 Martin Kratt interview about their new toy line!

Interviewer: What made you decide to create your own Wild Kratts Toy Line?

Martin Kratt: All of our shows have been about play, and Wild Kratts is specifically about playing with the creature powers of animals! So toys are a natural extension of the series.

Interviewer: How did you decide what toys/animals you would make?

Martin Kratt: This was the hardest part! We’ve featured so many animals in the series so far, and have activated lots of creature powers that are all really cool. We listened to our fans in the letters they wrote to us, about their favorite animals and creature power suits, and made our decisions based on what seemed to be the most popular!

Interviewer: Did you help in designing the toys?

Martin Kratt: Yes! We worked with our partners at Wicked Cool toys to come up with the ideas. And the 27 different toys in the stores now are just the beginning!  There are endless opportunities for fun, toys, and play in the Wild Kratts world.

Interviewer: Do you have a favorite toy from the line?

Martin Kratt: Right now – I’d have to say mine are the talking Martin and Chris plush. I find it hilarious that we, in our animated form, have now turned into stuffies!

Interviewer: Do you have a favorite animal?

Martin Kratt: That’s always the toughest question to answer! When I write scripts for Wild Kratts, I always learn something new about the featured animal. My favorite animal changes a lot and is usually the one I happen to be writing a Wild Kratts script about or filming.  So today, my favorite animal is a narwhal!

Interviewer: What is the coolest animal you have worked with?

Martin Kratt: That’s an impossible question for me to answer! We have worked with so many amazing animals. If had to choose the “coolest” animal, as in temperature and being cold, then it would have to be the Japanese Snow Monkey!

Interviewer: What is the scariest animal you have worked with?

Martin Kratt: That’s easy!  My brother when he can’t find his Creature Power Vest!
