New Name, Same Great Show: ToyFest West in Long Beach

15 Mar

We’ve got a big toy show happening soon and it’s got a new name: ToyFest West! Formerly known as the Western States Toy and Hobby show, this year’s event will be going down March 24th through March 27th in lovely Long Beach. You don’t want to miss it – so many great lines exhibit at this show and give you an opportunity for direct hands-on interaction with their products. There’s also a Gala reception, the always popular game night, and a “Best of the Fest” presentation by ASTRA that’s open to any retailers attending the show. Again, you don’t want to miss it!

Hot Toys from the WTHRA show on KTLA!

18 May

I’m a little late getting this posted, but this is a very cool feature from KTLA news on the WTHRA toy show and the hot toys for summer. The WTHRA show was held back in March in Long Beach and if you didn’t have a chance to attend the show, this video clip gives you a very brief sampling of what you missed. I love seeing some of the great lines we work with featured, such as LockerLookz, Alex, Squishable, Ogo Sport, and Zing! And check out those sharp Toyology banners hanging from the rafters!!! Looking good.

I like the comment by the anchor at the end – “I want to be the guy that works the show…those guys are having the most fun.” By all means, look us up next time and we’ll put you to work!
