Gamers spent less on Nintendo’s Amiibo and more on Lego Dimensions in July

The interactive-gaming toy market is contracting, and Nintendo and Activision are feeling it more than the competition.

Spending on gaming-related accessories, which includes interactive toys — those plastic action figures like Skylanders, Amiibo, and Lego Dimensions that connect wirelessly to compatible video games — was down 5 percent year-over-year to $117.1 million in July, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. And while Disney shook up the industry by exiting this space when it canceled its Infinity product, consumers are shaking it up by spending less on the figures from Nintendo and Activision and more on Warner Bros./Lego and … Disney.
