NPD

In partnership with NPD, TinkerTini has created the “NPD: Inventors Edition Report” providing item and category performance data for TinkerTini’s registered inventors.

Firm’s successful year has been driven by the success of Dobble and the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG).

The increase in sales comes one year after Asmodee became the official UK supplier for the hit word.

Dobble has now sold over 1 million copies in the UK, and finished 2018 as the UK’s top selling game by value, according to NPD data.

The decrease has been attributed to the closure of Toys R Us; a poor year for licensed products and a difficult year for the High Street.

LOL Surprise cited as a key driver by The NPD Group.

Stats from the NPD Group stated that in the dolls category this year, MGA’s LOL Surprise brand has continued to drive the majority of the international growth.

Kids aged three to five represented the largest age group for licensed sales based on units sold, with Paw Patrol the leading brand.

Australia and the United Kingdom were the only two countries tracked by NPD that experienced declines.
