OAK BROOK, Ill., Feb. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TOMY
International, a leading global designer, producer and marketer of
toys and infant products, leans into innovation with its Toy Fair
2018 introduction of KiiPix™, an affordable instant picture printer
that produces retro-stylized photos from any smartphone. KiiPix is
easy to use, making it a "snap" (pun totally intended!) to capture,
print, and share. KiiPix will be available in Summer 2018 in three
colors: pink, blue or black.
"With cell phones always in hand, capturing everyday moments has
never been easier. However, as convenient as it is to snap a pic
and share it socially in today's digital age, the art of exchanging
physical photos with friends and family or framing images to
display has been all but abandoned. Until KiiPix, that is," states
Peter Henseler, President of TOMY
International. "We're proud of the fact that TOMY is known for
innovation, and the launch of KiiPix is a testament to our
commitment to create exciting products that work well in today's
technology-driven world."
KiiPix creates vintage-inspired printed photos, transporting
treasured images from the digital world into the physical. KiiPix
does not require a special app or battery. Simply place any
smartphone on the KiiPix instant picture printer and print photos
from the smartphone's camera roll. Film sold separately. SRP:
$39.99 Age:13 years and up.
