France
Savie was a prominent French toy (jouet) importer & distributor in the 1980s, best known for its eclectic range of vintage toys that now captivate retro toy collectors around the world. Their catalog featured beloved items like Clementine dolls, space-themed toys, handheld electronic games, and officially licensed action figures from major brands such as Walt Disney and Filmation’s Ghostbusters.
In 1985-1987, Savie expanded its toy offerings with the launch of a unique brand called Hergoss—a dedicated line of robotic toys, transforming figures, and mecha-style action figures. The Hergoss line was notable for creatively repurposing existing toys from various manufacturers. These figures were often repainted, modified, or completely rebranded, resulting in exclusive and collectible toys with a distinct sci-fi and fantasy aesthetic.
For multiple reasons, Robert Guedi appears to be the founder of SAVIE France.
In 1987, the phrase "SAVIE LA DYNAMIQUE DU JOUET" (Savie, the dynamics of the toy)
was trademarked in France by Robert Guedj.
Today, Savie’s products—especially its Hergoss robots and licensed 1980s figures—are highly sought after in the vintage toy market, making them a valuable find for fans of retro collectibles, European toys, and transforming robots.
Variety of Savie logos used over the years.

Savie était un important distributeur de jouets français dans les années 1980, principalement connu pour sa gamme éclectique de jouets vintage qui fascinent aujourd’hui encore les collectionneurs de jouets rétro du monde entier. Son catalogue comprenait des articles emblématiques comme les poupées Clémentine, les jouets sur le thème de l’espace, les jeux électroniques portables, ainsi que des figurines sous licence officielle de grandes marques telles que Walt Disney et les Ghostbusters de Filmation.
En 1985-1986, Savie a élargi son offre avec le lancement d’une marque unique appelée Hergoss : une ligne dédiée de jouets robotiques, figurines transformables et robots de style mecha. La gamme Hergoss se distinguait par sa manière créative de recycler ou reconditionner des jouets existants provenant de divers fabricants. Ces figurines étaient souvent repeintes, modifiées ou entièrement rebrandées, donnant naissance à des jouets exclusifs et collectionnables, avec une esthétique marquée par la science-fiction et la fantasy.
Aujourd’hui, les produits de Savie — en particulier ses robots Hergoss et ses figurines sous licence des années 1980 — sont très recherchés sur le marché des jouets vintage, constituant une véritable trouvaille pour les passionnés de collections rétro, de jouets européens et de robots transformables.
