Build your own Beatles ‘Yellow Submarine’ with these fun magnetic tiles
If you’re a Beatles fan, you’ve no doubt seen the animated “Yellow Submarine” film, or at least listened to the soundtrack. The film, released in 1968, remains popular among those who remember it and those just now discovering it for the first time.
Now, you can let your imagination run wild with a new Beatles Magna-Tiles kit from CreateOn. The magnetic tiles lock together via hidden magnets, allowing fans of all ages to create their very own Yellow Submarine.
The double-sided tiles in this set can be configured into other Beatles moments, too, including Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club drum, the Magical Mystery Tour Bus, the Abbey Road crosswalk and a record player.
Though the set is listed as being appropriate for fans age 3 to 99, and kids can have fun building them, the price — $134.99 — makes them a great addition to a Beatles memorabilia collection.
“From parents and grandparents building with kids, in many cases we have seen three generations playing with these products together,” Steve Rosen of CreateOn said in a press release. “The Beatles connect generations through music and art, and our new partnership will not only give families an entirely new way to bring the iconic Beatles imagery to life and build together, but will also allow CreateOn to serve new markets of grown-ups and collectors.”
The Beatles Collection Magna-Tiles Structures will be available in late May on CreateOn’s website and Amazon for $134.99.
Other Beatles-inspired toys have captured the attention of fans of all ages as well, including Fisher-Price figurines and a Yellow Submarine Lego set.
The Lego set comes with more than 550 pieces, including mini figures of the Fab Four and a yellow submarine with a removable top and cockpit that fits all four mini figures. Accessory elements include John’s telescope, Paul’s “love” tile, Ringo’s round “half a hole” tile and George’s submarine motor.
