>>11023541Toyetic is manifested industry term used generally to describe something that is either engineered specifically with a toy line in mind or fills the same criteria naturally. Its less "thing id like to have toys of" and more of a corporate "thing that facilitate a very profitable toyline due to specific aspects".
Toyetic is associated generally with kids media designed more as advertisements than entertainment.
-Show can be produced cheaply and sold to a network in a desirable slot (ie considering networking restrictions on content), also needs to appeal to a demographics that will want or buy toys (ie children)
-inoffensive to parents/regulators
-Plays off current trends and interests (viewship), has some unique aspect that can be translated to a toy (ie gimmicks)
-Features a large range of core characters that can be cheaply or easily converted into physical toys.
-Frequently adds additional characters and opportunities for variants/costumes/themes on established characters that are cheap to produce (reuses molds and parts)
-Collect-ability aspects
-Can scale into uptake and popularity with shit like vehicles and other more elaborate products
-Spin off potential, branching IPs, cross over potential etc are also considerations although dependant entirely on success.
TMNT, Pokemon, Transformers etc are obvious Toyetic examples, the shows were getting made to sell the toys. Silent Hill is a niche interest for adults. Consider a series can be very popular and have a successful toyline and still not be overly toyetic.
