Welly, formally known as Welly Die Casting Factory Ltd, is a prolific Far-East producer of diecast models. In the diecast manufacturing business since 1979, they have recently switched from a toy focus toward making collectible scale model replicas in a wide variety of scales. They produce both closed and open top versions of the Routemaster, aimed at tourist shops, with "pull back and go action". They're not bad for the money.

As mentioned, they make a wide range of diecasts, including several scale versions of the ubiquitous New Beetle and BMW Mini.
