Hey, I'm the nephew of the owner - and honestly the story of why it closed isn't exciting. The business had just run its course, and my uncle just didn't feel like operating it anymore (he's in his 70s now and just wanted to retire). No one in the family was interested in taking it over (I was approached at one point but turned it down), so it folded after TS4 (well sort of, they also made the toys for Apple's luck too). As someone mentioned, the building in Toronto was sold and demolished for an old folks home, but the real HQ was in Hong Kong (which is also closed now).
hi chris I am incredibly saddened by this news.what your uncle did was a revolution.the reason I'm still happy every day are the toys that your uncle made.I still want to see that the story does not end, and I still have hope for this,believe me, what makes the worst times of my life beautiful belongs only to the masterpieces that your uncle made,is there any way I can get to him? thank you :(
Hi there! I want to personally thank your family for making these toys. My mom and grandma were fans of Toy Story along with me. I remember getting Woody back in Summer 2010 and Utility Belt Buzz that Christmas. My mother and grandmother are sadly no longer with us. But I still keep them. I just recently bought a Toy Story signature collection Buzz Lightyear off Mercari. I wanted to get him before he goes even higher in value. These Beautiful and amazing toys have been a huge help through my grief and my anxiety. This hobby brought my wife and I together as well. Thank you again.
Hello! Wow thanks for leaving a comment! Is there anyway i can possibly have you on as a podcast guest here on this channel to speak more? I’d love to have you on for the fans of the toys! Maybe I can find you on instagram or if there is a better way to contact you let me know! Thank you!
@@todayigrewup I accidentally left a comment responding to this. I deleted it. I’m so sorry 😂 silly me!
Mr. Chan, I just want to thank you, your uncle, and your entire family for everything you guys have done, not just with your incredible work on your Toy Story toys, but for everything you guys have made since 1984. You gave us nearly 40 years of fun and adventure. My childhood wouldn't have been the same without all the incredible work you all did. Thank you so much. ❤
I worked as a toy concept artist at Thinkway for 19 years. We parted ways in 2019 when they ran out of work for me. Before Thinkway, I worked at Disney Canada for 13 years and was involved in the original Toy Story toy line. Great times!

This is sad to hear. I would've liked Thinkway Toys to produce toys to promote Pixar's Lightyear, but it's such a devastating shame for them to disintegrate into nothing.
Yeah it is sad
Maybe they're gone, but they went down in a blaze of glory, they THE BEST, Toy Story dolls and figures, and it is sad to see them go.
Agreed they did their best. I’ll always love the toys they gave us.
Makes me sad to see all this happen to Thinkway. Truly the end of an era
Yes definitely and sad
It’s not the end of an era. Be patient.
@@todayigrewupOh man I knew I should've bought the Signature Collection RC , Jessie , Bullseye, the aliens from Pizza Planet , and Rex back in 2015. Hopefully I will find them in good condition at a flea market one of these days.
Considering they appear to still have a social media presence (albeit a dormant one)
I think the company does still exist, they likely just:
-lost the Disney/Pixar license
(and)
-operate under a new name, or privately
One thing is for sure, they are done making Toy Story toys currently.
I will never forget when I got my cloud logo Buzz and Woody for the first time brand new in the boxes when I was 9 years old.
Ahh the good times.😎
The best times ever for sure 🤠
Same here!
This is so sad. I never had any Toy Story toys by Thinkway but I'll always appreciate them because they are part of the reason why Toy Story was able to become as big as it was. If no toy companies had made toys for the film back in 1995, I think it still would've been a success but not the massive phenomenon it was
No one ever made better official toys so mad respect for thinkway
I feel like 2020 definitely hurt Thinkway Toys. I don't know what happened to them but I truly hope they return. Maybe they're planning a relaunch, who knows.
All I know is it sucks having the best Toy Story toys on the market go away and driving the prices sky high on places like eBay. If other toy companies had the same level of love, care and quality that Thinkway had, maybe their absence wouldn't be as felt but since a lot of toy companies nowadays go the cheap route you definitely feel Thinkway's absence.
I'm really glad you made this video as it'll draw more attention to their sudden disappearance and hopefully we get an answer.
Yeah for now we know they are done with making Toy Story
Until toy story 5 comes out.
