Moose Toys is an Australian-owned toy design, development and distribution company with headquarters in Melbourne, Australia. Its products include Shopkins, Little Live Pets, Trash Pack, Beados and Qixels. Moose products are sold in over 80 countries.

History Moose Toys was acquired by Chief Executives Manny Stul, Jacqui Tobias and Paul Solomon in 2001. The company is based in Cheltenham, Melbourne, Australia.

In 2013, co-chief executive Paul Solomon led a move to distribute Moose Toys products directly into US retail, which was a collectible brand called "the Trash Pack”.

In 2014, Moose Toys relocated its main office within town with what co-chief Manny Stul claims is a first of its kind with a basketball court, and a meeting room at the top of a built in beanstalk with walls that act as whiteboards.

In 2015, Moose Toys was awarded "Girls Toy of the Year" by the U.S.’s Toy Industry Association for their product line Shopkins and "Partner of the Year" by Toys"R"Us.

Moose Toys, which employs 200 people in Australia, the US, Hong Kong, China and the UK, is currently ranked in the top ten toy companies in the US and in Australia.

Other Moose product lines include Mighty Beanz, Gelarti, Aqua Sand, The Zelfs, Glitzi Globes and The Ugglys Pet Shop.

Shopkins Shopkins are a collectible small doll franchise, designed and developed by the Moose team in Melbourne, Australia

Toys Shopkins toys are miniature store item characters available to collect, trade and share. Each Shopkins character has a name, hobby, hang out and BFF, intended to create an emotional bond for the collector.

Each new season of Shopkins combines 140+ characters with playsets and accessories.

Originally released in June 2014, as of August 2015 there have been three seasons of Shopkins, playsets and accessories released in the U.S. with over 500 characters available to collect.

Animation Since the product launch, there have been 18 cartoon webisodes uploaded to the ShopkinsWorld YouTube. These videos were made with Brisbane based production company, Flux Animation.

In 2014, Moose partnered with children’s content producers Nelvana to create Shopkins animated content, slated for release in 2016.

Other product Moose has licensed Shopkins for additional products through Bulldog Licensing in the UK, The Licensing Shop, in the US, and Merchantwise in Australia.

As of September 2015, over 110 Shopkins licensees have been signed worldwide, including apparel, construction, candy, games and bedding.
