Majorette is a toy brand owned by German Simba Dickie Group[5] which mostly produces small Die-cast scale model vehicles, particularly in 1:64 scale. This is a normal 2.5–3 in (64–76 mm) size, thus Majorette has sometimes been called "the Matchbox of France". Diecast models are now made in Thailand.[6]
