Pokemon is the chocolate of the video game industry, it goes together beautifully with so many things. Then there’s Stranger Things, a television series that dominates online discourse every time a new season drops. What do these things have in common? Why, Lite-Brite of course! The iconic toy from 1967 has a host of fantastic light-based toys that let fans of the aforementioned series, and more, create brilliant art pieces. Take a look at the Lite-Brite booth tour below!
Taking us on this tour is Maureen Dilger, vice president, global brand marketing at Basic Fun. Dilger blessed us with a faithful rendition of the Lite-Brite song before taking us on a tour of everything on offer from Basic Fun in the Lite-Brite range.
Lite-Brite has a couple of different LED specifications in its toys. Fans of the OG will remember a chunkier bulb, which is great for those users who are still developing their fine motor skills. But the company has also created a smaller LED, which allows for far more detail in the designs. Think of it like switching from SD to HD – more pixels per square inch!
With this finer detail, Lite-Brite set out to create some fantastic designs and templates, and even partner with some world-renowned brands. Take, for example, Lite-Brite’s Pokemon line. Dilger gives us a look at a cute Pikachu design featuring love hearts. The back of the box reveals there are a few other Pikachu designs as well as a Snorlax, Blastoise, and Pokeball.
There is plenty on offer in the Lite-Brite range of toys, so make sure you check out the video and see what jumps out at you! Find the right Lite-Brite to illuminate your world on the Basic Fun site.
