Hansa Toys

Known for their brilliantly designed, realistic soft plush toys, Hansa Toys create the wee mouse, up to stunning and extraordinary, magnificent studio pieces.

Hansa Story

Founded in 1972, by an industry veteran who had experienced many years with the U.S. corporation – Ideal Toys, Hans J. Axthelm, wanted to create a product with a useful life span of 10 years or longer. The companys premier product – The Hansa Block Walker Wagon – was a great success. It has exceeded domestic sales of over one million units.

This led to the amended thinking of – Toys that Teach -. By 1989 Hansa Toys were venturing into the exceptionally large Plush Toy industry and soft animals. Now based in the Philippines, they produce exceptional, life-like and beautifullly crafted Masterpieces, each having to be foremost, a childs cuddly toy. Having won an array of international awards, with their collections being supplied for themed displays, wildlife parks, photo shoots and exhibitions, is it any wonder. Each piece is crafted by hand, with the experience of a meticulous eye, and a passion for the slightest detail upmost.

Each Plush Toy Animal comes with its Toys that Teach Tag, which describes your animal of choice, from habitat to lifestyle, gestation period, to care of their young and dietry requirements. Hansas aim is to enlighten, and give knowledge to the children of the World, by teaching them about the spectacular wildlife that inhabits the planet with them, hoping to prolong safe keeping and interest for generations to come.

Hansa Toys takes pride in their commitment to ethical and sustainable practices in the creation of their plush toys. They prioritize using eco-friendly materials and techniques whenever possible, promoting environmental responsibility throughout their manufacturing process.

Each Hansa plush toy undergoes extensive research and reference work to ensure that it accurately captures the unique characteristics and features of the animal it represents. This attention to detail results in lifelike and anatomically correct creations that appeal to nature enthusiasts, educators, and wildlife advocates alike.

The brand’s dedication to quality and safety is evident in the use of child-safe materials and rigorous safety testing procedures. Hansa Toys complies with strict international safety standards, providing peace of mind to parents and caregivers who choose their products for young children.

Hansa plush toys also serve as valuable educational tools, as they offer a hands-on and tangible way for children to learn about different animal species. They encourage imaginative play, foster empathy, and help cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation for wildlife and nature.

Beyond their realistic animal replicas, Hansa Toys offers a diverse range of plush collectibles, including mythical creatures, fantasy characters, and even historical figures. These unique creations cater to various interests and make perfect gifts for enthusiasts of all ages.

Overall, Hansa Toys’ exceptional craftsmanship, dedication to environmental sustainability, commitment to safety, and diverse product offerings have contributed to their lasting reputation as a leading brand in the world of lifelike plush toys.

Tip top service and delivery. The bunny I ordered wasn’t available and I was called straight away and offered an alternative, as I did not wish to wait for the next delivery order. Bunny arrived the next day.
