What if Funimation established in 1900, starting off as a toy company before switching its interest on dubbing anime?

Now, if you’re the fans of Japanese anime, what comes to your mind when you thinking about any largest anime dubbing company, both current operating and now-defunct alike? Of course you usually think of Viz Media, Saban, Discotek Media, Crunchyroll, GKIDS, Sentai Filmworks, the notorious 4Kids Entertainment, etc. But, most of all, one of those companies you realized is known as Funimation, who specialized for the dubbing of the collection of anime licensed to its library, particularly anime produced from Toei Animation such Dragon Ball Z and One Piece, established in 1994 by two Japanese-Americans Gen and Cindy Fukunaga.

But, you know? I was thinking: similar how Nintendo got first started off as a company known for its playing cards to toys, before currently focus on its interest to video games, what if we wonder if, long before its focus its interest of dubbing anime, Funimation would start off as a toy making company starting in 1900?

Let’s take a look and see in this scenario.

Changes

 * Before changed to Funimation, it would’ve formerly known as Toys of Texas (TOT) (1900-1933), Fun Toys, Inc. (1933-1979), Fun, Inc. (1980-1994), FUNimation Productions (1994–2005), and FUNimation Entertainment (2005–2011).
 * Funimation would be founded by a fictional founder Lawrence Crosser (1870-1950). And take over by his children such as TBD
 * When it was founded in 1900, the company would’ve known as specializing toys and board games, in the 1960s, the company would found its animation division known as Fun Toys Cartoons, Inc. (1964-1979) before it was folded into Fun, Inc.
 * In 1994, Fun, Inc. would be bought out by Gen and Cindy Fukunaga, from Lawrence Crosser’s kids and changed into the recognizable Funimation, after Fun, Inc. was filed in bankruptcy in 1990.
 * Even after Fun, Inc. was sold out, Fun, Inc.’s toy and gaming units, along with the rights to its pre-1994 works, would still be owned by Crosser kids, as they’d formed them into their new spin-off company known as Funny Turtle Media (1994-present), while Funimation would switch on its interest on focusing solely on dubbing anime during the same year.
 * The mascot of the company and its spin-off would be an anthropomorphic cartoon turtle named Funny Turtle, created in 1933.
