Funtastic was established in 1994 and is one of Australia's and New Zealand's leading distributors of children's products.
 
 

Since listing, we have continued to enhance our position as the pre-eminent children’s products company in Australia through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, namely that of JNH Australia- previously Funtastic’s major competitor in Nov 2002 (effective July 02), and Toy & Hobby in September 2002. In 2003, Funtastic acquired one of Australia’s largest apparel distributors in Australian Horizons. More recently, in October of 2005, Funtastic acquired Dorcy Irwin a major player in the toy industry, which cemented our position as the largest toy company in the Australian market place.

Funtastic currently has 10 main product categories divided into 4 key areas of business; Toys, Nursery & Sporting; Homewares & Confectionery; Apparel; Footwear & Accessories and Publishing & Interactive Entertainment. Licensed brands form a major part of Funtastic’s business and many of the world’s hottest licenses have found a home at Funtastic. Classic brands like Barbie™, Thomas the Tank Engine™, Bob the Builder, The Wiggles™ and Winnie the Pooh™ along with more recent smash hits such as Tamagotchi™, Bratz™, Robosapien and Leapfrog™.

Funtastic has also expanded into the new Zealand marketplace via the strategic acquisition of Planet Fun; a major toy-children's product company in New Zealand.
