Toyetic
Toyetic is a term referring to the suitability of a media property, such as a cartoon or movie, for merchandising tie-in lines of licensed toys, games and novelties. The term is attributed to Bernard Loomis, a toy development executive for Kenner Toys, in discussing the opportunities for marketing the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, telling its producer Steven Spielberg that the movie was not "toyetic" enough, leading Loomis towards acquiring the lucrative license for the upcoming Star Wars properties.

Toyetic
Toyetic is a term referring to the suitability of a media property, such as a movie, for merchandising tie-in lines of licensed toys, games and novelties. For example, Saturday morning cartoons in the early 1980s and 1990s were well known for this. In 1977, Kenner Toys advertising and development executive Bernard Loomis discussed the marketability of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a film in preproduction by director Steven Spielberg. Loomis told Spielberg that his Close Encounters sounded great, but it wasn't "toyetic." Spielberg conceded and told Loomis to license the Star Wars property, made by his friend George Lucas, instead, which Loomis later did. Some companies, such as the Sanrio Corporation, specialize in creating toyetic properties such as Hello Kitty and her friends.
