The Toymaker then appeared in the "Doctor Who Magazine" comic strip "End Game", written by Alan Barnes and published in DWM #244-#247. In "End Game", he took the entire town of Stockbridge as his playing board to try to defeat the Eighth Doctor, using the Ultimate Weapon of a mirror which created clockwork duplicates. However, the Doctor turned this plan on its executor, creating a duplicate of the Toymaker hell-bent on playing games for ever, at which point he was cast into a dimensional void.
