| dbo:abstract | Britains, earlier known by the founder's name W. Britain, is a British toy brand and former manufacturing company known for its die-cast scale models of agricultural machinery, and figurines. The company was established in 1893 as a toy soldiers manufacturer. With its factory set in London, Britains then diversified into other associated toys such as die-cast zamac military trucks, commercial vehicles, and toy cars. Today, the Britains brand is owned by Tomy since 2011, and the W. Britain brand by First Gear, Inc. (en) Britains estas entrepreno kiu fabrikas ludilojn inter kiuj famas ties metalaj mulditaj soldatludiloj, sed tiu entrepreno, kun fabriko en Londono, ankaŭ diversigis en aliaj asocisimilaj ludiloj kiel mulditaj zamakaj militistaj kamionoj kaj agrikulturaj veturiloj. La varomarko W. Britain de ludiloj kaj kolekteblaj soldatoj derivis el entrepreno fondita de William Britain Jr., nome brita fabrikanto de ludiloj, kiuj en 1893 inventis la procezon de fandomuldado en plumbo, kaj revoluciigis la produktadon de ludilsoldatoj. La entrepreno tuj iĝis la ĉefa industrio, kaj estis imitata de multaj aliaj entreprenoj, kiaj Hanks Bros. kaj John Hill and Co. (Gibbs 2009; Joplin 1996). La stilo kaj skalo de la figuroj de Britain iĝis la industria standardo por soldatludiloj dum multaj jaroj. (eo) Britains is een Britse producent van modelauto's.
