Look at all this stuff! Creepy dolls, demonic dummies, wicked marionettes... who the hell makes all this stuff, and why hasn't he had his license revoked yet? The Wicked Toymaker is someone who makes broken toys, and not in the "need new parts" sense. A subversion of the fairy tale trope of the beloved innocent toymaker who cares for children everywhere, the toymaker will often have a love for children that, while not often going into Squick territory, is nonetheless twisted. Perhaps they have a child's whimsy... and impertinence. Maybe they value kids so much, they want them to be safe and happy... especially from meddling parents. Or maybe it's the toys themselves that matter, and any kid who's dumb enough to break them deserves his wrath. Alternatively, they could not like kids at all, and seeks to harm them through intentionally deadly "toys". This kind of villain will make death machines disguised as toys with the intent of unleashing them on unsuspecting kids. If this character sells their creations to other villains it's also an example of Welcome to Evil Mart. May also be a Marionette Master. Compare Drone Deployer, Robot Master and Evil Puppeteer, and it is probable for a Wicked Toymaker to be a one of these as well. May also act similar to a Depraved Kids' Show Host or a Psychopathic Manchild. On a similar note, it is also not uncommon for a Wicked Toymaker to have gimmicks and Mooks themed around the Villainous Harlequin and Monster Clown tropes, or for the Toymaker to act like, or just flat out be a clown, which makes sense due to how many clown toys there are and how heavily clowns are associated with toys and childish whimsy. The most "realistic" and least "whimsical" versions of this character usually make him/her a Mad Bomber character, as hiding bombs in toys seems like the most mundane way to weaponize toys (it is not uncommon for Mad Bomber to also be a previously mentioned Drone Deployer, often using remote-controlled cars and planes). This character may also invoke a stereotypical Wicked Witch at times, particularly in more fantasy-based stories. |

In Sunless Skies, the man in charge of Worlebury-Juxta-Mare, who makes sure the place runs proper and is your handler when it comes to dealing with the cult dwelling in the Off-season, is simply called the Toymaker; whenever you talk to him, he's always in the middle of sewing up yet another plush toy far too adorable for the situation you're in. And while he's not necessarily malevolent, he's definitely ruthlessly pragmatic and creepy as hell. | |

Andre Toulon of the Puppet Master series has created puppets that are definitely twisted in design. They range from the hook and knife handed Blade to the leech spewing Leech Woman. However, depending on which movie of the series, Andre is either a good guy who uses his puppets to fight against Nazis and other sorts of evils, or a wicked zombie who uses them to murder people for body parts. | |

Tatu and Patu: Dr. Void from "Tatu and Patu as Superheroes" doesn't make literal toys, but has somewhat of a toy motif: The buildings he places all over Ylivetola are packaged in plastic boxes like giant toys. Later he traps the brothers and Hypercyberman by strapping them on pieces of cardboard like action figures at the store, and his robots that he plans to replace the citizens with look like human-sized dolls and even have "try me" chest buttons that make them talk. | |

DC Animated Universe: Batman: The Animated Series: Combined with Mad Bomber in the episode "Beware the Gray Ghost", in which a toy collector uses remote control toys loaded with bombs to steal money to feed his obsession and buy more toys. Superman: The Animated Series: The Toyman is probably one of the creepier incarnations, with a full-head mask of a perpetually grinning little boy and a voice that sounds like Mister Rogers on crack. |

SCP Foundation: Dr. Wondertainment, purveyor of My Little Panzers by the dozens. He is a mysterious figure that is often portrayed as similar to Willy Wonka, no one knows if he is a man, or a woman, or a family of multiple Doctors, or just a fake mascot for a company. It's implied he has powers that he uses to create his products and hide his factory, but his abilities are not clear either. His motivations are also mysterious, but he is mostly portrayed as an eccentric but nice guy that genuinely likes children and wants to see them happy by selling them magical/supernatural toys and candy for affordable prices, and puts warning labels in their packaging, hoping no one gets hurt from his creations. There's also The Factory, an Evil Counterpart and hated rival to Wondertainment that designs toys and other products specifically designed to Kill All Humans. They're the embodiment of Industrialized Evil, and as such they're the only group whose characterization is thoroughly and inhumanly evil from top to bottom with no humanity whatsoever. |

Funhaus from Batman: The Brave and the Bold. He plans on robbing various homes on Christmas Day using action figures that he calls "Presto Playpals". When cornered by Batman and Red Tornado, he merges the action figures into a giant robot and attempts to destroy them along with the families that he has robbed. Ultimately, he is stopped by Red Tornado, who pushes himself to the point of self-destruction. Beside the aforementioned action figures, Fun Haus uses toy flying saucers, robot Santas, and an exploding doll. | |

Arfur Gregorio in Baldur's Gate III was a rich toymaker who invented the setting's first talking teddy bears. His Establishing Character Moment is trying to have some hired thugs assault a family of refugees who had been squatting in his mansion while he was away (as opposed to simply giving that money to the parents so they could find lodgings elsewhere), and if the party does a bit of digging they can discover that he's been blackmailed to plant bombs in his toys for the cult of Bane's False Flag Operation. They can then extort him, kill him, or force him to turn himself in (upon which he's immediately killed in his cell by the Banites). | |

Toyman appears in three episodes of Smallville. This version is Winslow Schott, a toymaker and former Queen Industries employee with a grudge against Oliver Queen. A great mind, though a bit eccentric, he expressed his individuality by bringing toys to work. However, he went too far when he began putting explosives in toys, which caused his immediate termination from the company. He is revealed to be working for Lex Luthor. He speaks to Luthor through a camera and microphone concealed in a wooden doll's head, and uses toys such as an exploding Newton's cradle, knockout gas-filled Mylar balloons, and an explosive cymbal-clanging monkey. | |

