Spin Master founders to be inducted into Toy Association Hall of Fame
Spin Master founders Anton Rabie, Ronnen Harary and Ben Varadi were inducted into the U.S. Toy Association's Hall of Fame at the end of September 2023, making them the first founders of a Canadian company to receive the honor.
30 years of company history
Fresh out of Western University, the three gained a foothold in the toy industry with an invention called Earth Buddy. With $10,000 of their own money, they manufactured the item - with success. Thus began a nearly 30-year corporate history that has produced successful toys such as Bakugan, PAW Patrol and Hatchimals. The company now includes three creative centers for toys, entertainment and digital games and is one of the 5 largest toy manufacturers in the world.
