#9: Top Toy Companies That You Should Know


Listen Later

There's nothing more important to the success of your product pitch than really knowing the company that you're pitching to! Showing a great inventor item to the wrong company is almost as bad as not showing it to anyone at all. If your toy invention does not fit the target demographic of your potential manufacturing partner, you run the risk of losing their interest altogether.


So for today's episode, The Toy Coach dives into a conversation about 6 top toy companies in the industry. We dive into the stories and toys of Hasbro, Mattel, MGA, Spinmaster, Goliath Games, and Funko. You'll get a mini-history lesson on each company, learn their most popular games, and most importantly learn about their history working with inventors.

Some of these toy giants work with inventors regularly and have set up entire websites to accept inventor submissions. Ready to learn more? Pop in your earbuds and listen in!
