Knox and Floyd Imports is more than a toy distributor — we’re all about bringing back cherished memories, sparking imagination, and celebrating the joy of play.
Founded in 1967 by Pat Knox and Dennis Floyd, our Melbourne-based company began with a clear vision: to source and supply high-quality, safe, and truly unique toys and keepsakes for children across Australia and New Zealand. From classic jack-in-the-boxes and spinning tops to collectible tin robots and retro board games, our early offerings celebrated the joy of traditional play that transcends generations.
In 2006, Musthakeem (Mushy) joined the team, bringing deep industry experience and a commitment to preserving our tradition of excellence.
A significant new chapter began in 2015 when Knox and Floyd was acquired by Mushy and Shabnam. Together, they have carried these values forward while shaping a new era for the brand. Mushy’s extensive background in sales and marketing, paired with Shabnam’s expertise in early childhood education and business, provides a unique and balanced perspective, ensuring our products not only delight but also support children’s development.
Today, Knox and Floyd is proud to be the exclusive distributor for a curated collection of beloved European and global brands including Paola Reina, Llorens, Heico, Egmont, Svoora, Obitsu Kewpie, Tin Treasures, Marxu, Wenno, and more.
Under our in-house brand, MUSHAB, we design and develop a growing range of educational toys, wooden games, and timeless keepsakes that nurture creativity, spark curiosity, and encourage meaningful play.
At Knox and Floyd, we believe play is essential—it fosters imagination, builds social skills, supports problem-solving, and lays the foundation for lifelong learning. Every product we offer reflects this philosophy, designed to engage curious minds and joyful hearts.
Whether you’re a retailer seeking standout products or a parent searching for the perfect gift, Knox and Floyd Imports is your trusted partner for quality toys and timeless treasures.
Join us in celebrating the wonder of play—and help inspire the next generation through imagination, discovery, and delight.
Regarding the selling of TIN TOYS:
Please note:
Tin toys are not designed as children’s playthings. They reflect a bygone era when toys were fewer and typically used under adult supervision.
Due to the presence of sharp edges, small parts, loose keys, and clockwork mechanisms, most tin toys do not meet modern safety standards and are not suitable for children.
These items are intended for collectors and decorative purposes only, unless otherwise specified.
Exceptions:
Products such as BOLZ tops and any items clearly labelled with the ‘CE’ toy safety certification meet current safety requirements and are suitable for children’s use.
