi Classics Ltd..[5]

Corgi International consisted of three distinct brands (Master Replicas, PopCo and H2go) that manufactured movie prop replicas, die-cast scale model collectibles, and gift and toy products. The company also distributed trading cards and movie memorabilia through a separate brand.

The Company held varying licenses for entertainment franchises including Disney, Harry Potter, James Bond, Star Trek, Nintendo, Halo and The Beatles, amongst others.[7]
