特佳麗（日語：タカラ Takara）曾經是日本著名的玩具製造商之一，已於2006年3月與知名同業多美合併。公司名稱「タカラ」取自創業地名寶木塚町的「寶」。
原本是製造傳統玩具及紙牌遊戲的公司，1974年開始推出《微星小超人》玩具系列，1980年起推出了《戴亞克隆》及《微星小超人-微星機器人》系列，1984年和美國孩之寶合作將《戴亞克隆》及《微星小超人-微星機器人》兩個系列以《變形金剛》之名稱引進美國，1986年開始負責設計美版《變形金剛》玩具到現在，1988年陸續推出《魔神英雄傳》、《魔動王》模型系列，1990年推出《勇者系列》，在2002年起也開始製造電動汽車等玩具。 特佳麗在女孩玩具主力產品為莉卡娃娃及珍妮娃娃，稱之為「女孩玩具中的珍寶」，在女孩玩具中執牛耳地位；但Bandai推出美少女戰士玩具後，特佳麗的娃娃龍頭地位不保。
即使是沒收集動物模型的人也曾在市面上看過它們的產品，比較常見的系列就是TAKARA TOMY多美動物ANIA、動物睡覺 zzz、搞笑戽斗星球，不過由於園長本身沒收藏幽默系模型，故無法多做評測。
Takara (information from wikipedia)
Takara Co., Ltd was a Japanese company founded in 1955. They were the originator of the Transformers as well as other lines. They merged with Tomy in 2006. They produce figure series for Japanese candy companies such as Furuta and are the makers of the Ania series.For chocolate egg figures made by Kaiyodo to Takara see ChocoQ Animatales.
In 1967, Takara produced the first generation of the Licca-chan doll, which was 21 centimeters tall and had the last name of Kayama, inspired by the musician Yuzo Kayama and actress Yoshiko Kayama.
In 1975, Takara produced the Diaclone and Microman Micro Change toys. In 1984, the toy line was rebranded by Hasbro as "Transformers", which made Takara waste no time joining in. Takara continued to sell Microman and used it as the basis for the Micronauts toy line. Micronauts were sold internationally by the Mego Corporation. Other transforming toys made by Takara include Brave, Dennō Bōkenki Webdiver, and Daigunder. Both Webdiver and Daigunder toys could interact with TV screens, which proved only but a fad in the early 2000s.
