China-based company that distributed micro toy vehicles under different brands. They use a sub-set of the same castings as Speedeez but some castings are exclusive to these brands. Many catings are heavily inspired by Funrise castings, some series like AutoKit World even use Funrise castings (with Charm Max branded base plates). There also exist Famosa-branded vehicles that use a sub-set of these castings. So far, their origin isn't clear yet though.
