Everything you need to know about the May issue of Toy World, how you can get involved and the deadlines to make a note of.

Our next edition will include a comprehensive category feature on Dolls & Collectibles, as well as regular features such as Talking Shop, Letter from America, Allegedly and all the latest industry news.

Published at the start of May, this issue will also have a licensing focus, and feature an extended Licensing World section, which will be open to both licensors and licensees. There will be a dedicated Hot Properties section which – as the name suggests – focuses on licensed properties, and a separate section featuring Character Licensed Merchandise, which will allow licensees to showcase their latest licensed launches. With Licensing Expo on the horizon, the May issue will also give Vegas exhibitors the chance to shine a spotlight on their characters and brands, putting them in front of the decision-makers in the kids’ space..

Last but certainly not least, the Toymaster May show makes a welcome return this month, from 17th-19th May, and there will be a comprehensive Toymaster feature in this issue, which will give suppliers the chance to showcase their new introductions to every single Toymaster member and toy indie, to help them decide which lines to support and invest in for the remainder of 2022.

The deadline for editorial in the May issue will be the 1st April, and the deadline for adverts will be the 14th April.
