Fun In Motion Toys, known for its innovative creations, has unveiled a new category of construction toys: “Confluxion,” building toys that move and flex. The toys will be featured in aisle 800 of ASTRA Marketplace & Academy.
Fun In Motion will occupy booths 804 and 809, where retailers can sign up for the in-store play programs, tutorials, demos, and display units. Attendees can also get their hands on the latest toys and meet the inventors. Some toys will be spotlighted from brands including TECTI, HyperTiles, Nockles, Shashibo, and Wandini.

Some “Confluxion” toys have been recognized and become best sellers. The TECTI Kinetic Building System was just named as a finalist in the Building category for this year’s ASTRA Play Awards. The magnetic puzzle cube, Shashibo, topped the Amazon sales charts in the Toys & Games category consistently in the fourth quarter of 2023. The company has sold more than 5 million Shashibos so far. Additionally, the Wandini Glow.0 was named one of last summer’s top toys by The Toy Book’s consumer-facing sister publication, The Toy Insider.
