Tracing the roots of Fobbi takes us back to the mid-20th century. Founded in London, UK in 1965, the brand started as a hobby by its creator, Stephen Fobbi, a seasoned carpenter who turned his passion for woodworking into creating miniature models. This hobby eventually evolved into an iconic brand known for its historical replicas in the form of toys. Fobbi's conception of the "Victorian Toy Soldier" in the late '70s, which received critical acclaim from collectors worldwide, positioned the brand at the forefront of the vintage toy industry. Filled with an earnest desire to preserve history in a playful way, Fobbi continues to craft timeless toys and ignite interest in historical artefacts among its customers.
