Title: Popstation manufacturers
Post by: AttackedbyGlitch on July 28, 2013, 03:07:53 PM
I was watching some of Dr. Ashen's Popstation reviews and noticed that several of them had ZC in their IDs. Googling "ZC-2032" (the ID of the Game & Radio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9FFuHQtIiE)) brpught me to this Tradeee page (http://caltime.e.tradeee.com/product_view/200590332/ZC-2032%20Game.html), which mentions Dongguan Caltime Electronics Co., Ltd. Googling Caltime's name brought me to their official site (http://www.caltime.com.tw/content/index.php) which does sell some LCD games, but disappointingly no Popstations. I went back to their tradeee page (http://caltime.e.tradeee.com), clicked on the product list, browsed around, and I found info on lots of Popstations they made, confirming them as one of many Popstation manufacturers.

EDIT: I think I found the manufacturers of Retieval Mankind's Batman and PSP Onling. Googling their respecive IDs (XY-930 and AX-688) led me to ToysBaba  (http://toysbaba.com/ProductShow-51-251-428934.htm) and EC21 (http://axgame2006.en.ec21.com/AX_688_Angery_Birds_Game--6198446_6198543.html) listings for each game. RMB is made by Jiangyun Toys (http://jiangyun.toysbaba.com/Index.Htm) and PSP Onling is made by HK Aixin Electronics Co., Ltd. (http://axgame2006.en.ec21.com)

yeah there are a few - its not an area I've ever been all that interested in but I have come across them from a couple of companies I've been investigating for other things. Trump Grand I think once listed some on their now-closed Alibaba page (one even using the Pop Station name). Timetop definitely has made them in the past (sometimes under the name "Gao Ming" or GM-something IDs) and possibly still does; they seem to have some involvement with the PCP Station line as well, since theres that "LTPS Handy Game" one using Game King hardware.

Here's another one, Shenzhen MingHaoWei Electronic Factory: http://www.zcd.com.cn/ (http://www.zcd.com.cn/)
they also use the ZC ID & it's even in their URL, so maybe this one is the original? (their about page (http://www.zcd.com.cn/en/company.asp) also uses the name ZhengChang which I guess is what ZC stands for)

Their site lists the original Pop Station & Neo Double Games among (many) others: http://www.zcd.com.cn/en/products.asp?smallclassid=10 (http://www.zcd.com.cn/en/products.asp?smallclassid=10)
& they even sell a Pop Station with the games from those Baobaolong/etc handhelds: http://www.zcd.com.cn/en/detail.asp?id=231 (http://www.zcd.com.cn/en/detail.asp?id=231)
