The Winkies of Oz lived a humble and happy existence as tinsmiths until the Wicked Witch of the West came. With the power of the charmed Golden Cap the Wicked Witch owned, she used its magic to summon the creatures called Winged Monkeys who were slaves to the cap's incantation. And with the help of the Monkeys she had them do her dirty work and successfully conquer the entire western country and enslave the majority of the people who resided there to work for her night and day. When the Wizard finally came to Oz unexpectedly via hot-air balloon, he tried to claim the west as his own, but the Wicked Witch had the Winged Monkeys run him out of her territory. After that no one ever dared to try and overthrow the Wicked Witch who officially ruled the west for a very long time enslaving anyone

  • The Winkies of Oz lived a humble and happy existence as tinsmiths until the Wicked Witch of the West came. With the power of the charmed Golden Cap the Wicked Witch owned, she used its magic to summon the creatures called Winged Monkeys who were slaves to the cap's incantation. And with the help of the Monkeys she had them do her dirty work and successfully conquer the entire western country and enslave the majority of the people who resided there to work for her night and day. When the Wizard finally came to Oz unexpectedly via hot-air balloon, he tried to claim the west as his own, but the Wicked Witch had the Winged Monkeys run him out of her territory. After that no one ever dared to try and overthrow the Wicked Witch who officially ruled the west for a very long time enslaving anyone who crossed her path. However, she met her fate when a little girl named Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto were sent by the Wizard himself to kill her in exchange to be sent back home again after being swept away to Oz via Kansas cyclone. The girl and her dog were also accompanied by a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion. Once she knew they were coming, the Wicked Witch immediately used the cap one last time to order the Winged Monkeys to seize the girl, her dog, as well as the Lion and to destroy the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman. When Dorothy and the Lion were both imprisoned by the Wicked old Witch in her yellow castle, Dorothy killed and melted her away with a bucket of water after she tried to steal one of the girl's magic Silver Shoes she'd been wearing since her arrival in Oz, in hopes to enhance her own evil powers. Once she was gone, there was great rejoicing, and the day was set aside as an annual Holiday within the western quadrant. To thank Dorothy for being their Hero, the Winkies gladly restored the Scarecrow and gave him a golden cane to walk with and they polished and mended the tin body of the Tin Woodman until he was good as new. They also gave Dorothy a golden bracelet encrusted with diamonds and gave Toto a golden collar also decorated with diamonds. Since the Winkies were crafted tinsmiths, they asked the Tin Woodman to be their new official Emperor since the Wicked Witch was gone. He gladly accepted the offer, but only after he helped Dorothy and Toto find a way safely home again. Later, when Glinda, the Good told Dorothy about the charm of the Silver Shoes, Dorothy used them to be teleported out of Oz and back to Kansas. Afterwards, the Tin Woodman finally returned to the west and has happily ruled over them ever since. He now lives in a "Tin Castle" that was built by the Winkies as a gift in his honor.
