Tiger Electronics Headlines the Holiday Season with an Innovative, Stylish and Music-Friendly Line of Tween Lifestyle Electronics
With a focus on music, innovation, style, and that elusive ‘cool
factor,’ Hasbro, Inc.’s
(NYSE: HAS) Tiger Electronics today unveiled its fall 2007 product
lineup to New York area media at a private, hands-on event. Held at the
Gibson Guitar Showroom in New York - formerly known as The Hit Factory,
a legendary recording studio - the venue was the perfect setting to
display Tiger Electronics’ hits in the making.
The brand has earned a reputation over the years for identifying and
bringing to market some of the hottest tech toys for kids.
From the POWER TOUR Electric Guitar, an authentic-sounding Gibson
replica type guitar featuring touch sensors instead of strings that
teaches tweens to play real rock songs and TOOTHTUNES, the toothbrush
that encourages kids to brush by playing two minutes of music, to NET
JET, an instant-play online game system, Tiger Electronics offers a wide
array of products designed for today’s tech
savvy, music oriented, on-the-go kid.
"Tiger Electronics has the ability to bring to
market exactly what kids want – a really cool,
affordable product line that addresses a tween’s
desire for music, technology and lifestyle products designed and made
just for them,” said Sharon John, general
manager, Tiger Electronics. "As we approach
the holiday season, Tiger Electronics is focused on reaching tweens
through a wide assortment of marketing programs that touch their lives
through the variety of media vehicles that they engage with daily.”

or ‘indie.’
