It won't degrade the toys, however you might want to question why you're using it. Isopropyl and the other alcohols don't do a really great job of disinfecting, so it can leave some stuff behind (especially if the toy has some organic material on it), and it doesn't kill everything - Hepatitis is one of the bugs that it will leave behind. If you're sharing toys you should come up with a better solution to preserve your health.
If you're just using your own toys on yourself then usually soap and water are fine. If you're going anal-> vaginal then I'm not sure - isopropyl should kill most of the potential problems, but wouldn't you really rather use something that's known to work better?

And what is it that works better than alcohol? Bleach?
BTW - I've read that hand sanitizers that use alcohol will not create 'super-bugs' because they work by dehydrating bacteria - so I can see how that would not work with virus' like hepatitis.
