Toy Vault, Inc. was founded in 1998 and is a designer and manufacturer of high quality products for the toy, gift, and novelty categories. Their aggressive design and product-research departments consistently strive to provide the marketplace with unique products.

The company is willing to explore many non-traditional lines of distribution outside of the regular channels making it popular among stores of all sizes. In addition to standard major retail outlets, Toy Vault also solicits its products among small direct market stores, internet stores, music, computer game outlets and appropriate overseas markets and outlets.

Most well known for their current line of Monty Python toys, Toy Vault also holds licenses for such great properties as Godzilla, Farscape, KISS, Trigun, Swearbears, and many others.

Lord of the Rings

Three months after its inception in 1998, Toy Vault acquired a license from Tolkien Enterprises to produce plastic figures based on the best selling fantasy series of all time, Lord of the Rings. This was the first series of action figures ever produced based purely on a literary property.1
