"ljn"? :)

Hi all,

Just a really silly, random, toy-related question - what exactly did “LJN” stand for, or at least how did the toy company get their name? I’d be really curious to find out - does anybody here know? If so, please could you LMK? Many thanks! :slight_smile:

Take care, and thanks for listening! :slight_smile:

LJN was founded in 1970 by Jack Friedman (who later founded toy companies THQ and Jakks Pacific). The name LJN was inspired by the initials of Lewis J Norman which is the reverse of Norman J. Lewis Associates, a toy company where Friedman was employed in the 1960s before leaving to form LJN.
