So I'm gonna try to summarise what we know/can surmise about the whole toy deal...

1. When you get turned into a toy, your existence is essentially 'erased' with everyone else forgetting you existed

2. A toy gets forgotten even by other toys, eg: Abdullah and Jeet claiming they're lone warriors.

3. Some toys seem to completely forget their own identity as well. However, firstly, this does not seem to be an immediate effect, as observed by Abdullah, Jeet, Sai and Boo still remembering who they are when they first became toys. Additionally, it seems that it's possible for the toys to 'remember' their original identity, eg: TSOR and the 'defective' toys

4. The rule that toys and humans cannot enter each others homes seem to be meant to prevent the chances of a toy regaining their own memories, and toys that do regain memories of their identity are deemed 'defective' and thrown in the scrap pile. Eg: The dog who's the kid's father

5. Even if a toy remembers their own identity, it seems they still would not be able to recall the identity of other toys. TSOR hinted that the Riku army should be larger than those who died and those who defected, which suggests that those toys in the scrap heap were soldiers but it seems TSOR can't really remember them.

So with that, I think the whole toy thing definitely has two parts to it. I think the ability to turn a human into a toy in itself inherently 'erases' your existence in others memory. This can be observed by the fact that everyone forgets a toy's identity no matter what, even another toy who managed to regain their memories. The second part probably involves an additional hynosis performed that makes a toy forget even their own identity. This one being a hypnosis sort of thing seems to be breakable, and hence the rule of prohibiting excessive interaction between toys and humans was made to probably minimise the chance of the hypnosis being broken due to strong feelings and whatnot, and the toys that do regain their memories of who they are gets scrapped.
