You know what? Despite having building sets from several other makers, we have no K’NEX products here at Rock Father HQ. That might have to change soon, as the toymaker has announced new licensed sets involving KISS and THE BEATLES’ YELLOW SUBMARINE. Personally, I’m really digging the KISS Tour Semi (the “Rock Stage Big Rig”) that I’m about to show you below. The following new items will debut at Toy Fair in New York this weekend…
KISS K’NEX Building Sets
KISS is one of America’s top gold-record champions who recorded 37 albums over 36 years and sold more than 100 million albums worldwide! The KISS legacy continues to grow, generation after generation.

THE BEATLES – “Yellow Submarine” K’NEX
A pop culture force, The Beatles redefined music for their own generation and generations to come; they also redefined art, fashion and entertainment. The Beatles were responsible for several films that were well ahead of their time, including their only animated and most recognizable film, the animated classic – Yellow Submarine.
Designed for children ages 5+, the new K’NEX building toys bring the fun of the Yellow Submarine movie to the child and expand its appeal through a rewarding, age-appropriate building experience. In a deal brokered by Live Nation Merchandise, The Beatles North American licensing agent, the sets combine the well-known images of the beloved Beatles and the award-winning K’NEX building system, capturing the essence of Yellow Submarine in all of its whimsical charm.
The Beatles Yellow Submarine: Buildable Figures Series 2
