Big Monster Toys (BMT), established May 1988, is a United States-based toy and game inventing company.
Big Monster Toys' founders came from the defunct toy and game-producing company Marvin Glass and Associates. The company is located in the West Loop section of Chicago just a ten-minute walk from the "Loop." The studio occupies about 18,000 square feet (1,700 m2) of space for over 25 designers, devoted to inventing toys and games to be licensed around the world. Their facility boasts an audio recording studio, a full machine shop and a digital editing facility.
Big Monster Toys creates, engineers and develops the products from inception to finished working prototypes. BMT also develops the marketing position and often the name, packaging and promotional material. BMT then licenses the toys to toy companies throughout the world. Their clients include Mattel, Hasbro, Milton Bradley, Parker Brothers, Fisher-Price, Zizzle, Playmates, Radica, Manley, Spin Master and numerous others.

“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-ey’d monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But, O, what damned minutes tells he o’er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The child that is not clean and neat,
With lots of toys and things to eat,
He is a naughty child, I’m sure—
Or else his dear Papa is poor.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
