40	!!Tropes that apply to multiple or all of the works that Alpha produces:
41	* AnimatedAdaptation: A number of their series are animated adaptations meant to sell the toys they're based on.
42	* MerchandiseDriven: Alpha's two main focuses are on producing animated series and manufacturing toys, so naturally they'll use the opportunity to give their toy series the television adaptation treatment as a boost to advertise the original toys.
43	* TheMockbuster: Their original series may show enough shades of inspiration to be considered Chinese knockoffs of some property, such as ''Go For Speed'' very clearly being based on ''Manga/BakusouKyoudaiLetsAndGo'', ''Infinity Nado'' very clearly being ''TabletopGame/{{Beyblade}}'' and ''Alpha Q-Chong'' (奥飞Q宠) being their answer to Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''Tsum Tsum''. This actually came to the detriment of ''Opti-Morphs'' (a.k.a. ''Screechers Wild!''), whose toys have so many similarities to ''TableTopGame/{{Bakugan}}'' that Spin Master filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Alpha over it.
