Jada Toys, Inc.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jada Toys, Inc. is an American manufacturer of collectible scale model cars, figures, radio controlled model vehicles, and dolls. It was founded in 1999 by Jack and May Li. Jada's products are predominantly aimed at the collectible market, and are available and popular at retail outlets worldwide.

The company has or has had license rights to market products from a wide range of entertainment companies and franchises as well as sports associations, including DC Comics, Disney, Marvel Comics, NASCAR, NBA, WWE, Fast & Furious, and Hello Kitty, among others.

History

Founded by Jack and May Li in 1999, Jada's first toy was a 1:24 scale die-cast 1953 Chevrolet tow truck, part of their Thunder Crusher line. Though the Chevrolet tow truck toy and other lines proved successful, the company remained in obscurity until the introduction of the urban-themed DUB City brand. Launched in collaboration with DUB Magazine in 2002, the line presents officially licensed vehicles with custom rims, lowered ride height and special in-car entertainment systems. Dubs, so named for their 20-inch or bigger wheels, are among the company's best sellers and the most visible in retail outlets.

The company launched the DUB City spinoff Chub City in 2005. Targeted at a younger generation of collectors, the line included heavily stylized vehicles and a story told through webisodes and comics. The human characters featured in the story inspired toys of their own. By 2007, the line had done over $12.5 million in sales and was featured in a Burger King kids meal promotion. In 2009, Jada sold the brand to Dentsu Entertainment; who, in conjunction with Fuel Entertainment and Nelvana, planned on launching a $15 million 52-episode animated series in late 2015. At the time of the sale, Chub City toys had sold over 20 million units.

Branching out of automotive licensing, in 2008 Jada Toys teamed up with Activision to release the Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker. The toy consists of a belt buckle, a portable speaker and two guitar picks. Waving the pick near the buckle lets the user play air guitar to one of ten songs (five licensed tracks) such as Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" and Boston's "More Than A Feeling." Two cartridges that add additional songs were also released.

In 2011, Jada entered the girls category when it received a license to produce Hello Kitty play sets and remote-controlled cars. This was followed up with the company's own line of fashion dolls called Cutie Pops in 2012 and the RC line GirlMazing in 2014.

Jada became the master toy licensee for the RoboCop reboot in 2013. In 2014, the company gained the rights to produce vehicular toys based on Jurassic World and the Fast and Furious series.

2016 saw the introduction of the Metals Die Cast line of figures. Based on various licensed entertainment properties, Jada offers the line in 2", 4" and 6" scales. The company planned to release over 150 Metal Die Cast products in its first year.

On January 29, 2019, the company was acquired by Simba Dickie Group.

Homie Rollerz

Homie Rollerz is a 2008 kart racing game developed by Webfoot Technologies and published by Destineer for the Nintendo DS. The game is based on the plastic figurine line Homies by American cartoonist David Gonzales, and follows ten different characters from the figurine line racing each other in a competition set up by an elderly man named Vato Wizard, who has the ability to grant wishes.

Homie Rollerz was received generally negatively by critics, and has been one of the lowest-rated games on review aggregator Metacritic. The game was criticized for its difficulty, and have described the game as having poor game design and derivative content.

Gameplay

Homie Rollerz is a kart racing game where the player plays as one of ten different selectable Homies characters in several race tracks, based on the Homies universe. Each character has a unique vehicle, with further customization options being purchasable with "respect points", the game's currency, obtained by performing tricks and winning races.

The game's main mode is called Wizard Circuit, where the different Homies characters race in a competition set up by Vato Wizard, who promises to grant a single wish to whoever wins the cup. To progress through the mode, players must place first in a series of races. The game also has a multiplayer mode that supports up to eight players via a local wireless connection, although multiplayer with up to four players was also possible with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Development and release

Homie Rollerz was developed by American video game developer Webfoot Technologies, in partnership with cartoonist David Gonzales. In an interview with Destructoid, Gonzales stated that he had been attempting for years to find a publisher with faith in the idea of a video game based on the Homies figurine line. Eventually, Gonzales found Destineer, with who he would begin working with shortly thereafter.

Homie Rollerz was first showcased at PAX 2007, along with a playable early version of the game. The game was initially intended to release in fall of 2007, although it was delayed until January 2008, then delayed again till February 27, and then delayed again to March 5. The game released exclusively in the United States.

Reception

Homie Rollerz received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to review aggregator Metacritic, where it was the 17th lowest-rated game in January 2019, with a Metascore of 23/100. GamesRadar named Homie Rollerz the worst Nintendo DS game of 2008, calling it an "unfinished catastrophe".

Critics have described the game as derivative, especially of Mario Kart, and have criticized the controls due to a lack of precision. Jack DeVries of IGN wrote that the game controls "with less precision than a shopping cart with three missing wheels". Nintendo World Report mirrored DeVries criticisms, calling the controls "jerky and disorrienting". Critics have also disliked the game's camera, which has been criticized for shifting with all of the player's turns.

Homie Rollerz has been frequently criticized for its "ridiculous level of difficulty". Zachary Miller of Nintendo World Report noted the game's difficulty as one of its most disappointing aspects, due to the player's AI opponents being able to make sharper turns, in addition to criticizing the game's low draw distance, which made it harder for the player to memorize and read track layouts.
