Hello my friends and welcome to what I feel is a fun announcement. By now I think that most of you know just how much I love using the Official Instagram for the PiercingMetal website and when events like the New York Comic Con or Anime NYC happen, I tend to go overboard with the feed. It’s not my fault of course and just based on how much awesome that I get to see at these events. Now onto the main news. You might have seen this news already but I am so excited to be in attendance as one of the press at the returning New York International Toy Fair or just simply “Toy Fair” to their friends and colleagues. The massive trade show has been on pause since its 2020 event based on the pandemic and while there were attempts to do it earlier it just didn’t manifest. Since I will be in attendance for all four of the days I expect to see plenty of the exhibitors I’ve followed and hope to meet a few new ones as well. My plan is to share a lot of the finds with you here while I assemble larger coverage for the website and I will most certainly be doing videos this time around as well. Consider this a takeover of sorts but I don’t know how big of one I will do since the New York Comic Con is rapidly approaching after this. The return of a trade show like Toy Fair means its time to pull out all the stops in addition to Instagram there will be TikToks and other assorted social media and our like-minded geeks can keep pace with the website editorial pieces by clicking HERE. The first of our Instagram images is linked below and most of them will be exclusive to our Instagram with the occasional making an appearance in our four-day coverage of the trade show. I hope you enjoy the discoveries that I find at this incredible return.
At the time of this posting there are almost 11K images on our Instagram and I think that with the upcoming images from this Toy Fair, in addition to the New York Comic Con and Anime NYC that will be following shortly after I am probably going to reach that particular goal. It’s also too early too say just how many images I will post from Toy Fair but I will share some of the companies that I am most excited to see after all this time and that’s Super7, NECA, The Loyal Subjects, McFarlane Toys and really too many more to list. Since my first go-round at Toy Fair in 2011, I’ve expanded coverage to my Piercing Ken brand as well and I’ve figured out how best to navigate the show but its still massive and takes a lot out of you. As I begin to post things please make sure to engage with it so I can do the same back. The way these socials work nowadays its much more than only the followers and I always do my best to reply or like your comment back if you are on topic. Of course if you go off the deep end those submissions get zapped very quickly. It should be interesting and revealing and cause some anticipation in toy fans that see the feed because the Toy Fair is not open to the public and many of the products might not be coming out straight away and are only the prototypes at the time that we see them. Now its time to get to work, thanks for reading and welcome back Toy Fair. Oh yeah one last thing, please be sure to help PiercingMetal and Ken Pierce Media along with some support of our other social media platforms found on the Official Linktree. Ciao.
