Toy Machine

Toy Machine is one of skateboarding’s most recognisable independent brands, known for distinctive graphics, strong deck heritage and a clear visual identity shaped by founder Ed Templeton. Launched in the early 1990s, the brand developed a loyal following through its videos, artwork and long-standing relevance in street skateboarding.

Templeton’s role as both founder and artist has always been central to Toy Machine, helping the brand stand apart through graphics and imagery that feel consistent rather than generic. Alongside decks, the brand also offers wheels, hardware, apparel and completes, giving it a broad product range rooted in core skateboarding.

Toy Machine appeals to skaters who want a brand with genuine skate heritage, a strong visual style and products that remain closely tied to independent skate culture. Its influence across decks, artwork and skate media continues to make it a staple in the industry.
