February 14 – 17th, the 112th annual American International Toy Fair, the world’s largest toy convention, was right here, in NYC, at Jacob Javits center. Despite the brutal and dangerous cold weather, snow storms, thousands of people from all USA and over 100 countries were here too. Here you will find the latest in children’s toys, games and gadgets. This convention is home to the launch of some of the world’s coolest and most revolutionary toys. This year there were thousands of new toys and gadgets just waiting to be discovered and unveiled!
I’d love to give you a sneak preview of some of the fun and crazy products that I saw at this year’s Toy Fair 2015 show.

Hello Barbie
Mattel unveils the new Hello Barbie talking doll, which will have conversations with kids. The doll, which will retail for $79 and will be available fall 2015. To see the Hello Barbie in action and to see the video, go to my Google+ Album (link above)
Play Kitchen set
Play Kitchen sets for boys and girls with accessories, Made in USA, BPA Free and under $25. From American Plastic. The quality is OK and pretty sturdy. Nothing major but I think it’s great piece for grandma’s house or inexpensive play furniture you don’t have to worry about.
Guess who this is?
Furby + Chewbacca = FURBACCA
Hasbro’s little creatures will embrace Disney and Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” with an $80 Furby. Furbacca is his name and he has an ability to hum the “Star Wars” theme, and interact with users through built-in sensors and an app. He will be available fall 2015.
The Grumpy Cat
Although she’s sleeping, I saw the Grumpy cat in person . Her face looks pretty grumpy, but still, she’s adorable. She is the Internet celebrity known for her grumpy facial expression. The world’s only living real cat who has MILLIONS of followers on Facebook and Twitter! Crazy! Anyway, here’s my Valentine’s shot with the Grumpy cat.
Electrokidz
One of my faves – sound activated Elektrokidz from Wow Wee Toys. They move their heads while you play music or make sounds. They are great gift for kids ages 2 through adult and cost around 14-$19
MIPosaur
This robotic T. rex balances on two wheels like a Segway, responds to touch and sound, and even chases after you if you’re too rough with it. Retails for $119, From WowWee. See the original MIP that won the Toy Fair award in action
IO Hawk
IO-Hawk is one of the coolest things I saw. It is something in between the Mall Cop’s transportation device and skateboard. A self-balanced motorized personal transporter. It took me few minutes to get balanced on it and start riding. It was really cool. It can go up to 6 miles per hour and the battery lasts about 3 hours. The cost is $1800. Wow! Are they nuts? It’s a rip off. I really loved the product and would definitely buy, but willing to pay no more than $200-300 for it.
Future of Play
Another exciting thing is that this year I was helping out my friend to represent one of their client’s The Future of Play 3 new exciting toy lines. Future of Play is a new company and I like to introduce you to their toys.
