Here’s a vendor that I regularly visit at Toy Fair, mainly because the product is pretty nifty. PlusPlus is a very simple construction toy that is one piece: a “++,” which is where the toy got its name. It’s made of a softer plastic and is crafted just a tiny bit large, so the parts clutch each other.
These parts can be built to make shapes and models – they just are generally squarish and have ++ color patterns. On one hand, the exactness of a model will never be ‘true’, but on the other hand, building to the limitations of the part make for some creative solutions!
in 2019, PlusPlus is releasing a bunch of new construction sets. Here’s a sampling:
Apollo
The Astronaut, Lunar Module, and Saturn V rocket are sold in clear tubes. The Baseplate Builder set is sold in a header card.
Picture Puzzles
A larger PlusPlus for younger builders is available for making puzzles. There are different color families that can be purchased in both the large and small size.
