Toys in the Time of Coronavirus by Nick Truss Despite best hopes and safety measures implemented the world over, the pandemic continued to cast its shadow across global supply infrastructures, leaving suppliers and retailers alike in the dark for yet another year. Holiday 2021 was impacted heavily by continued supply line woes, delaying critical retail products for many companies. Consequently, holiday products will be arriving on shelves in Q1 of 2022, necessitating possible shifts in marketing and sales strategy. We reached out to several key toy executives across the industry for insight on this consequence, and more. Andy Yanofsky, COO of WowWee says “From a sales perspective, Xmas in January will be a rallying cry for retailers and toy companies alike as they try to capitalize on pent up demand due to inventory shortages in Q4. Carry-forward items at brick and mortar will be well positioned to deal with price compression whereas non carry-forward items could be subject to liquidation strategies with Fall shipments still inbound. From a marketing perspective, I think toy companies will find themselves in the market for ads/media without pause from Xmas as is usually the case.” Andy Keimach, President at VTech Electronics, takes a glasshalf-full mentality, remarking, “We know the holidays are the most popular season for gifting, but people celebrate children’s birthdays year-round, and look for gift-giving opportunities throughout the year. We are partnering with our retailers to help move inventory and look forward to a strong first half of the year as we lean into more non-traditional holidays and gifting occasions. Customers will be able to find popular, award-winning toys on shelves as they search for the perfect gift.”

Sharon John, CEO and President of Build-A-Bear reflected on the unfortunate side effects of product delays, saying, “Some will be seasonally irrelevant, therefore that may cause certain manufacturers and/or retailers to pack-and-hold which will tie up cash for a year until the next holiday season. Another possible outcome could cause a glut of toy availability in the first half that may create downward retail pricing pressures due to supply and demand reaction. Unfortunately, many of the manufacturers and/or retailers may have already over-paid for the product when adding in the increased manufacturing and shipping costs, so it would add insult to injury to have to lower prices.” Some companies found themselves fortunately well prepared ahead of time, due to their vast, cultivated, and interconnected networks. Max Rangel, CEO and Global President at Spin Master commented, “Our supply chain and commercial organizations were very successful in working through global supply chain disruptions with our retail partners to ensure we delivered our goods to stores and digital shelves. We pulled forward finished goods production to increase capacity, and we invested in more tooling to dual source manufacturing of certain product lines. We leveraged our diversified third-party manufacturing footprint across China, Vietnam, India and Mexico to optimize availability, and we worked with our logistics providers to secure access to additional ports and shipping lanes. We think that because of these efforts our risk is manageable.”

Ultimately, consumers are likely to see some positive side effects as products hit shelves early this year. Laura Zebersky, President of Jazwares postulates, “The impact I expect in the first half of the year Isaac Larian, CEO of MGA Entertainment adds, “The demand for is that we will start to see better in-stocks innovative toys is very strong. MGA is fortunate to have many innovations. But, I believe there will be a glut of consumer goods hitting the at all retailers; a more robust retail promofirst half of the year that will clog the shelves for the first half of the tional cycle, and manufacturers being able year.” to offer discounts around Easter in mid-April.”

FEATURED CONTENT A moment of necessary change

Ynon Kreiz, CEO of Mattel adds, The key difference in year two of the pandemic was a shift in “Having already restructured our resolve, and an earnest desire to get things rolling again. Where global supply chain as part of Mattel’s many saw an unavoidable cease in business as usual, others saw transformation strategy, it is now a true opportunities for improvement, and subsequently adapted. business partner, strategic asset for the company, and a competitive advantage A common conclusion was that every step in the producfor Mattel. While I cannot comment on tion timeline must be moved up. Mr. Yanofsky remarks, “We’re the fourth quarter, in terms of recent supply chain challenges, rebuilding our assumption sets to deal with what we believe is exiting the third quarter we reported that our supply chain and the new normal: that supply chain congestion isn’t going away, commercial organizations were successful in working through and that the economics that accompany it will persist. In short, global supply chain disruption and closely collaborated with we have to be earlier at every level. We have to make portfolio our retail partners in trying to meet consumer demand. It’s not choices earlier, develop earlier, manufacture earlier, and ship that we were not impacted, but we anticipated short supply earlier. We have to rethink how we do business domestically. and longer lead times and factored that into our planning with Freight costs will preclude us from offering certain items on a several mitigating actions. We believe the strong performance domestic basis, and we’ll have to frontload shipments on those of our supply chain was attributable to our scale, expertise, and items we believe in most to ensure we can meet demand.” flexible model.” Charlie Emby, Co-President of Just Play offers, “We have accelerated our development time, tooling releases and overall preview and shipping timelines. It has taken an enormous amount of coordination working with licensors, our internal design/development teams, our factories and retailers to plan the business for the next couple of seasons.” Brands with comprehensive factory infrastructure were far less impacted on the whole, but their shrewd industry leaders remained vigilant. Skip Kodak, President of Lego Americas says, “We have a global network of factories and distribution centers located close to our markets, which gives us the flexibility to meet shifting consumer demands and reduces our need to ship products long distances. However, the current global supply situation is very dynamic. We are working very hard to minimize any disruption, taking swift action to respond to any issues that arise and monitoring the situation very closely.”

