What makes Nimball such a unique Toyman is that his perspective on dangerous toys is more eerie and mischievous than that of any other Toyman.

We've seen 'deadly-toy' storytelling in various stories and films such as Toys (Robin Williams), in which the son of a toy company owner has to avoid the manufacturing of unscrupulous war toys, and The Dead Pool (Clint Eastwood), in which a criminal uses remote-controlled tiny bomb-infused toy cars to create havoc.

Toyman (Nimball) has many toys at his disposal, making him something like the opposite of Santa Claus, so let's imagine a storyline in which Toyman uses only wood-carved toy cars that carry deadly nerve gas pellets that explode once you turn the wheels of the car, and let's imagine Toyman distributes these toy cars in countless Christmas stores in America to create mass hysteria.

Would we then refer to Toyman as the Christmas nightmare inventor?

It's all about the toys themselves with Nimball, which is why he was used in the kid-favourite Saturday morning animated series Challenge of the Superfriends which featured iconic versions of legendary villains in the spooky Legion of Doom.

This is the hallmark of good 'deadly-toy' storytelling.
