TOMY International Debuts Stink Bomz At American International Toy Fair
Global leader showcases on-trend collectible line; invites everyone to #JoinTheFarty in 2018!

OAK BROOK, Ill., Feb. 16, 2018  TOMY International (Toy Fair Booth #2275), a leading global designer, producer and marketer of toys and infant products, debuts Stink Bomz, an entirely new line of fun, collectible characters that are full of surprises and just enough potty humor to make them a hit with kids of all ages. With a nose for innovation, TOMY introduces this cast of memorable and "lasting" plush farts, each with its own distinctive scent and personality, ready to let the fun loose with hours of entertainment and laughter. Stink Bomz are scheduled to blow into retail in late summer 2018.   

"Stink Bomz is one of those rare product lines that checks the box of two major trends this year—collectability and fun, silly humor," states Peter Henseler, President of TOMY International. "We're excited to be at the cusp of this emerging trend and to be bringing Stink Bomz to our retail and consumer customers who are actively seeking this combination of gross-out play and collectability."

Stink Bomz delivers on the concept that no one knows what a fart looks like, but now they will…if they dare open a Stink Bomz package. Each character makes three unique sounds and has its own distinct smell. Collect all eight characters and keep an eye out for the two special rare versions to chase and the full roll-out of 60 additional characters. Stink Bomz will retail for $9.99 each and will be sold separately.
