The first 7 toys of the Toy Story collection
Thinkway Toys was a Canadian-based toy company that operated from 1984 to 2021[1][2] (headquarters demolished in 2023).[3] They were responsible for creating and distributing several toys and figures from Pixar films, notably WALL•E and Toy Story.
History[]
In January 1995, Disney Consumer Products was having trouble finding distributors willing to produce products for Toy Story. With the film coming out in November, larger toy companies such as Mattel and Hasbro turned down the daunting task of having to produce the Toy Story merchandise.[4] Then in February, after bringing their idea for Toy Story brand toys to the New York Toy Fair, the small retailer Thinkway Toys agreed to produce them. By August,[5][6] despite the relatively short period of time given, Thinkway had produced the first Woody and Buzz Lightyear toys.
