As the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] reflected, the [[First Doctor]] first met [[the Toymaker]] after letting [[the TARDIS]] fall into [[The Toymaker's realm|his realm]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) Though the Doctor escaped after beating the Toymaker at his [[Trilogic Game]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Celestial Toymaker (TV story)}}) the Toymaker was eventually enabled to enter [[the Doctor's universe]] with "[[delight]]" ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}}) when the Fourteenth Doctor called upon the [[superstition]] of salt warding off evil to hold back the [[Not-thing]]s while at the [[edge of the universe]], where "the walls [were] thin", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) the fact that he had "played a game" resulted in the Toymaker being "let in".
After the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] called upon the [[superstition]] of salt warding off evil to hold back the [[not-thing]]s while at the [[edge of the universe]], where "the walls [were] thin and all things [where] possible", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) the fact that he had "played a game" resulted in [[the Toymaker]] being "let in" to [[the Doctor's universe]] from [[Celestial Toyroom|his domain]]. After running amok and besting challenges from the [[Guardian of Time|Guardians of Time and Space]], the dying [[Spy Master]] and "[[God (mythology)|God]]", as well as making "a [[The Doctor's early life|jigsaw]] out of [the Doctor's] [[The Doctor's history|history]]" and fleeing "[[the One Who Waits]]", the Toymaker made his way to the "ultimate playground" of [[Earth]], settling down in [[1925]] [[Soho]], with a fraction of his domain taking the form of a [[toy shop]], where he conjured a plan to have the laughter of his [[Stooky Bill]] puppet imbedded into every screen so that humanity would turn on each other on a day when every screen became available to them. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})
 
Running amok, the Toymaker played games with players across the universe, including the [[Guardian of Time|Guardians of Time and Space]], whom he turned into [[voodoo doll]]s, and "[[God (mythology)|God]]", whom he turned into a [[jack-in-the-box]] after gambling with Him. He would go on to claim to have "made a [[The Doctor's early life|jigsaw]] out of [the Doctor's] [[The Doctor's history|history]]", a claim which shocked the Fourteenth Doctor, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) who was still distraught over what he had learned about apparently being the [[Timeless Child]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) He encountered the [[Spy Master]], who was "dying", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) his body "failing" due his botched plan to [[The Master's Dalek Plan|hijack the Doctor's body]] through [[Forced regeneration|a forced regeneration]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) The Master "begged for his life with one final game", but he lost, whereupon the Toymaker imprisoned him inside [[The Toymaker's gold tooth|his gold tooth]] "for all eternity". The only person the Toymaker avoided playing against was an entity he called "[[the One Who Waits]]", claiming to have "seen it hiding" and simply run away. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})
