About Us
*Updated on Feb 14, 2013
Daboxtoys Model Cars DMC was founded by Felix Kwong as a hobby thanks to his love for model cars. He started collecting toy cars when he was 2 years old with Tomica, Matchbox, Majorette, and Hot Wheels. His first English words were "Toyota and Honda". When he was little, his favorite thing to do was to look out from the window of his dad's car and name every single car that passes by. As you can see, cars and model cars are my life. Little does he know that it would turn into an online and physical shop that connects with collectors around the world
DMC was started back in 2003 as an eBay shop as it was (and still is) where collectors go to find collectibles. The word "Daboxtoys" might not seem like a word or might be hard to pronounce for most but it does have a meaning behind it. One of the favorite moments in any child's life is to open "the" "box" of a toy or model car like a Matchbox or Tomica. The idea of opening "the box of toy" always put a smile on anyone's face and that is exactly the feeling we want you to have!
And it is this passion for model cars that resonates with collectors ever since. Since 2010, we have added more than 20 different brands to our shop and received over 5,000 positive feedbacks in eBay. Our aspirations come from meeting fellow collectors so we started our Facebook Page which to our surprise have gathered over 5,500 collectors from all over the world.
Today, we are not only a retailer but a sole distributor for GreenLight Models (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau), Kyosho 1/64 scale (Hong Kong), IXO Models/J-Collection Models/Premium X Models (Hong Kong) and worldwide distributor for XCO Models. There will be a lot more exciting projects in our plans including making special edition models, collectors gathering and trips, and much more.
We have opened our 1st physical shop "DMC WorkShop" at Room 611, Sea View Estate (海景大廈) Block B, 6 Watson Road in Tin Hau, Hong Kong in February, 2013 which was a huge milestone for us.
2012 was our expansion year and it took a few very key people to make this possible:
