Robert is a single parent living with his daughter Alexandra Toulon at their house. He is single because his wife tried to sell the puppets in a flea market in Paris, France and he could never forgive her for this. Robert and his daughter collect rare toys and puppets from around the world, they also operate a doll hospital where they repair damaged dolls for customers. It is unclear how Toulon inherited the puppets, but they were not alive when he had them and spent his life trying to follow in Andre's footsteps and bring them back to life.
