Checking Out Playmates Toys @ Toy Insider’s “Spring Fling” 2024

Our friends over at The Toy Insider had recently announced a brand-new event called the “Spring Fling Toy Preview” and it would be held at an event space that I never visited before as well so when the invitation came to come out and explore for the purposes of the website and its bevy of social media profiles, I could not resist. From the get go I felt that this was a great idea since the usual winter months Toy Fair was not happening and would be returning in early 2025. Of course there was a Toy Fair back in the Fall of 2023 which dedicated readers of the site already know based on the content that was posted across the realm. Once I was situated in Lavan Midtown, I began exploring and found that most of the items being exhibited were more suited to our companion website “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”. I’ll link to that later on but now its time to showcase what we found at a toy company that has been discussed on numerous occasions, Playmates Toys.

It’s without question that I love what Playmates Toys is releasing these days and over the years we’ve seen assorted variations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Voltron and Star Trek. Currently they are the holder of the license for the upcoming “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire” film and brought a lot of the line with them to the Spring Fling. Let’s take a look.

Toy Exhibitor Video Overviews from Toy Fair 2023: Part Four

The Toy Fair for 2023 was a great return to form for the massive toy industry trade show and as a media attendee for more than a decade now, I was so happy that it had returned after the pandemic pause. In addition to the photographic company recaps and all of the social media reveals including our Official Instagram Takeover, a number of exhibitor overviews were done for the Official PiercingMetal YouTube Channel. While these videos are resident on the Channel itself, I’ve compiled them into a series of posts to expand the events presence on the website. Our fourth and final installment for this website shares the finds at the Toy Tokyo booth. They brought a number of their Redoneye Astronauts with them and they were something else.
