BOISBRIAND, QC, Dec. 9, 2015 /CNW/ - Imports Dragon, Canada's fastest growing privately held toy company, has experienced an exceptional amount of growth over the past 24 months thanks in large part to holding the exclusive toy rights to some of the hottest properties in the kids collectibles market.

Shopkins, the biggest and hottest license in the Canadian market, has sold over $57 million dollars worth of products at retail in multiple categories including; collectibles, plush, candy, stationary and cards, and other impulse items.
