The Toy Association’s Toy Fair just wrapped up its 2025 Trade Show at the Javits Center and this event found them bringing the show back to the first quarter of the year after doing one in the Fall of 2023. They would bypass 2024 entirely to reframe and recalibrate the affair and I was excited to be bringing the PiercingMetal website into the mix once again. I’ve been attending with the outlet since 2011 which made the most recent event my 12th year of attending in a professional capacity. Over the last few years I’ve been using the Piercing Ken website for some additional Toy Fair coverage and since there was so much to document over these last few days that process will continue. I’ll also be using the Ken Pierce Media website to tie everything together as that has seemed to work out well when both sides of the creative coin are being utilized. My plan for PiercingMetal documentation is to do a number of exhibitor spotlight posts until I’m done with the stuff that our readership likes and then I’ll add in any of the videos that have been done for YouTube to wrap it up. I will probably do my standard of no more than “50” images in each post since that has helped me work with things like the New York Comic Con very well. Let’s begin.
Upon walking into the Javits Center one couldn’t help but notice the impressive Formula 1 race car that the folks from Mattel had set up right there in the lobby. It was promoting one of their latest offerings for “Hot Wheels”.
Last week, PiercingMetal was once again invited to participate in the annual “Sweet Suite”, a mega-toy preview event held by the fine folks over at The Toy Insider. Today’s affair would be held at a brand-new event space to my list called The Glass House. If memory serves me correctly, I’ve been attending the groups events since 2016 and now the coverage spans across all three of my websites. The more adult collector stuff gets shown here and now its time to share some of the videos that were done at the event. Starting off is the amazing “Transformers” robots from Robosen. These are so damned cool.

Hey there my friends, its now time to welcome you to the second installment from the Day Four exploration of the famed New York Comic Con, and as previously noted, this will end the day to day coverage pieces that you’ve been enjoying for the last week or so. Doing it in this fashion does take a little more time but its truly wonderful to be able to share so much content with you all. As this continues the adventuring during the “Family Day” I can stress that the event was super duper crowded and this is always nice to see. Sure crowds can get a bit overwhelming at times but I loved seeing the masses down in the Artist Alley since that is the best place for the talent to make some money. OK as I’ve mentioned time and time again, if you are just now joining us and digging into the coverage of the New York Comic Con, you are going to want to click HERE first as that will open up a brand-new browser tab with all of the posts that preceded this one. Now let’s pick up from where I left off and these items from Sumerian Comics.
