Pressreleaseimage E1531227804996

PLAYMONSTER SETS NEW COMPANY PRECEDENT,
EARNING SIX TOY OF THE YEAR 2018 FINALIST HONORS

TOTY 2018 Tops Off an Award-Winning Year,
as Wisconsin Toy Company Garners Dozens of Accolades

  

BELOIT, Wis. (November 6, 2017) – For the first time in company history, PlayMonster has been named a finalist for six Toy of The Year (TOTY) 2018 Awards, the industry’s highest achievement and one of its most revered accolades. The company garnered nominations across six different categories: Playset of the Year for My Fairy Garden Magical Cottage, Game of the Year for Ultra Dash, Doll of the Year for Wonder Crew, Specialty Toy of the Year for Mirari Juballees, Infant/Toddler Toy of the Year for Mirari Shellby, and Vehicle of the Year for Automoblox SC1 Chaos and HR5 Scorch 2-Pack.

PressreleaseimageThe six finalist nominations follow last year’s first-ever win for PlayMonster’s Yeti in My Spaghetti® for Game of the Year. In previous years, the company has earned at least one TOTY finalist distinction per year, so this year’s six is causing big excitement. PlayMonster was founded as Patch Products in 1985, and changed its name in 2016 to reflect the company’s continued commitment to provide play for all ages.

The TOTY Awards are often referred to as the “Oscars” of the toy industry, and finalists were announced last week from a field of more than 600 nominations. Finalists were determined by elite members of the toy industry, including retail buyers, inventors/designers, academics, journalists, trade media spokespeople and bloggers. For more information about PlayMonster’s TOTY Award finalists, click here to view the video and vote at playmonstervote.com. 

“It is an exciting accomplishment and great honor to be a TOTY finalist in six different categories. We have had at least one finalist each for the last seven years, but to get six finalists across multiple categories in one year is beyond our wildest expectations,”  said Bob Wann, Chief PlayMonster of PlayMonster. “It’s extremely gratifying as it shows that the industry recognizes our commitment to delivering exceptional classic play experiences” 

Wann added, “The TOTY nods definitely top off a terrific award-winning year, and our team is proud of and grateful for each and every recognition.”

In late October, the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio honored PlayMonster’s Mirari Shellby, Automoblox and Ultra Dash with Platinum Awards, for the most outstanding and innovative products of the year. Industry powerhouse The Toy Insider featured Ultra Dash, Automoblox, Wonder Crew, Marbleocity and Mirari Juballees on their annual lists.

The company has also received multiple awards from prestigious and recognized parenting organizations, including The National Parenting Product Award, Parent’s Choice Award and The National Parenting Center.

The winners of the TOTY 2018 Awards will be announced on Friday, February 16, 2018, at the TOTY Awards Ceremony in New York City. The ceremony is considered to be the official kick off of the North American International Toy Fair, which takes place at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Saturday, February 17 through Tuesday, February 20, 2018.

October 17, 2017 – BELOIT, Wis. – Two new infant discovery toys have been added to PlayMonster LLC‘s adored Mirari® line, expanding the magic and wonder of play!

The new snail-themed Mirari pick-up/release ball toy, ShellbyTM, is designed for children 9 months and older. The colorful wheel-y snail comes with four colorful balls that children drop into the snail’s shell, and then press on the snail’s tail or roll the snail along the floor to watch the balls come popping back out the snail’s mouth! Shellby is priced at $19.99.

STINKY PIG® BRINGS NEW LEVEL OF FUN WITH THE ADDITION OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES’ “BELCHING MIKEY”

7387 Mickey Contents Scaled

Stinky Pig® Brings New Level of Fun with the Addition of
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ “Belching Mikey”

 Nickelodeon’s Fun-loving Hero in a Half-Shell, Michelangelo, is First Licensed Character to Join PlayMonster’s Popular Kids Game Brand

October 4, 2017 – BELOIT, Wis. – A new personality joins PlayMonster LLC‘s popular “farting” Stinky Pig® family: Belching Mikey. The energetic ninja from Nickelodeon’s hit series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the first licensed character to add new personality to the brand. 

Like the original Stinky Pig® game, Belching Mikey plays in fun, fast hot potato fashion, with a slightly different kind of gas!

To play, press Mikey’s stomach to hear a catchy tune, and then roll the die to see which way to pass him. Do it fast… pass him left, pass him right, roll again… just hurry before he belches loud and proud! The player holding him when he does takes a token and the game play continues at a quick pace and the player with the fewest tokens in the end wins.

Perfect fun for two or more players, ages 6 and up, Belching Mikey is priced at $9.99 each.

“Eight years ago we set out to create our spin on the traditional tire swing and successfully introduced a safe alternative in outdoor play,” said Greg Cordray, founder of Super Spinner.

“We’re thrilled about our partnership with PlayMonster, whose commitment to the power of play aligns perfectly with our company as we continue to grow.”

 

Easy to install and made with durable materials, Super Spinner swings are built to withstand the elements and can accommodate riders of many sizes. There are two Super Spinner versions currently available. The original Super Spinner is perfect for one or two kids, engineered to hold up to 200 pounds; available in red, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink.

PLAYMONSTER BRINGS LIFE TO THE PARTY WITH TWO NEW GAMES

Bleepaccent

PlayMonster Brings Life to the Party with Two New Games

Accentuate® and Go BLEEP Yourself® Will Have Players Laughing!

August 17, 2017 – BELOIT, Wis. – PlayMonster LLC continues to roll out laugh-out-loud party games for family and friends, with Accentuate® and Go BLEEP Yourself®, must-have additions to game night!

Accentuate is the hilarious guess-the-accent game! One player reads a movie quote, and then rereads it in a randomly chosen accent while their team tries to guess which accent they’re trying to speak! It’s often hilarious because not everyone is good at every accent. Plus, it’s funny to hear a Rom-Com quoted in a Transylvanian Vampire accent, or an action flick in a Jamaican accent, etc. Players also get extra points for knowing the movie that’s quoted! It’s big fun for 4 or more players in teams, ages 12 and up. Accentuate is available for a suggested retail price of $24.99.

Go BLEEP Yourself can get as wild, or stay as tame, as players want because they’re filling in the BLEEPs! One player reads a card like, “I picked up BLEEP on the street today.” Then everyone writes down a word to take the place of the BLEEP. Players are trying to match what they think the reader will say, or they try to write the funniest answer… because both score points! Available for a suggested retail price of $24.99, Go BLEEP Yourself is a laughing good time for 4 or more players, ages 18+.

Both games are great for face-to-face interaction and good times with friends and family!
