Bitcoin toys can help in promotion of bitcoin, like someone said kid's now are much smarter then before, and they have more knowledge about computers then their parents.
So yes btc toys are just one way of promotion, I see it like that. Will it help or not depends from many factor's: who will made it, quality of that toys, story behind toy's ( some cartoons or game's ), marketing.. and other things.
I see potential in this, but it's important how will someone approach to this problematic. If someone do things correctly I think he can expect nice prize from this.

how can you say that bitcoin is a toy. bitcoin is a coin. i think it is one the best onlne currency it will certainly help us.
i think it will help children to enlighten to the world of bitcoin. Bringing up while there are a child is a great idea just like playing along with other toys
and make some story of it. Like fairy tails where bitcoin came to reality.
and make some story of it. Like fairy tails where bitcoin came to reality.
Now spreading as well promotion is highly required, so at least to a small extend these bitcoin toys would help in increased adoption or people to know about the new technology.
There is no harm in trying as they say. Unless this bitcoin related toy would be horrible designed, offensive in some way, plain stupid or just boring - I don't see why not we can have something like this.
But from the other side I don't see many FIAT based toys to begin with. So I have little idea what that Bitcoin Toy would be.

Yes it is a good idea if bitcoin will make toys of bitcoin, it really helpful to introduce in public and also in other countries. because when children will play bitcoin's toy than most of the people have awareness and than which people who don't know about bitcoins than they will ask about bitcoins.
What the hell is a toy based on bitcoin? I'm not trolling here people. A red ball with a BTC symbol?
Money based toys tend to be money. Like monopoly money for example. Or fake gold coins in a pirate chest. Essentially, the toys model behaviors for dealing with money, raising familiarity rather than teaching concepts. That being said, a testnet version of a coin for a value type game like monopoly would fill this, providing direct experience with the currency in the form of making transactions.
If anyone makes bitcoin monopoly, I want my cut dammit. I will sue.

In Japan starting from 3 years old they give things and toys that parents wanted to be to there children. From those early ages they are exposed on what they want to be when they grow up. So they can call them Professional on what they finish. Putting on there mind that it will gonna make them rich someday. For sure they will not forgotten all the things that they see from there childhood.
This post is actually in reference to another post. It's really hard to take it serious for some reason. In theory it sounds rather meaningful but I don't really think it can be useful in any way. This person didn't actually suggest toys based on Bitcoin, but it actually made me go from their point to this one. Do you really think toys based on Bitcoin could be utilized to actually raise our children to be educated on the currency? Do you think they'd actually enjoy the toys? Do you think they can actually grasp what Bitcoin even is? I just feel like trying to teach small children anything huge and confusing is a bad idea because children naturally have undeveloped mindsets to not even be able to grasp what certain things mean. That's why you can't sue children, that's why children don't have jobs and that's why children can't drive.
Curious though, if you wanted to invent a Bitcoin toy, what would you make?

actually it would be a good idea for young children, but we can only put
certain thing about bitcoin for them to learn at a young age that way they
will have an idea what bitcoin is as they grow just like fiat money.

Not sure about bitcoin toys,but i just wat to suggest you to invest on bitcoin souvenir,its better than toys,we know toys is for childern,and its make your market limited,but if souvenier,you will get many market chance,bitcoiner will love souvenir and ordinary people also will love it.Curious though, if you wanted to invent a Bitcoin toy, what would you make?
As you quoted toys were mostly used by the kids but it has a big market. But souvenir were less used and I believe bitcoin to reach normal people only way is through ads.

This will definitely have an impact on children. But the toy needs to have them engaged with it. They probably won't understand it now. But as they grow up they might start researching about it and end up getting into it.
i dont think toys can help

There really are no ideas or concepts for a Bitcoin toy, and chances are none of them would sell.But from the other side I don't see many FIAT based toys to begin with. So I have little idea what that Bitcoin Toy would be.
I enjoy Bitcoin, and I can't think of anything Bitcoin-related that I would want to play with, or I would want my kids playing with.

Maybe a work out machine, produce electricity, with that electricity, mine Bitcoin, the more you work out, the more coins you make.
All you need is some forms of toys a kid can play and make coins. This sounds like a good idea.

Anything can be useful for bitcoins if it is related to bitcoins in some way or other. Getting Bitcoins in the toys and involving kids in it is a great from of marketing as Kids love toys and you can make toys which involves bitcoins.
What would be cool if there was a bitcoin toy, but it was actually a miner, so it makes coins, and it looks like a bitcoin with your balance on a little screen on the front. However it would use up electricity, and be less effective over time. I think it could help promote bitcoin.
You don't need toys. The average kid isn't going to associate their toy with a global p2p currency system. Just give them some Bitcoin to spend on something.
It's not a good way to introduce kids on bitcoin with let them spend a money to bought something, I think there are many ways like bitcoin game. 
Is there any bitcoin toy that i can see, i searched on google but no concrete result, maybe having a toy like puzzle and completing it like the big bitcoin logo probably will help kids thinking about bitcoin lol.

Yep it will help us to know other people why we stay online always, to understand how we get money in the internet, to know that this is not illegal, to prove that there is money in internet,