I found new information! In the future, Thinkway will not be selling Toy Story or Pixar products, but the Luck series, a movie from the studio where Pixar director John Lasseter currently works, called Skydance. Also, it seems that Thinkway will be active under the name Toikido in the future, so thinkway is not bankrupt. However, please note that Pixar products such as Toy Story and Lightyear will no longer be produced.
I saw that. Yes it’s sad they will no longer do Pixar or Toy Story that means the toys are going to be even more rare in the future. They are already all super expensive on eBay.
@@todayigrewup I agree. Currently, normal talking figures are sold at a low price, but the Toy Story Collection series is generally more expensive.
And also the bond between Albert Chan and John Lasseter is a wonderful relationship.
R.I.P thinkway, they were legends for doing business like that.
Yes absolutely legends
They maybe gone but never forgotten right?
I doubt anything happened to Thinkway themselves. Just this year, as late as April, they still had ties to the Toy Story franchise. Their website changed in May to no longer include their license history... and I'm not sure why. Perhaps they lost the license or they just wanted to streamline their website. Somebody has done a nice job archiving their website on the Wayback Machine though. I advise taking a look for yourself.
Cool but I think for now they are done making anything Toy Story
I remember Thinkway Toys. They created Pixar toys like the ones from Toy Story and WALL-E. Believe it or not, Thinkway Toys also made an employee desk accessory of the Pixar logo with the hopping Luxo Jr. and the remote control of the Luxo Ball. My mom almost bought it off of eBay a long time ago, but someone else already bought it and made a video about it on TH-cam when they discovered this old video of another person reviewing it.
Interesting thanks for that information
@@todayigrewup You’re welcome.
I believe the personal connection Albert Chan has with John Lasseter has something to do with it too, just a hunch. Maybe because John isn't connected with the films or any new media Albert was afraid to take the risk for quality and popularity concerns?? I've heard he is working with John Lasseter and Skydance now to produce toys for 'Luck' That is saying something! Looking forward to see what they come up with on going.
Thanks for the input it could very well be. Still they are done with Toy Story sounds like.
What a shame. Thinkway made really great toys.
I agree it’s very sad 🥲
I looked online and as recent as April of this year, Thinkway Toys is still a thing
That’s good to hear but I know they are done making anything Pixar or Toy Story related sadly.
Answers before the video: I HAVE NO IDEA! 2: contract negotiations fell through. Or they went bankrupt somehow.
Edit: I think they went private, maybe they'll be back after the whole lightyear craze is done and then maybe make a comeback, or after Mattel's toy story contracts or licencing deals expire.
I think they are still a company they just don’t make Toy Story anymore. Also they were always a private company.
It's very sad that think way toys doesn't make the signature collection toys anymore. Some of those toys from the lineup like Buzz Lightyear or RC have become very rare and ridiculously expensive. I'm really hoping that in the future there would be a new toy company that would save the license to make new Toy Story toys and make an awesome successor to the Toy Story signature Collection.
Yes I hope so too! I’m also sad to see them stop making Toy Story
Be patient.
It’s very sad to see thinkway go down and lost the license to Disney and a bunch of more franchises, I do hope they come back but the chances of that seem slim right now
It is very sad
I have a 2009 Toy story collection Buzz Lightyear, he's so cool!! 🚀
it is sad to know that Thinkway Toys has disappeared.. 😔
Yes very sad news
Considering how much we’ve seen from Mattel these past few years, it’s pretty safe to say Thinkway no longer has the license to the Pixar characters, which considering those were their most profitable items they might’ve just gone under at this point. Which is such a shame, they were basically the beginning of Toy Story merchandise and their TS3 figures were by far the most accurate figures ever made.
That being said, their 2019 and 2020 figures were pretty awful…
Definitely agree on the lack in quality of their last figures but it's also likely that the drop in quality was due to the business declining and budgetary constraints.
Yes I agree with this
Also, when hasbro adquired the license in 2001, thinkway was nowhere to be seem til they returned in 2009, i hooe they come back
Let’s hope for the best
To be honest the first woody and buzz that thinkway made that most adults had as a kid are not ugly or scary like some later coming toy story toys they are cool
They are just classic childhood nostalgia
There still Comeing in stock in UK Scotland But sad for the USA rip a Toy Story toy Company one of the Best
Oh wow didn’t know that
When ts2 came out all the the ts1 toys were repackaged but ended up in the clearance isle.
