Pony-Themed Construction Toys

Hasbro is Introducing TINKERTOY My Little Pony Toys for Kids

— September 27, 2017 — Life-Stages
K’NEX will soon be launching a series of officially licensed Tinkertoy My Little Pony toys for the fall season, inspired by the popular animated series.

The My Little Pony Tinkertoy construction kits will include varieties like the Rarity Create & Style Vanity Building Set, the Applejack Apple Pickin’ Time Building Set and the Rainbow Dash Cloudsdale Spin & Soar Building Set. Alongside the easy-to-build construction playsets, the kits feature a buildable My Little Pony character, as well as accessories and companions.

As ever, the award-winning TINKERTOY building system offers kids a fun way to learn the basics of STEM, but this time with the added bonus of being able to play with some of their favorite cartoon ponies in the process.
Trend Themes
1. Licensed Construction Toys - Companies are partnering with beloved franchises to release themed construction kits, offering unique play experiences for kids and opportunities for marketing partnerships.
2. Stem-focused Toy Kits - Toy companies continue to use familiar characters to promote education and a love of science, technology, engineering, and math to children through play.
3. Multifaceted Play Experiences - By combining construction toys with character play, kids can engage in imaginative storytelling while building and designing new structures, promoting creativity and skill development.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - By partnering with popular franchises, toy companies can open up new revenue streams and tap into existing fandoms for greater product appeal.
2. Entertainment - Collaborating with toy manufacturers can provide entertainment companies with novel merchandising opportunities that enhance brand loyalty and recognition.
3. Education - STEM-focused toy kits can be used in classrooms to make learning fun and interactive, promoting interest in science and related fields early on in a child's development.
