Spin Master readies reimagined Hatchimals
Spin Master is set to launch a reimagined version of its popular Hatchimals toy.
The original Hatchimals toy launched in 2016 and over 14.2 million have been sold to date. Nestled inside a speckled egg and responding to human touch, the Hatchimal would begin to hatch and communicate through taps, pecks, lights and sound.
“Hatchimals disrupted the way kids unbox toys and was truly a breakthrough within the industry,” said Doug Wadleigh, Spin Master’s President of Toys.
“The launch of Hatchimals created a craze as kids everywhere loved their Hatchimals to life. Eight years later, we’re reintroducing the essence of that magic with incredible new features, innovative materials and expanded interactions and with the help of a new generation of kids, they’ll come to life this fall.”
On Friday, October 4th – Hatchimals Day – Spin Master will reveal what’s inside the reimagined egg, which will then launch in the Fall.
