WOWWEE MAKES A SPLASH! EXPANDS PARTNERSHIP WITH HASBRO ON NERF SUPER SOAKER ACTION TOYS AND OUTDOOR SPLASH GAMES

After making a big splash with outdoor games in 2022, led by the Outdoor Toy of the Year (TOTY) Award winner Twister Splash, WowWee expands its offerings of SPLASH GAMES with reimagined outdoor versions of more favorite family games. Hungry Hungry Hippos Splash (Ages 4+, $19.99) turns the classic hippo feeding frenzy into a team sprinkler game, where the best aim wins! Pie Face Splash (ages 6+, $24.99) pumps up the drama and excitement as players wonder who will be the first to get splashed. And, new Twister JR Splash and Battleship Splash join previously introduced Twister Splash, Operation Splash, and Crocodile Dentist Splash.

Making a HUGE backyard statement, MONOPOLY Splash (Ages 5-10, $999) brings an inflatable, life-size MONOPOLY board to your backyard where YOU are the game token! The massive 3D game board features 2 ways to play: Classic MONOPOLY gameplay and a high energy obstacle course race. Players collect MONOPOLY money as they splash through pools, dodge sprinklers, climb the tower, slide down the water slide and splash down into jail!

“Families, retailers, and media had such a tremendous response to last year’s line that we knew early on we wanted to expand on our partnership with Hasbro,” said Michael Yanofsky, VP of Sales at WowWee. “We’re thrilled to add our WowWee ‘wink’ and bring more innovation to the outdoor game and water toy categories.”

Jess Richardson, VP Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro, expressed “We are excited to partner with WowWee and drive innovation across Nerf Super Soaker and Hasbro Gaming in water play and activity. We look forward to making a splash in families’ backyards this summer.”

With even more SPLASH HASBRO GAMING and NERF SUPER SOAKER items launching this spring, it’s time for kids and families to bring on the splash all year long!
