NKOK Inc. is a company established in 1998 that distributes US licensed products, specializing in remote-controlled toys.[1] In December 2009, they acquired the license from Sega of America to create a line of radio-controlled vehicles and slot car racing sets based on Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. The line came out a few months after the game was released in early 2010.[2] Since then, NKOK has released multiple lines of Sonic the Hedgehog toys based on the racing games.[3]