Yeah I remember
I’m guessing that Thinkway Toys went bankrupt until they cancelled their own business, and It’s very sad to see their business gone 😔
Yeah let’s hope they come back for a Toy Story 5 movie promotion!
My heart broke watching this, video all the good memories going to toy R us seeing toy story toys minion inside out, coco all the Pixar shows and even more toys, this brings back so much memories happiness going into a Toys R us as a kid, and getting toys, specially thinkway, hopefully one day they will return, but for now Rest In Peace thinkway toys.. 😥😢
And not to break the news more, but toy story is also done I think. Because a year ago, they were talking about they were planing on making more Pixar movies that are not toy story, they wanted woody to have a good ending in toy story 4 could be true or not.. I don’t know what the years will bring us 😔
I miss toys r us a lot
If they truly are gone..they will be missed...I got collection Woody when I was 5, that was 10 years ago...my former friend gifted me her collection Bullseye....those are the only thinkway toys I have but....they made awesome ones from what I've seen online, and in person with Woody and Bullseye...
If they are gone, it seems that thinkway Toy Story lads are suddenly more rare than they already were. I'm really going to miss them if they're gone...
Yes me too. I will always cherish their toys in my collection
I am not sure that Thinkway are not making Toy story toys after Toy story 4, because Toy story 4 is the last movie.
Yeah they stopped making Toy Story after 2020
This is a real shame. We can talk about their latest Buzz Lightyear figures not being the same quality as their older figures all we want, but at least Thinkway was still in the game for Toy Story and other properties. Personally I don’t see any other toy company capturing the same magic of Toy Story that Thinkway did. This company gave a whole new meaning to Disney magic and brought it into our childhood. I myself as a kid have collected a lot of Toy Story toys from this company over the years and to see this company disappear hurts a lot. At the same time, I think other companies should have a chance to bring Toy Story and other properties to life. I’m glad I’ve gotten the chance to purchase Thinkway’s products during their run
Thinkway toys really did try to make toy story characters not just for a little children but for all ages who watch the movie that’s what the company did. They really try to include everyone to make all their favorite characters come to life in the real world. It’s just..the camaraderie in the company along with the toy story community fan base makes everyone’s dreams come true.
That’s true and I’ll always appreciate thinkway toys for what we do have
R.i.p thinkway toys
1984 - 2022
Sad but true 🥲
I do believe Mattel has the Toystory toy license now. Judging that Toystory 4 was the last time we saw the Toystory collection but I’m disappointed that Mattel is rising with cheap toys.
Yes true sadly
@@todayigrewup Mattel has been making the Toystory toys and Pixar toys now so it answers your question.
It’s a shame that unless Toy Story 5 is confirmed they are done Welp No Prototypes for thinkway
Afortunadamente si va a ver toy story 5 si es que no se retrasa como Toystory 4
toy story 4 ruined the franchise and the failed lightyear movie was the nail in the coffin :(
I liked Toy Story 4 ;~;
From a business standpoint you are wrong there. Toy Story 4 made a billion dollars worldwide at the box office keeping it profitable and relevant for the franchise. As for the toy line I don’t know if wave 4 was profitable for thinkway, they were putting the signature toys on clearance by February of 2020… so not sure there.
All I could really say is thank you Thinkway Toys for making such amazing toys of these fantastic characters over the years and it's not just for Toy Story, in my case it's also Wall-E, I don't know where you'll be in the future but I'm hoping it's not too soon or far away when it comes to another license…
Yes thank you thinkway I will always cherish the toys you’ve made over the years in my collection
"Success of Toy Story 4." LOL XD
You're joking, right?
Nope look at how much money that movie made! Over 1 billion dollars in revenue the most money a Toy Story movie has ever made. Success is based on box office numbers. Extremely profitable for the company and that’s why they are making Toy Story 5. They know it’s gonna make serious money.
@@todayigrewup Disney's been known to cook the books
My childhood belongs to thinkway toys, literally my most beloved toys were from thinkway and i didn't knew it, until now :')
In a way, they did lose the license. Mattel seems to be the new home for the Toy Story franchise given their recent products (Action Chop Buzz, Roundup Fun Woody, etc). Now the question remains: Will the Toy Story francise become what the Star Wars currently is with year around products on the shelf or will stay like how it is now with just Woody & Buzz in one shelf space that you can maybe find in the Fall or Summer? I personally hope Mattel allows a space for other characters like Rex, Hamm, Trixie, the Aliens to become common 12 inch scale toys you can find on store shelves all year long.
