Turning Mecard

Turning Mecard (Korean: 터닝메카드, a transliteration), released as Mecard in the United States, is a South Korean toyline and media franchise launched in 2014, developed for toy company Sonokong by Choirock (Sonokong's multimedia production arm).

Later, Lingdong released a similar toyline named Eonster Hunter to replace Turning Mecard in its line-up.

[10] Sonokong was the distributor and license holder of Bakugan toyline and media franchise within South Korea.

[13] Separately, Spin Master sued Mattel (which distributes Mecard toys outside South Korea and mainland China) in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California over the alleged infringement (which the Canadian company confirmed in a press release published on 25 April 2018).

[17][18][19] Spin Master's legal actions came as Bakugan was given a reboot in 2019, and it follows similar moves made by the Canadian company against Chinese toy manufacturers.
