Our largest January issue yet is packed with all the information needed to help you make the most of the forthcoming Toy Fair season.

This edition highlights the forthcoming toy shows, in particular the London Toy Fair at Olympia. There is also the second part of our guide to the Spielwarenmesse. Both sections offer the opportunity to preview some of the new products which will be unveiled at the respective shows.

This year we have also taken a closer look at the shows, speaking to a number of companies who are returning to Toy Fair or making their debut this year.

As well as all of our regular features such as Talking Shop and Viewpoint, there are in-depth retail interviews with Toymaster, Wow! Stuff’s Richard North, Little Tikes’ Michelle Lilley, Tomy’s Mary Wood and Mattel’s Michael Hick.

The Toy World team is looking forward to catching up with you over the coming weeks. We will be out in force at the London Toy Fair, and you can catch us exploring the aisles or on our usual stand, GH37.
