Coming after a few years of exiting riders and a stint where the only people on the team were Templeton and Stephens, Good & Evil came out and won Transworld Skateboarding Magazine's "Video of the Year." Riders featured are Templeton, Diego Bucchieri, Austin Stephens, and Marks, with debut parts from Josh Harmony, Johnny Layton, and Matt Bennett.
Good and Evil, Toy Machine's fifth video, premiered October 22, 2004, at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, California, US. Jamie Thomas, Satva Leung & Donnie Barley exited the team before this video. 
The video featured some of the riders that were in Welcome to Hell, but also included new skateboarders, like Bam Margera and Kerry Getz.

Chad Muska's part was edited out right before the video's premiere but was included as a hidden extra on the DVD release. Notable featured riders include Elissa Steamer, Templeton, Brian Anderson, Donny Barley, Jason Acuña(Wee Man), Mike Maldonado, and Jamie Thomas. Featured riders include Templeton, Jamie Thomas, Josh Kalis, Panama Dan, and Satva Leung. Featured riders include Charlie Coatney, Templeton, Ethan Fowler, Jahmal Williams, Jerry Fowler, Joe Nemeth, Panama Dan, Pete Lehman, and Thomas Campbell. So it was with great sadness that we retired Austin Stephens, the rider who was on Toy Machine the longest aside from me. I respect a man who is willing to see things as they are and make an honest choice. Every skateboarder thrashes their ankles over time, and for Austin, it was just one tear, tweak, twist too many and after loads of procedures and healing time it seemed to be worse than when he started. My ankle doesn’t work anymore.” It was a heavy realization, one a skateboarder hates to actually come to grips with. And I said, “Do what?” and he said, “Skateboard. I recall Austin coming to me at the Toy Machine Halloween demo a few years back saying that he didn’t think he could do it anymore. The company released a tribute skateboard deck to commemorate Stephens's career and Templeton officially stated 2010: 
Stephens, the longest-serving team member aside from Templeton, retired from professional skateboarding in December 2013. Austin Stephens then joined the team, followed by Caswell Berry, Diego Bucchieri, and Josh Harmony. Some of the skateboarders who joined the company during its early period were Brian Anderson, Elissa Steamer, and Brad Staba however, all three quit the company at the same time. Prior to inception, Templeton was unable to decide on either "Toy Skateboards" or "Machine Skateboards" for a company name-friend and fellow professional skateboarder Ethan Fowler suggested a combination of the two propositions. Toy Machine is a skateboarding company, housed under the Tum Yeto distribution company, started by Ed Templeton in 1993.
