Thinkway Toys says it has seen a significant boost in sales for 2018 with its Toy Story 12” action figures.
Through a variety of platforms including TV, social media and a blogger network, Thinkway has been on a drive to engage fans, new and old, to its 12″ range of characters and action figures.
One social media strategy, using the hashtag #ThinkwayFriends, gained over 3.7m Twitter impressions reaching 692,000 individual accounts, highlighting some of the product key features such as pop out wings and speech effects.
More recently, an investment with Disney media sales and partnerships has seen bespoke educational content launched on YouTube for the Thinkway range.
