History
The company was founded by Paul Reiche III (CEO and creative director), Fred Ford and Terry Falls.[2] They created Star Control and its sequel Star Control II in the early 1990s. However, they were not involved in the development of Star Control 3. After this, they went on to develop a number of video games for Crystal Dynamics from 1994 to 2000 including The Horde, Pandemonium!, The Unholy War and 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue.[3]

After the release of their next game they developed called Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure in 2003, the company was bought by Activision on May 3, 2005, and is now a wholly owned subsidiary. The management team and employees have all signed long-term contracts with Activision, and Toys for Bob remains in place in Novato, California.[3] Under Activision, the developer mainly focused on licensed video games; however, the market for these types of games began to dry up circa 2008 and they were forced to find a new niche.[4]

Since 2011, they have been working on the Skylanders series of video games beginning with Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure[4][5] with their newest addition Skylanders: Imaginators releasing in 2016 featuring Crash Bandicoot as a playable character.

On April 5, 2018, it was announced that Toys for Bob will be developing Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