Let’s hope for the best!
And Hopefully Dolly, Buttercup, Mr. Pricklepants, Lotso, Bunny, Ducky, etc As Well.
Aww, it’s such a shame that their company disappeared and i would always wanted a Thinkway Woody and a Thinkway Buzz. Well, i guess it’s to late to get them 😭
Yeah eBay prices are too crazy but maybe one day you can find used ones for good deals
Thanks for talking about this, literally all information I found about this company is just blurbs on their site and fan wikis talking about what they have done like it's still happening. I was lucky enough to get the collectibles I wanted from them in the past I but always held out hope they would still be there for anniversary releases, sad to see them go. If Mattel is the master license holder now they have a golden opportunity to do a Collector line of movie accurate releases and I hope they take it.
Yes I don’t see them doing that but I hope they do
Never say never! I'm sure this isn't the end of the Toy Story Replicas.
Thinkway toys might have a successor like Hasbro or Mattel Considering They make Further Toy Story Toys and Potato Head
We are hoping for the best when Toy Story 5 comes out.
Quite a shame, I think that the last 3 years were terrible for them. But with the new 12 inch figures and even the spotlight series, I dont think its out of the question for Mattel to tackle the replica territory
From what I heard inside Mattel they have no plans to make full scale Toy Story toys.
Thanks for the video mate. I only came here because i have been looking for the instructions for a Thinkway Millennium Falcon drone i have. Thanks for the insight. Shame about what happened to them.
Man, I really do miss them, I have lots of their Toy Story and Despicable Me toys, with more coming in the future from places like eBay and thrift stores, I hope Albert is doing ok right now and hopefully he still has all of the molds for the toys so maybe one day thinkway could come back, but that’s highly doubtful, but still, Thank You Thinkway Toys, For Everything
love your videos keep up the good work
Thank you so much partner 🤠
they got too expensive but i still have my prickle pants and lotso
I think costs went up for the toy makers too making things harder to make a profit on.
Hasbro or their Hasbro Pulse projects would be a really good plan to get the definitive versions of these toys
Well, by what you posted in this video of Thinkway Toys, they must of “shut down” went out of business. Best toys ever made for Toy Story!
Just think if they had the license for Lightyear movie - we maybe would of had better quality of toys.
I really wish I had that utility belt Buzz Lightyear.
That would of been amazing but it didn’t happen sadly
im gonna miss them :( they sold some of my toy story collection :( im 29 & still love toys
You’re never too old to have fun. They gave us the best Toy Story toys we could have even today.
@@todayigrewup my signature collection woody broke on the third after 10 years & i was as devastated as andy was when he ripped his arm in the second movie :( since thinkway shut down i had 2 get a new one from ebay. his voice is too deep & doesnt sound like my old one. im really disappointed & bummed out
Imagine that thinkway produced 1 billion Toy story collection Buzz lightyear and Woody on each, they won't be rare like current days.
Yeah they couldn’t make that many
Thinkway is still making new toys, they are making toys for Lasseter's latest movie Luck by Skydance Animation.
Good to know! Thanks
If this is a licensing problem, which I think it is, I wouldn't think much of it myself. They actually lost the license around 2004 and got it back by 2009, and I think they also lost it after 2015 but gained it back by 2018 but I'm not entirely positive about that. This definitely is very concerning though. My thought is that they're probably downscaling their company significantly, or they're going out of business. Either way this is pretty sad to hear since I love thinkway minus their Toy Story 4 toys.
Yeah for now they are done with toy story let’s hope they come back again if another Toy Story releases one day.
Oh come on the Signature collection toys for Toy Story 4 were still really good
@@toystorytoday2081depende por qué luego sacaban como el Woody de peluche,o el interactivo dónde los botones estaban pintados osea desde ay ya se veía su decadencia y de hecho el único que hablo sobre eso fue Danhood.
