Johnny Lightning is an American brand of diecast model cars launched in 1969 by Topper Corporation, similar to Mattel's successful Hot Wheels cars. The company stopped making Johnny Lightning Diecast Models in late 1971.
The company Playing Mantis acquired the rights to the Johnny Lightning trademark and began producing reproductions of the original cars in 1994, expanding the program considerably. In 2004, the company was acquired by RC2 Corporation, which continued production. After the acquisition in 2011 by the Japanese company Tomy, the brand continued to exist until 2013, after which the brand disappeared from the market.
In 2016, the rights to the brand were acquired by the new company Round 2 from the owner of RC2 Corporation, which also owns the Auto World and Racing Champions brands.
