Wyncor’s first patented products to market include:

  • Miraball™, a collectible toy that features two “Little but Legendary” surprises. Boasting new patented technology, the 2¾-inch diameter colorful blind pack ball reveals three secrets. Under the wrap is a vibrantly painted metal dangler ball. When the ball is popped open, a large hidden plushy charm expands to over 4-inches in diameter, thanks to the innovation of a new ultra-shrinkable memory foam plush. The Miraball™️, featuring Miraculous™, made its retail debut in fall 2023 across 20 markets; and in the U.S. at brick-and-mortar stores Target, Fred Meyer, and Meijer, and online at Amazon. Consumer demand for the new toy led to Wyncor securing licensing rights for multiple other brands, with launches upcoming for PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and SpongeBob SquarePants from ParamountPeppa PigMy Little Pony, Transformers, and Monopoly from Hasbroand Emoji Company.
  • ReClay is the first toy compound that transforms from a solid state to a fluid state, again and again. ReClay becomes smooth and soft in warm water and is ready to be shaped into any object—a figurine, a bracelet, a bowl, for example—and cures within minutes into a hard and durable item that can be displayed as is or painted with water-soluble acrylic colors. The product softens again when immersed in warm water. The product launches with eight colors, a starter kit, a figurine starter kit, and figurine molds. The first licensed brands to feature on ReClay include PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and SpongeBob SquarePants from Paramountand ZAG’s Miraculous™.
  • SwopPop (patent filed), a fashion-forward line of unique “minipop” bags that are fully customizable and interchangeable with a wide range of SWOPs—handles, straps, ears, and figurines; and POPs, badges that clip on with the small pop sound. All Swops and Pops come in unique stackable and reusable transparent PopBoxes. The SwopPop range includes Swops and Pops for the PopBear, PopBunny, PopBat and the PopGiraffe. Licensed range of Swops and Pops include Miraculous™ and Emoji.
  • Mon Ami (French for “my friend”), a range of 9½-inch glossy and glittery-eyed animal friends that feature uniquely tooled 3D and 3-layer resin eyes, 3D eyelashes, and a stitched badge for authenticity. Choose wisely – choose your spirit BFF. The first Mon Ami range, Mon Ami Kwamis, feature the Kwamis from Miraculous™ and launched fall 2023 reaching the top 30 products on Amazon within the first month. The Spring 2024 line features some of today’s most popular animals including the axolotl, blue-ringed octopus, bat, penguin, narwhal, and deer, with their sparkling eyes and lashes.
