List of products by brand Racing Champions

Racing Champions was founded in 1989 and pursued a vigorous acquisition strategy in the subsequent fifteen years, going public with stock issues in 1997. In 1999 it bought AMT/ERTL, splitting the company back into its original components.

This rapid expansion resulted in a cumbersome collection of companies with subsidiaries creating unrelated product lines so a reorganization of Racing Champions/ERTL was initiated in2003 following the acquisition of Learning Curve.

Renamed RC2 Corporation in 2004, the company opted to refocus onto its original product lines of die-cast toys and models, and, after it bought "Learning Curve International, Inc." (2003) and "The First Years Inc." (2004), on toys and learning material for the very young. ERTL was dropped from the company name and was relegated for exclusive use as a subsidiary brand. Product lines that did not fit the new company profile were liquidated or sold, which included model kits as carried by AMT and Polar Lights.

A vigorous acquirer of companies, RC2 was acquired by Tomy in 2011.
