Every supplier publishes a top ten. This one is different in one respect: the ten are the actual formats in our own range, with what each one is for, rather than a list assembled from other people’s catalogues.
1. The boxed motorised gun
Electric bubble gun with lights and music. The default choice for most buyers, and the one a shop can put on a shelf unaltered. Motorised, so the child only holds a trigger, which is what made this format replace the manual wand at the volume end of the market.
2. The automatic cartoon gun
Automatic electric bubble gun in cartoon styling. Same mechanism as above with a different face, which matters more than it sounds — two designs of the same product on a shelf outsell double the quantity of one.
3. The animal shape
The capybara gun is the clearest example of why shapes sell. The mechanism is ordinary; the animal is not, and the animal is what the child picks.
4. The blister-card version
The same gun on a blister card. Identical product, different route to market: blister packing hangs on a retail peg, which is what a small shop or a chain with limited shelf depth needs.
5. The LED cartoon gun
Cartoon bubble gun in four LED designs. Light raises the perceived value considerably and costs little to add. Suitable for markets where sound is unwelcome but light is not.
6. The LED animal gun
Giraffe and elephant designs with LED. Two animals, one body — a cheap way to widen a range without widening your stockholding.
7. The bubble-in-bubble gun
Dinosaur bubble-in-bubble gun. Produces a bubble inside a bubble, which is a visible difference rather than a styling one, and visible differences are what justify a higher price beside cheaper units.
8. The novelty format
The saxophone machine. A bubble toy that is also an object a child wants on a shelf. Novelty formats sell to gift buyers and to shops that need something the shop down the road does not have.
9. The hand-held large machine
The hand-held large machine. More output, more presence, and it reads as the serious option to an older child. This is the format that carries a higher price point in a mixed order.
10. The garden machine
The remote control sunflower machine. Not a gun in the handheld sense, but it belongs in the same buying decision because it serves the same customer at a different moment — the garden rather than the street, and it moves, which is what children chase.
How to choose from the ten
Pick by age group first, then by channel. Younger children do better with light manual formats and no sound; older children want output and size. Shops want boxed and shelf-ready; market traders want cheap and instantly legible; online sellers want something that demonstrates in a video.
Our minimum is 5 pieces per design and designs mix freely, so a first order can be one of several formats rather than a bet on one. Ask for carton figures on anything you are considering, and we will tell you which designs share a body, because that saves money on both freight and spare stock. WhatsApp: +86 173 4881 6397.
