"Toy" (トイ Toi) is an archetype of cards that resemble toy soldiers and other figures. They are mainly used by Yugi Muto in Yu-Gi-Oh! R and Jean-Louis Bonaparte in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
In the OCG/TCG, they are supported by "Toy Box", which in its card effect specifies "Toy" monsters that can be played in the Spell/Trap Zones under their own effects. This phrasing is likely in order to specifically exclude cards that incidentally include 「トイ」 in their Japanese names, such as "Clock Spartoi", as well as "Toy" spells unrelated to Yugi's deck.
Despite the "Frightfur" archetype being known as "Death-Toy" in Japan, it is not a sub-archetype of this archetype, as it uses an alternative spelling of "Toy", 「トーイ」.
Contents
Design[edit]
Cards that intentionally have "Toy" in their name can be broken up into multiple different sub-groups used by various characters across the franchise. They are loosely united by visually featuring dolls, figurines and other playthings, often of military or combat units, as well as the characters which use them often having some thematic relationship to childhood.
Yugi Muto[edit]
Yugi's "Toy" monsters are Level 4 LIGHT monsters with various Types, and are associated with his "Toy Box" Spell Card. They can be set as Spells, with special effects when destroyed (or sent, with later members) from this position. They may represent his child-like innocence when compared to his alter ego, Yami Yugi.
Alister[edit]
Alister, from the Waking the Dragons anime-exclusive arc of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, uses a card called "Toy Robot Box" (unreleased in the physical card game). It generates Monster Tokens that resemble the favorite action figure of his lost younger brother, the memory of whom serves as his motivation.
Jean-Louis Bonaparte[edit]
The vice-chancellor of Duel Academy uses his own version of a "Toy" deck, including EARTH Machine monsters based on Napoleonic warfare. They have a variety of basic effects, but have not been released in the physical card game, though they do appear in some video games. Besides reinforcing his connection to his namesake, they may allude to his command role at the school, and his desire to be closer to his son.
Yuma Tsukumo[edit]
The main protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL uses "Toy Knight". Like many of his Main Deck monsters, the card's effect is geared toward Rank 4 Xyz Summoning. Yuma's association with unfailing hope can be viewed as a childlike quality.
Sora Perse[edit]
Sora Perse from Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V uses Spell Cards that have the relevant spelling of "Toy" in their name, such as "Toy Vendor". They complement his "Fluffal"/"Edge Imp"/"Frightfur" deck, themed around possessed weaponry which corrupts sentient animal plushies, which parallels Sora's own deceptive false innocence in his anime debut.
Playing style[edit]
Only Yugi and Sora have had at least some of their "Toy" cards released into the OCG/TCG. Yugi's monsters have the gimmick of being non-Pendulums able to be placed in the Spell/Trap Zones and then being summoned when destroyed, and have other generally helpful effects, but lack an in-archetype boss monster. Sora's "Toy" Spell Cards merely serve to support his "Frightfur"-based playing style.
