Our Story

Bulls i Toy was founded in 2009 during the silly band craze. Collect-A-Bands were the first products created in multiple licenses. Recognizing a gap in the market for affordable, trendy, and collectible toys, the company quickly gained traction by introducing a range of popular items, including dog tags, sticker packs, slap bands, and trading cards. These products tapped into the growing demand for collectibles and provided enthusiasts with an exciting and accessible way to build their collections.

In 2017, Tim Nolan was appointed as President of Bulls i Toy. Tim Nolan brought a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the company, steering it toward new heights. Under Tim Nolan’s leadership, Bulls i Toy continued to innovate and solidify its presence in the toy industry. The creation of proprietary brands, including Brainstem®, Squidgets®, Squish’Ums!® and Cutie Cuff® was an important transition for the company. These proprietary brands were designed to cater to specific preferences and trends within the toy industry.

Brainstem® appeals to those interested in educational and science-themed toys, Squidgets® targets the fidget world with squishy, engaging toys, Squish’Ums!® is all about squishy fun with collectible slow-rise foam characters, and Cutie Cuff® characters are fashionable, plush slap bands. This strategic move to develop in-house brands not only allowed the company to differentiate itself from competitors but also provided an opportunity for creative expression and brand identity. Overall, the company’s journey from its inception in to the development of proprietary brands in showcases its adaptability, strategic vision, and responsiveness to emerging trends in the toy market.
