"Today was the very first day of Toy Fair 2020! We’re sorry you couldn’t be with us today, as we rung in a whole new decade for Toy Fair. Here’s everything you missed…
Toys,
toys, and even more toys! Thousands of toys made their debut at Toy
Fair 2020, with more than 260 exhibiting
companies out on the show floor. Hundreds of journalists from
newspapers, broadcasters, and radio flocked to Toy Fair to get hands-on
with the launches and meet the people behind them. We were delighted to
host the likes of BBC News, The Sun, The Guardian,
Daily Mirror, Associated Press, BBC 5 Live, and more.
This
morning, the BTHA opened the show with an overview of industry
performance going into the new year. Andrew Laughton,
BTHA chairman, Frederique Tutt, analyst from The NPD Group and Nick
Richardson, CEO of Kids Insights, joined a special panel on Toy Fair TV
to discuss these important figures.
This
morning, the BTHA also announced the winners of Toy Fair’s Hero Toys.
These 25 toys, selected by a panel of independent
retailers and industry experts, showcase the most innovative and
exciting launches at Toy Fair 2020. Featuring entries from Character
Options, Hasbro and Spin Master, the toys are on display outside the
press office and are the ideal place to start any visit
to Toy Fair. We also had visits from TV personalities Nadiya Hussain
and Steven Mulhern who was launching his new game.
There’s
just too much to talk about – and there’s even more to come! Tomorrow,
Toy Fair will be buzzing with our very
first Influencer Day. With more and more influencers and content
creators attending the show, our new Influencer Day is a one-stop shop
to get hands-on with our exhibitors’ creations. With many influential
toy bloggers and YouTubers signed up to attend, it’s
set to be a corker!
We’ll have all the latest and greatest toys on the show floor, as well as exclusive offers from exhibitors such as
Coiledspring Games, Gibsons, Zimpli Kids, Wildcard Games plus lots more. Doors open tomorrow at 9am, and close at 6pm.
Don’t miss out – we’ll see you there!
