Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Although the main feature uses just "the Toymaker", the summary refers to him as the "Celestial Toymaker", continuing a long-standing error surrounding the character's name.

  • The version of the Toymaker depicted is that of Neil Patrick Harris, who appeared in TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"].
  • The Toymaker's conflicting origins being contradictory by his own design was an idea first seen in PROSE: Divided Loyalties [+]Loading...["Divided Loyalties (novel)"].
