Target group with purchasing power
Adults are a target group that the toy trade has to take seriously. They include large numbers who own board games, have a particular model car on their desks, collect comics or possess a sweatshirt portraying a well-known character.
On the hunt for treasures
The ‘Collectibles’ category focuses on people’s enjoyment of collecting. Toys are one such collectible and demonstrate the owner’s enthusiasm for a particular subject. And adults are always on the lookout for new items to enhance and expand their collection. The passion for collecting embraces items such as modelling kits, action figures and collectible characters, construction and system toys, comics, merchandise, NFTs, soft toys and puzzles. Collecting can also be a worthwhile investment, as is evident in the next segment, ‘Premium Collectibles’. The particular exclusivity of such products is beguiling and not infrequently they have the potential to rise in value.
Getting immersed in worlds of fantasy
Examples of the ‘Creative Fantasy’ category include not only role-playing games and miniature games but also trading card games. They tempt participants into an exciting, interactive world of play where they can immerse themselves in epic adventures, demonstrate their strategic abilities or take part in contests. With trading card games, individual sets of cards are compiled so that players can compete with one another in duels. In role-playing games, the participants select particular characters and are then guided through the game world by a gamemaster. Miniature games promote tactical skills and the focus here is often on highly detailed and painted miniature figures.
Wide range of games for the tabletop
The category of ‘Tabletop Games’ brings together various different tabletop and board games for teams of two or for larger groups. Whatever the appeal – becoming immersed in different roles, seeking to demonstrate strategic skills, trying to solve tricky puzzles or just the sheer pleasure of playing games – tabletop games such as escape room games, board games, party games, games of strategy and games of logic spark excitement among adults, too. The range stretches from instant fun to sessions that can fill a whole evening.
