Hello again my friends and kind readers of “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”, I’m back once more to continue along with the findings from last weeks adventure at the Toy Insider “Spring Fling” Toy Preview for 2024. It was held at the Lavan Midtown event space and brought together the industry, the influencers and the media (queue dramatic music). Having been to a number of the Toy Insider happenings at this point I am always trying to present the posts in the best way possible and with the “Spring Fling” have decided to lead with company succinct focuses. Let’s begin.
The folks at LEGO had a wonderful booth that had all sorts of coolness from a number of franchises along with their own creator offerings. I’ll chime in when I feel the need to.
Here’s a building set from the hit Science Fiction films “Dune”. Truth be told I’ve never read these books or saw the original films. I’ve heard good things about the recent films and must find the almost 8 hours that I’ll need to immerse myself in them.
My momma always had the green thumb in the family and still does. These LEGO plants are more up my alley since no maintenance other than keeping them away from the cat if you have one.
Fans of the “Harry Potter” franchise will love this set.
The model of the classic Polaroid camera will appeal to many of the shutterbugs of the world. I’d like this for myself even though I never owned a Polaroid camera.
The astronaut building kit kinda reminded me of the MTV Moon Man. Maybe they should make that. I am sure it would be a hit.
R2D2 is more up my alley though as a long time fan of the “Star Wars” franchise. I don’t own any LEGO sets but do admit I get a hankering when there is a Star Wars or a cool Superhero set on the shelves.
These next sets are for the younger set and have nice big bricks to use. They will surely be easier to collect and find if a piece or two go missing. I know I always misplace stuff but hey let’s continue.
These were just a part of the booth decor but I liked them. Maybe I can get my hands on one and paint something related to KISS on them. That would make a cool bit of apartment decoration.
I just love the stuff that VTech brings to the table but as you might have guessed the overall skew is for a much younger audience than I have in my own family circle. Everything they have is so vibrant and colorful and having seen demonstrations of a lot of the items you will see down below can attest that they are quite fun. Quality stuff that inspires creativity. Keep up the fine work VTech.
The folks from Sunny Days Entertainment brought a whole bunch of products from their super cute “Honey Bee Acres” world. These miniature animals and their playsets are just so charming and really collectible if such things are on your mind. I think its safe to say that once you get into this line you will be hooked.
Please don’t be mad at me for only snapping a shot of this dragon at the Crayola table. I thought that I had done some more but oops I did not. Listen, we always stop at their table at Toy Insider events and even give them extensive love when we do the Toy Fair so there will be another time.
Let me wrap this one up and thank you for your kind attention to the proceedings. It’s always my hope that when you see this stuff you head to the Amazon site or whatever place you secure your gifts like this from. My hope is also that you enjoyed the new twist on the posting and I do have a few more images to share but you will need to wait on those for the time being. While you wait I want to ask you to hit up the Piercing Ken social media profiles via our Linktree by clicking HERE and to also peruse the websites of the exhibitors that were broadcast in this post. See you next time. Thanks again.