Inspector Rex once featured an author whose story about a criminal toymaker was rejected by a publishing company, so he used toys to hunt down and destroy the editors who rejected his work, one by one. Much use was made of radio-guided vehicles/aircraft, with simple plunger-triggered bombs on board. | |

The Toymaker from the "Toys of Doom" strip that ran in Buster is a scientist who transforms toys into remote-controlled weapons of destruction. Ostracized by the rest of the scientific community, who think his ideas are inhuman, he vows revenge on humanity and creates an army of killer toys in a remote Scottish castle. His plans are stumbled on by Joe and Sandy Douglas, and in spite of initial skepticism, they manage to alert the suthorities to the plot. Thus begins several years of them battling against the Toymaker's evil plans. | |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse: A corporate version is Avalon Toys, a subsidiary of Pentex. As with most of the companies under the Pentex banner, they're dedicated to spreading the influence of the Wyrm and furthering the downfall of the human race by any means available to them, that is, by handing out toys that turn children into monsters — both figuratively and literally. However, according to Subsidiaries, CEO Daniel Dial has been sidelining the monster-making toys in favour of toys that subtly whittle away at the free will of children, gradually ensuring a workforce of glassy-eyed zombies for other Pentex subsidiaries. Daniel Dial himself is a prime example of the trope, having risen to prominence by designing and creating the child-eating Gooshy Gooze. He's actually a reality-warping mage, specifically a fallen member of the Sons of Ether. |

Disney Mouse and Duck Comics: The Mickey Mouse comic "The Kid Gang" has Big Ben, the childlike head of a criminal organization that tricks children into its ranks. Big Ben's favored weapons are his lifelike dolls. In a cycle of Italian stories from the Seventies, the Junior Woodchucks have to face a bad guy known as the Terrible Toymaker (in original "il Terribile Giocattolaio"). Unsurprisingly, these are stories written for Mondadori's Mickey Mouse magazine by Jerry Siegel, one of the creators of Superman. The Terrible Toymaker comes from the dimension of Toyland (it: Giocattolandia), where he was initially the assistant to the good Toymaker King (perhaps biblical reference to Lucifer?) For the sake of completeness, the pencil of the stories is by Guido Scala. |

Superman: Toyman is a villain whose motivation varies from telling to telling but usually focuses on the fact that he's a somewhat broken man who makes deadly little toys. In most versions he's skilled enough to qualify as a full-blown Robot Master, just one who likes to make his robots look like tin soldiers, teddy bears, etc. The Prankster also has this kind of mindset — if you want to split hairs, he technically uses practical jokes rather than toys. He teams up with Toyman more than once. |

The DCU: Batman: The Joker sometimes comes across as this. His base in his first appearance in Batman: The Animated Series seems to be some kind of abandoned hideous toy factory that still haunts some viewers' dreams. The Supergirl storyline Day of the Dollmaker has Anton Schott alias "Dollmaker", the son of Toyman (see below), who is also a skilled (and creepy) toymaker, although he specializes in deadly robot dolls. Superman: Toyman is a villain whose motivation varies from telling to telling but usually focuses on the fact that he's a somewhat broken man who makes deadly little toys. In most versions he's skilled enough to qualify as a full-blown Robot Master, just one who likes to make his robots look like tin soldiers, teddy bears, etc. The Prankster also has this kind of mindset — if you want to split hairs, he technically uses practical jokes rather than toys. He teams up with Toyman more than once. The Teen Titans villain the Puppeteer uses remote-controlled marionettes to murder people. |

In Ravenloft, the toymaker Guiseppe is not actually evil, but went insane after his Pinocchio Expy turned into a serial killer. He still makes toys, but they should most definitely be kept out of reach of children (and anyone else you don't want to die or be horribly cursed.) | |

Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker is a god-like Humanoid Abominationnote The expanded universe and fanon make him one of the Eternals from "Enlightenment" who abducts people to his little private dimension, forces them to play lethal games and get turned into immobile but conscious toys if they lose, and threatens to destroy them utterly if they don't comply. He makes a return after nearly 60 years in "The Giggle", portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris. He casually boasts that he outwitted God and turned him into a jack-in-the-box, and beat the Master as well, turning him into a gold tooth. | |

Uncle Phillip Flowers from The Magic Toyshop makes all kinds of toys for his customers but is an absolute tyrant to his family. He manipulates his brother-in-law Finn into coming onto the protagonist Melanie, simply because she doesn't have a set role in the family due to her age. (Melanie's younger brother is the apprentice while her sister is the baby.) To make matters worse, he casts Melanie as Leda, and uses a swan puppet to simulate Leda's rape by Zeus, then yells at her for overreacting because puppets aren't supposed to be so emotional. | |

Astro City: The Toymaker turns children's toys into dangerous devices. The Junkman plays with this trope — his gimmick is that he recycles discarded junk into the equipment he uses. While much of his gear is based on toys (such as turning a broken Etch-a-sketch into a safecracking fluoroscope), he doesn't deal exclusively in toys. Subverted by the original Jack-in-the-Box. He was a toy designer whose designs were used for crime... but not by him. They were sold to criminal gangs by his corrupt superiors, and his primary motivation for becoming a masked crimefighter was to keep his designs away from criminals. Dr. Saturday builds Humongous Mecha that resemble cartoon characters. |

He's also the mastermind behind the Tickle Me Wiggly, the latest Flash In The Pan Fad that's making everyone go crazy. Literally. As in, the Wiggly toys infect adults with a Hate Plague and make them literally go crazy. And all of this is a scheme to bring on the apocalypse, because Uncle Wiley is in fact an agent of an Eldritch Abomination. Doesn't get more wicked than that! | |
