Said toys are Replicators, who by the time of the series have become a galaxy-spanning all-consuming GreyGoo swarm. The uncertainty comes in because it's not entirely clear whether she intends her Replicators to hurt people (because she's lashing out) or if (as she claims) she genuinely didn't want to hurt anyone and lost control of the Replicators after instructing them to replicate and defend themselves.
