History

Auldey Toys

In 1993, Cai Dongqing spent 800,000 RMB to establish Auldey Toys company in Chenghai County, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, China. But the company couldn't develop, so in order to solve this trouble Cai established "Guangzhou Alpha Culture Spread Company".

Alpha Animation

In 2006, Alpha Animation used ads to sell "yo-yo" ball, and Blazing Teens (Chinese: 火力少年王).
In 2007, Alpha was transformed to establish "Guangdong Alpha Animation and Culture Company".

In 2012, Alpha Animation partnered with Hasbro to co-develop brands for China and other global markets. One of the brands selected was Alpha's '' Blazing Teens'' series, alongside an unnamed Hasbro property. The first results from this collaboration include '' Blazing Team'' and a Kre-O line of toys based on Alpha's ''Armor Hero'' franchise, both of which launched in late 2015.
