Toymaster is an association of independently owned toy stores[1] formed in 1977 as a buying group.[2] As of 2012[update], it comprises over 250 independently owned toy retailers in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[2] There are six in Wales, three in Jersey, one in Guernsey and three on the Isle of Man.
Toymaster is famous for its mascot of an orange puppy wearing a yellow T-shirt and trousers. In 2012, the puppy was named Toby,[3] and was given his own Apple iPhone app.[4]
