“Inspired by the beauty trends taking over social media like makeovers and make-up crushing, we wanted to provide kids with a fun glam toy that allows them to express their creative style,” said Jazwares’ Laura Zebersky.

“This expanded product licensing partnership allows us to deliver an amazing line-up of Fortnite-inspired toys and collector items that we’re confident fans will be excited to experience,” said Hasbro’s Adam Biehl.

“The licensing industry has such a rich pool of creative design talent across lots of sectors, so we’re excited to dive in and celebrate the brilliant work being done,” said Mojo Nation’s Billy Langsworthy.

“This year’s biggest trends underscore the ongoing impact of the pandemic on play; the toy industry’s growing commitment to helping kids become better global citizens; and the many social, emotional, and cognitive benefits of mindful, musical, and ‘kidult’ toys,” said The Toy Association’s Adrienne Appell.
