Trading under the nickname Rapidity, taken from the "Top Set Rapidity" and "Rapidity Top Plate" branding on its own packaging, this Chinese manufacturer built its business on counterfeit Metal Saga tops before a brief, later run at copying Burst Series products; the company is no longer operating. Its counterfeits swap in thinner plastic and cheaper metal alloys that stay shiny instead of dulling with wear, often reshape or drop parts entirely, such as fitting a Rapidity Storm Pegasis 105RF with a plain Flat tip instead of the Rubber Flat original, and always mould the Performance Tip as solid metal. Packaging copies the Takara Tomy look with rough English, misspelled names, its own product photos in place of Takara Tomy's stock images, and a styling that moved from Metal Fusion Starters through Metal Masters to Metal Fury Starters and Boosters over time.
