Monstrous Dental Games

This Godzilla Toy is Modeled After a Classic Dentist Game for Kids

— August 3, 2016 — Life-Stages
This fun Godzilla toy for kids offers an entertaining alternative to classic figurines of the iconic Japanese movie monster. The 'Godzilla Snap Crocodile Dentist Game' puts a monstrous spin on simple dentist toys for kids that include a mouth full of teeth that need to be pulled. Kids are challenged to take turns removing teeth from the model monster's mouth and work quickly, since pulling one of the teeth will cause the battery-operated toy to snap its jaw shut.

The launch of the official Toho toy coincides with the release of Godzilla Resurgence in Japan, which is inspiring the creation of a new wave of movie monster products. Outside of games for kids and collector's items, themed products can also be seen across fashion and personal care, which suggests this classic creature's influence as an icon of Japanese pop culture.
Trend Themes
1. Classic Monster Toys - There is an opportunity for toy manufacturers to create new and innovative versions of classic monster-themed toys like dentist games.
2. Movie-themed Products - Product developers can tap into the popularity of classic movie monsters and create products that are relevant to popular culture.
3. Interactive Kid Toys - There is a growing trend for interactive toys for kids, such as the 'Godzilla Snap Crocodile Dentist Game', which provide an entertaining and educational experience through play.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - Toy manufacturers can capitalize on classic monster themes to create innovative and new toys, such as dentist games and collector's items.
2. Pop Culture Fashion - Designers can create clothing and accessories that feature classic movie monster themes, which can be popular among fans of Japanese pop culture.
3. Personal Care - Beauty companies can create themed personal care products linked to the release of new movies based on classic monsters to attract fans and collectors.
