Voice Compare » Superman » Toyman
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of Toyman with sound clips and images.
Toyman is usually a primarily antagonist of Superman. The better known of Toyman is Winslow Schott, who first appeared in Action Comics #64 (September 1943). Winslow Schott was a toymaker who was fired from the toy company he worked for after Lex Luthor and LexCorp acquired said company. Angry and embittered, he started building dangerous weapons shaped like toys and went on a dangerous campaign to kill Luthor, which brought him into conflict with Superman and was stopped. The second Toyman first appeared in Action Comics #432 (February 1974). A man by the name of Jack Nimball took the name Toyman after Schott apparently retired. Nimball dressed in a yellow jester outfit and like Schott, used toy-based weaponry to commit crimes. His criminal career ended after Schott came out of retirement and murdered Nimball. A more heroic version of Toyman appeared in Superman #177 (February 2002). Hiro Okamura is a child prodigy and mechanical genius from Japan who helps Superman and Batman stop a Kryptonite meteor from destroying Earth.

EDITOR'S OPINION
While all the actors did a terrific job portraying Toyman as immature, childish villains, the best for me were Bud Cort and John DiMaggio. They made Toyman sound more creepy and disturbing. The exception is Calvin Tran, who plays the third Toyman. He plays him more as a young, naive genius.UltimateCharm

I'm going with Bud Cort. He was pretty creepy as Toyman. John iMaggio is good too. Calvin Tran is good as the Hiro Okamura Toyman.

@coolgeek176 I didn't know that was Cameron. It doesn't sound like his Tim to me. I don't really like it. I'm sticking with Bud Cort.

I prefer Corey Burton as he has more childish lines like "Rain rain go away little Johnny wants to play" or "Superman go bye bye". I wished he played him more in some non DCAU material. That said I like Bud Cort as well as he seems like a creepy killer doll. John Dimaggio is a great creepy Toyman as well but his is more deranged in addition to creepy. I don't really like the non-creepy versions but out of them Frank Welker was the best as his sounded like a trickster which his version was.

I prefer a creepy version of the Winslow Schott Toyman and in that regard, I'm gonna go with John DiMaggio. Yeah, Bud Cort's version was creepy, too, but I thought John DiMaggio's was creepier, so I'm going with him. Corey Burton was okay, but not anywhere as creepy as DiMaggio or Cort. I also liked Calvin Tran as the Hiro Okamura Toyman
I really don't like Matt Hislope and Richard Green as Toyman. Something about them donesn't feel right, even for not-so-creepy versions.

@Anicomicgeek If Toyman isn't it something as good he won't be as good neither will he be as creepy. At least that's the way it seems to me.