Given the emergent issues of 2020, Build-A-Bear took preventative measures in advance of Q4 2021. Ms. John comments, “At Build-A-Bear, we increased orders of evergreen/ core products and pulled forward the holiday-specific products in 2021 when some of the factory, container and shipping issues became evident and, therefore, we were able to receive the vast major of holiday goods prior to November resulting in comparatively little sales disruption for business. On the few Christmas products that were not shipped, we were able to pack and hold until next year.” Ms. Zebersky adds in relation to Jazwares, “Fortunately, we were prepared for challenges in the supply chain by having our own domestic warehousing in place, along with strong agreements with our transportation network. The importance of being nimble remains critical to our success.” Prior efforts to innovate proved useful for Spin Master, as Mr. Rangel remarks, “We’ve been focused on diversifying our manufacturing for some time, and it provides us with greater flexibility to shift vendors as needed. Additionally, as we put more emphasis on strengthening our three creative centers, toy, entertainment and digital games, there will be less of our portfolio which is reliant on physical items.”

FEATURED CONTENT This year was a time for reflection on operational pipelines, as Mr. Keimach adds, “The supply chain issues have given us a chance to step back and evaluate where we can make improvements in efficiency. Internally, we will be putting an emphasis on longer lead times and carrying additional inventory. We will also continue to work closely with our retail partners to align on forecasts and inventory strategies. Additionally, we will be focusing on improving visibility throughout the supply chain to identify any issues early on so we can get ahead of them. By establishing contingency plans, we can quickly implement solutions and mitigate any repercussions.” Changes that are here to stay When asked what pandemic changes would remain permanent in the toy business, our interviewees had a wealth of wisdom to offer. Eric Nyman, President and COO of Hasbro comments, “The pandemic caused retail experiences to move online more than ever before. At Hasbro we’ve continued to grow our leadership in ecommerce capabilities with our focus on Omni-channel, pure-play, and our own direct to consumer business, and Hasbro Pulse. The pandemic also meant many of the in-person interactions we have with our fans and consumers had to change. Over the past two years, Hasbro has ventured into new digital initiatives such as our Bring Home the Fun campaign of 2020, and Hasbro Pulse Con. These have allowed us to directly reach our consumers and fans through virtual content and events.”

Mr. Kreiz adds, “The industry continues to face ongoing COVID-related challenges, so this chapter is not yet finished on this unprecedented period for our world. However, we clearly saw the further acceleration of online retail and ecommerce during the pandemic. Most importantly, the toy industry has played a key role in providing support and positive experiences for children and families during the pandemic. Our industry has always been resilient in challenging economic times and this time has been no exception.” Mr. Keimach remarks, “E-commerce was on the rise before the pandemic, but it exploded in 2020 and continued in 2021. Whether people stayed home because they wanted to avoid crowds, stores limited hours and/or capacity levels or people were sick, COVID really pushed consumers towards e-commerce. It’s become second nature, even to people who were new to online shopping and may not have been comfortable at the start of the pandemic. Across demographics, consumers have become accustomed to instant access to everything they need via e-commerce, and I think that’s a change that’s here to stay.”

Reflecting on silver linings as a result of the pandemic, Mr. Emby remarks, “One positive that has come from the pandemic is the way the industry has pulled together to give back to those in need from COVID relief and beyond. The toy industry has always been very philanthropic, but the continued expansion in charitable donations is something that will continue post panLego’s marketing focus has under- demic.” gone a few key shifts.

pany has been leaning into new and different gifting occasions, and recently launched an online initiative called “Heart Box.” We are very excited about this, as we see it as an incremental opportunity to drive sales to a broader addressable market within the large and growing gifting category.” Mr. Kreiz, reflecting on Mattel, says, “There is much to be excited about in the year ahead, both for Mattel, with multiple growth engines across the company, and the toy industry as a whole. As part of our growth strategy, we are actively expanding our portfolio of licensed partnerships. In 3Q21, we announced an expansion of our relationship with Disney consumer products, games, and publishing for Disney and Pixar’s eagerly anticipated movie Lightyear. We also are pleased to have exciting product tied to other highly anticipated 2022 movies, including Jurassic World and Minions.

We will unveil new content, lifestyle product and fashion dolls in 2022 and we are working with Nickelodeon on a new animated series and live-action television movie musical to debut this year.” Mr. Yanofsky adds for WowWee, “From a continuing brands standpoint, we’re incredibly excited about the evolution of the Got2Glow Fairy Finder product line, and the expanding partnership with Nickelodeon on My Squishy Littles, and continuing the expansion of our Baby Shark’s Big Show line.”

Hasbro’s Mr. Nyman adds, “We’re proud to unveil so many new innovations across our entire portfolio of iconic brands from Nerf and Transformers to Monopoly, Play-Doh, and Peppa Pig. Hasbro is continuing to bring kids and families new toy and gaming experiences as well as strengthen collector product lines for fans of our many entertainment-based brands, and our partner brands.

Ms. John remarks, “Build-A-Bear is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2022, and as such is also recognizing the multi-generational aspect of the brand, its growing relevance in pop culture, and appeal beyond young children to tweens, teens, and adults. With that in mind, given that the brand is highly associated with making memories and having celebrations, our com-

Mr. Kodak says of the Lego brand, “2022 marks the 90th anniversary of the Lego Group, and we have lots of exciting products and programs planned to celebrate.

Players guess the size of objects in the room using random – um, let’s say somewhat bizarre -- units of measurement!! “How tall in gummy bears is that lamp?” Or “How wide is the coffee table in baseball caps!?” The player closest to guessing the actual size, wins!

Start by selecting an object in the room - on the opposite side from where you’re playing - that everyone will be measuring, like a ﬂat-screen TV, refrigerator or even your grandma’s china cabinet! Players spin the wheel to see which unit of measurement they’ll be using. The player that has the closest guess wins the most points in the round.
