Our Story
Abominable Toys is an art toy company made by collectors for collectors.
Our first character, Chomp, originated as a quick sketch by Connor McConnell in high school and was later brought to life by animator Benjamin Su. We began releasing pins and t shirts in June of 2018 and our first Chomp vinyl figures debuted in December that same year. We're continuing to grow as a company and expand into new unique products. We firmly believe in collaborating with talented artists and we'll always look into new opportunities to do so.
In addition to making awesome art toys, we at Abominable Toys are dedicated to using our platform to raise money for charities we care about! Every year we have multiple charity releases with proceeds being donated.
Chomp is a fun loving, fluffy yeti, with an abundance of chill. Chomp originated as a quick sketch on a piece of scratch paper by Connor McConnell and was truly brought to life by animator Benjamin Su. Since Chomp is the first character we made we'll always be partial to him, but he's made room for other characters in the family!
Chomp Through The Years
Over the duration of Abominable Toys Chomp has gone through a lot of changes. Here are some of the highlights (and lowlights) all the way up to the yeti you know and love today!
Chomper is the smallest member of the Abominable Toys team. Chomper is a tiny energetic yeti with a distinctly cute hair curl. Chomper debuted in print form, but is now available in figures, pins, and plush as well!