Thinkway made such Awesome Toy Story toys like Toy Story Collection/Signature Collection. 😕😟
Yes I will always cherish my thinkway toy story toys in my collection
@@todayigrewup I'm also going to Cherish my TSC/TSSC toys too, Although some of my TSC/TSSC toys are in Good Condition and Some of them are in OK Condition.
I also had a very strange feeling about this. Why they just... disappeared?
Just a question: Where did you find that ThinkWay Toys manufacturing footage?
Video clip from an extra called "Accidental Toymakers" on some DVD/Blu-ray releases. And here is the clip without my commentary on it here: th-cam.com/video/Wb7yxrmu2w8/w-d-xo.html
@@todayigrewup wow, so cool!
The only toy story toys are in stores are the woody and Buzz that came out last year
I actually emailed them last year, because I wanted some replacement parts for my Buzz Lightyear, and they told me to go talk to Disney about it
That’s weird because Disney doesn’t carry thinkway toy parts so that makes no sense
@@todayigrewup well I mostly wanted replacement stickers. So I’m guessing they suggested contacting Disney since I’m assuming the stickers are pretty similar
this is so sad but true, great video!
Thanks for watching partner 🤠
Thinkway Toys make the best Toy Story toys, especially the signature series
Yes agreed 🤠
I just emailed them about a replacement hat six days ago and they haven’t responded and I don’t think they will 😭😭😭
Yes I think they are officially done with Toy Story now. Sorry partner
There are diffent toy story toys companies exist(Disney store, mattel, hasbro, Takara Tomy).For me, Thinkway toy is the best.
Yes there is 🤠
When toy story five whenever it release the past Thinkwaytoys come to haunt them all will the entire company have some new employees hired and reopen all of the entire toy story community fanbase waits for the answers
Can’t wait to see what merch they come up with for Toy Story 5
Listen dude I don’t think thinkway toys is truly gone because they still have their website and they would terminate it and they might have moved to a new headquarters
I've done a little digging in the internet through my phone and I've got some good news and bad news. The good news is that Thinkway toys are still in business, but the bad news is that they somehow lost the license to Toy Story. (Disney going down the toilet possibly) here's what I gathered.
Supongo que la recuperarán para Toystory 5
Honesty after the pandemic and shortages of all kinds of materials and labor…. I wouldn’t be shocked if ThinkWay was struggling to meet demand or still manufacture toy story products so knowing woke Disney probably ripped the license from them and took their business elsewhere which might’ve been the nail in the coffin closing them for good. I hope this isn’t the case cause I love ThinkWay
Yeah also their prices in 2019 for signature collection went up to $89.99 it must mean the production costs really went up too.
Trivia: in may of 2010 a plane crashed into thinkway toys' headquarters in markham ontario
Maybe they might be planning something big for toy story that's hidden to the public
Maybe if Toy Story 5 comes out. We can only hope.
If I want to be a toy collector I’ll have to be like Modern Al but no stealing
Yeah good idea not stealing that’s bad to do
@@todayigrewupim on the edge of stealling sorry....but i most do what i most
Well, seems like Mattel and Hasbro will have to do toy story toys now. Especially movje sized dolls
Yes but they don’t like making movie sized toy story toys, the last Woody and Buzz they made this year were only 10 inches tall. Way too short.
@@todayigrewup Mattel used to make movie size toy story toys back in 1995 - 2015
And Hasbro did that around toy story 2 came out 2000 to 2008
As awesome as you are it pains me to watch this as toy story toys would be nothing without this business 🙁😞
You’re right it really wouldn’t be
Even if it means that thinkway is really gone im glad i got to get there products while i could
Yes same here
I hope that they aren’t gone. It would be really sad for my favorite Toy Story company to be gone.
They are done with making Toy Story for now
@@todayigrewup I have looked at their website and they TALK about toy story but with names or the actual name, for example:”One spent 15 months in the international space station”. This makes me think they lost the license to Toy Story
Yo tuve a Woody y buzz de signature collection y yo también tuve unas figuras de los Minions descanse en paz thinkway toys
Wow que genial
wait so thats mean...the last buzz lightyear batch in my country was complete the last and they aren't comming more?
You made my childhood Thinkway
The new toys for Luck by Thinkway are available on Amazon uk
That’s really interesting thanks for sharing that information
I think due to the community disappointment, maybe Mattel will make movie accurates for Toy Story 5, I mean who knows
Thinkway is create our masterpiece toy story and so many pixar toys, i remember all toys in every days, every times and every moment. And create some one's smile on past and future.
