Arc-a-Teks®: Three sets, 6 fun characters and hours of creative playtime.

They have helped us build Atlantis, the Sumerian Zigarut, and the Egyptian Pyramids. They have been with us from the earliest primative societes and taught us the crafts and artistry of master-building. They have helped humanity to build its character and they are about to reveal themselves for the very first time…

The Arc-a-Teks® coming Summer 2010

WABA Fun previewed its new line of collectible building characters at the International Toy Fair in New York.

About the Arc-a-Teks Building Characters
Arc-a-Teks are fun and adorable collectible character sets with a compelling story. The first series, due to release Summer 2010, consist of three sets (Earth, Sky and Sea) and six characters. Each set includes 40-42 pieces, enough to build two complete Arc-a-Teks characters simultaneously and collector cards that reveal the Arc-a-Tek’s name, details and a secret code to unlock additional Arc-a-Teks online. Kids can also use the web site to learn more about the history of the Arc-a-Teks and their muse-like influence on many of Earth’s own famous designers and inventors

Like all our Superstructs sets, the Arc-a-Teks line is flexible and open-ended, allowing kids to combine pieces from any set for endless building options. For ages 3+; SRP: $11.95.

We are in the throws of production at our factory for the (fast approaching) holiday season. In fact, I will be there next week to review quality and (once again) update our team there on product safety. But more importantly… we’re about a month away from shipping the first Pinklets – Lilies and Friends sets to stores!

“pinklets™” Lilies and Friends builds on the success of the pinklets Fairy Garden set and invites young girl builders to create their own stories in a magical new setting. The Lilies and Friends theme includes plastic rods, connectors, wheels and decorative EVA flowers, leaves and wings and plans to build friends and beautiful flowers.
