The Story of Sababa Toys and Next Steps in Their Meteoric Rise
Now in its sixth year, Sababa Toys is enjoying success rarely seen outside of the handful of toy giants. Sababa, which is Hebrew slang for cool, is a term Newman picked up while studying in Israel during his junior year in college. "I thought it would be a great, fun way to say that we make cool, innovative toys," he said. Sababa Toys product line includes a rapidly expanding line up of toys and games based on a number of popular licenses like MLB, NBA, Fisher-Price, Peanuts and Shrek, to name just a few.
Stone Newman is the founder and president of Sababa Toys, a New York City toy company that specializes in licensing classic games such as Uno and Etch-a-Sketch. Newman got his start in the toy business during college, when he interned at FAO Schwartz as a toy demonstrator and later with Tyco Toys. After college, Newman went to work for Hasbro, a toy company based in Pawtucket, R.I. Three years later, he found himself at the helm of Sababa Toys. A native of New Hartford, NY, Stone Newman majored in economics at Union College and is a member of the class of 1997.
