Toy Fair 2026 MOMOTOY

Their primary IPs include the popular DUNDUN FAMILY, along with Pear-Us, The Seedverse, and The Soft Forest Tales.

Pros of MOMOTOY

• Advanced Emotional Interaction: Unlike traditional toys, these products use "affective computing" and emotion recognition to sense and respond to a user’s actual mood.

• High Personalization: Features like voice cloning and character customization allow the toy to become a personalized "exclusive companion," fostering a long-term emotional connection.

• Multi-Language Capabilities: The AI supports multi-language conversations, making it accessible to a global audience and useful for language learning.

• Support for Creators: MOMOTOY launched a "Global Young Artists Incubation Program" that provides scholarships, co-creation projects, and revenue-sharing for emerging artists.

• Collector Appeal: The brand bridges the gap between high-end art and play, featuring limited editions like a 99.9% pure gold DUNDUN figure.

   

   

Cons and Risks

• Privacy and Security Concerns: Like many AI-powered toys, MOMOTOY products collect sensitive data, including voices and interaction patterns. Industry experts warn that AI toys are often "wolves in sheep's clothing" regarding data privacy.

• Vulnerability to Breaches: While MOMOTOY claims secure processing, the broader AI toy category has seen major failures; for instance, the AI toy "Bondu" recently exposed 50,000 private chat logs due to a simple authentication flaw.

• Impact on Child Development: Child advocacy groups like Fairplay argue that AI companions can "prey on children's trust" and displace the "imaginative labor" of traditional play where kids create both sides of a conversation.

• Stifling Creativity: Some experts worry that because AI toys drive play through preloaded scripts and prompts, they may actually stifle the development of emotional regulation and problem-solving compared to analog toys.

• Technical Dependency: These toys typically require a Wi-Fi connection and a companion app for full functionality, making them vulnerable to "hallucinations" or inappropriate responses if the underlying AI model isn't strictly gated.
