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.

Are you ready for the big reveal? 10, 9, 8…oh just scroll on down 🙂
