The days of the CRT TV are lost upon the younger generations, but they’re making their way back into kids’ and adults’ collectible cases through Tiny TVs from Basic Fun.
The 1.5-by-3 inch, Tiny TVs are real-working sets that feature famous scenes and quotes from iconic shows and movies. Each Tiny TV comes with a matching remote that features volume, mute, power, and channel buttons that control the Tiny TV and allow users to switch from scene to scene. When users are done with the Tiny TV, they can place the item and remote on an included, custom backdrop scene for display.
The titles currently available are Friends, Back to the Future, Batman ’66, and South Park. Each of these Tiny TVs shows off a retro style reminiscent of that show’s era. For instance, Back to the Future’s is ‘80s, CRT TV-esque with its antennas and knobs. Other titles launching in October include Star Trek, Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, and Big Bang Theory.
Basic Fun will be showing this new line at the Toy Insider‘s Sweet Suite @ Home event, which will be taking place tomorrow from 11 a.m. — 7 p.m. ET. Sweet Suite press and influencer guests will be meeting with over 50 toy companies for scavenger hunts, games, presentations, giveaways, contests, and more. Each Tiny TV costs $25, and the aforementioned titles are currently available at Walmart.