*In memory of "Thinkway Toys"* *1984~2021* *"thank you for create great times."*
I think company is not dead, but end for print all toy story and pixar toys, and shut down the all support service in now. And remember, thinkway's awsome technology work *to infinity and beyond…*
(Update 8/11) Thinkway was not dead, and release skydance's luck film toys! It's new john Lasseter's film.
And also, i got a 1996 original talking buzz lightyear figure on now. The wing is broken but, voice box is fine. And i gotta fix buzz lightyear on now.
Their toys will always be in my collection I could never sell my main collection.
People haven’t dealt with a tragedy like this since toys r us disappeared I think much mego corporation and Knickerbocker Those toy companies aren’t popular like Hasbro or Mattel
That’s why they weren’t popular so that’s why they disappeared
I wish I have a thinkway toys 1995 Buzz Lightyear toy in real life
Only eBay now
They just disappeared and were never heard of again 😕
They stopped making Toy Story for sure
It’s a shame I wanted to get a buzz lightyear
Yeah very sad
Thinkway sadly shut down. If you Google their address it has permanently closed and is being replaced by a long term care facility.
That's Awful.😡 😠 😭 Why did Thinkway have to go away so Soon???? Just Why??☹️😔
Business, money, expenses, making toys is very complicated, I’m sure they didn’t want to stop making Toy Story but they did lose the licensing for them. That’s on Disney too.
Hopefully Disney can give the rights to think we toys again to make a wave five And I want to see Mrs. potato head Weezy Gabi Gabi Rocky Jubel Zirgan combat Carl
I don’t see that happening but we can only hope for the future
So sad that thinkway doesn't produce Toy story toys anymore 😓
Yes those days are over
Fun Fact:Thinkway Toys also helped make the Toys for the Minions/Despicable Me for Illumination
That’s so cool I do remember that
Respect to Thinkway Toys 🤠🚀🧑🚀
The best company to ever make Toy Story toys
If thinkway ends then I would say Happy trails thinkway
I’m guessing that’s what happens when thinkway toys doesn’t listen to fan feedback on accurate toys
I’ll miss them 😭
I found a Rocky Gibraltar Movie Accurate(The one from the 3d printer you guys showed)For 205BRL(40$)
I'll probably buy it, I just don't know when
That’s a great price!
Thinkway toys come back😭😭 we want to see more toy story toys and Lightyear toys
I wish 🥲
Probably because of bankruptcy one of there toys or one the last post they have it actually maybe because the car thingy has small parts that contains choking hazard
Yeah if they are in business they are definitely done with Toy Story
Disney pulled the Toy Story license around 2021 or 2022. It's currently March 2023 when I'm commenting this and the Thinkway website says "500 server error" so I'd say it's safe to assume they're gone for. Frankly I don't think they could've stopped it. They stopped making Minions and Star Wars toys around 2016, stopped Batman toys around 2013 so Toy Story was really their only flagship. I don't think it helped that Toys R Us (The only distributor of the Signature Collection line from 2012-2018) went bankrupt in the US and UK, and the fact that the also now-defunct Disney Store never stocked Thinkway products in the last decade. Truly sad to see them go though as they made excellent products.
They Made Minion toys in 2017 For despicable me 3
Well sh- first Toys R Us now this
Yes very sad
R.I.P Thinkway toys.😞😔😟😕🙁☹😣😖😫😩🥺😢😭
They passed away
First
WHAT??? They have passed away 😳😳???
@@ybgames120 no
@@ybgames120 the company
I think they are still a company they just don’t make Toy Story anymore
Is there a way to contact Albert Chan?? Maybe he has the answers!
I wish I will try
I hope they come back soon
😩
I don’t see it happening anytime soon 🥲
We Will know for sure when you travel there to show them your woody. But seriously that would be terrible if they are finished without them there would be no lightyear movie or no near perfect custom mods
Yes they are currently closed though and stopped making Toy Story toys 😢
@@todayigrewup must be why Mattel did all the figures for lightyear
I was in love with their toy story toys and I'm still is. Did thinkway toys went out of business
They stopped making Toy Story since they lost the license to make them from Disney.
