In the 1970s, a man named Jack Nimball assumes the identity of the second Toyman during a period in which Schott retires from his criminal career and first appeared in Action Comics #432 (February 1974). Nimball wore a jester costume and used a similar modus operandi to the original Toyman. However, this version of Toyman proved short-lived. Schott killed Nimball with a mechanical toy bird and resumed his crime career in Superman #305 (November 1976). This Toyman's only other appearances were in Action #454 and Superman #299. Nimball appears as one of Schott's androids in Action Comics #865.
