LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Moose Toys, a leading product and marketing innovator in the toy industry, is building a name for itself in the building playset category with the introduction of Tile Town, an expansive magnetic build-a-playset system.

Favorite licensed properties, like Bluey – from producer Ludo Studio, distributor and licensor BBC Studios and Jurassic World – from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, alongside kids' favorite classic themes, Pet Clinic and Fire Station, debut this October with more offerings following.

The 411 on Tile Town’s 911.

Never-before-seen action tiles distinguish the playset with the activation of the included magnetic figures to add movement and interaction, like sliding down a fire pole and a water cannon blaster to knock down fire.

Welcome to Bluey’s Home. Moose Toys’ new Tile Town — Bluey Heeler Family Home is the next evolution in building toys, sparking kids’ imaginations and encouraging story building. The new “click, build, play” pattern puts kids at the center of the playset’s creation. Never-before-seen action tiles distinguish the playset giving kids the freedom to create their own Bluey world and interact with the Heeler Home with magnetic figures that dance on Bluey’s kiwi rug and swing in the front yard.

Tile Town Dino-Dominates. Moose Toys’ new Tile Town – Jurassic World Gate Escape is the next evolution in building toys, sparking kids’ imaginations and encouraging story building. The new “click, build, play” pattern puts kids at the center of the creation and construction of the playset. Never-before-seen action tiles distinguish the playset with the activation of magnetic figures to add movement and interaction, including a working elevator, a gate that opens and dinos that climb.

"We're adding the Moose WOW to the building playset category" said John Coyne, chief brand officer, Moose Toys. "We took a new approach to the category with magnetic tiles that can be used to build recognizable playsets that have incredibly unique play features and characters for kids to interact with. It's all about the simplicity of 'click, build, play.'"

With easy-to-follow instructions and magnetic tiles, kids create their own action-filled playsets. Placing the special magnetic figures included in each playset on an action tile, activates movements such as blasting a water cannon, opening doors, dancing and more depending on the playset theme.

Moose took a from-the-ground-up approach to the development of Tile Town, viewing the magnetic playset system as a long-term initiative, full of the toymaker's signature innovation. The brand's launch will be supported by a marketing campaign centered on "Click, Build, Play" engaging parents and kids with the easy, fun and quick story-building only Tile Town delivers. With the initial product lineup laying the groundwork, Moose already has built out a multi-year pipeline of new playsets, new action tiles and new top licenses that kids around the world will love.
