Players can also switch up the gameplay with four different ways to Wordle: classic play, fast, timed, or teams.

Ukrainian Gears – Harry Potter (European Licensing Company)

 

Harry Potter model kits from UGEARS are unique, self-propelled, wooden mechanical DIY models that entered the market in August 2022.

The UGEARS Hogwarts Express can travel four to six meters on any smooth, flat surface.

Wow! Stuff – Jurassic World

 

Most dinosaur toys have to be sub-actual size, are not realistic, or are caricatures of dinosaurs due to either manufacturing cost or retail price limitations. We set out to create the closest configuration to the Jurassic World movie character, Baby Blue. Using Wow! Stuff’s in-house team of Real FX scientists and engineers, we set out to ensure the toy met our Real FX brand promise: Looks Real. Feels Real. Sounds Real. The resulting toy became a global hit and sold out in every market. Examples of its success include a Walmart Top Toy and subsequent Best Seller and taking the second sales position from 1,957 items in the most competitive category of action figures and playsets at Smyths Toys Superstores, U.K. and Ireland—which had rarely been seen before at this price point.
