Leave a comment

Well hello there and welcome back my friends, you have safely landed on another installment of my Toy Insider “Holiday Of Play” features. If you missed the first chapter that ran, you’re going to want to click HERE to see it. Much like my Toy Fair postings, I wander each booth with some focus to let their wonders shine through your computer or mobile screens. I’m starting off with a giant-sized version of the game “Ker-plunk”, I remember this as a kid but this giant one looks like madness.

Exploring The Toy Insiders 2017 “Holiday Of Play”: Part 1

Hello my friends and welcome to this latest adventure. It wasn’t that long ago when we last spent some time with the folks over at The Toy Insider for their annual “Sweet Suite” event. If you missed that group of narratives just click HERE so you can see what it was all about.  The “Holiday Of Play” is a smaller event of theirs but in a sense even more impacting because its aimed at the products that they found to be the best in the marketplace.

After heading up to the Penthouse of this Manhattan skyscraper, we were greeted by copies of the annual guidebook that they publish.

It was only a couple of weeks ago when I attended my second ever Toy Insider “Sweet Suite” which was held at Chelsea Piers. This is an amazing toy preview event and if you didn’t see the coverage that I posted you can click HERE to launch a tab and see it all. Now one of the cool parts of the “Sweet Suite” is that after all is said and done you get sent a SWAG box. Our box recently arrived and was MASSIVE. It was also about 24LBS which was a shock.

Sights and Scenes From The Toy Insider “Sweet Suite” 2017: Part 1

As a creative who’s been covering the American International Toy Fair since 2011, I must admit that it’s been a blast to expand the event narratives right here on “The Chronicles Of PiercingKen”. I decided to do that in addition to what goes up on PiercingMetal.com but this is about another event entirely for you see back back in 2016, I was fortunate enough to meet the kind folks at The Toy Insider

It was great to add this happening to my series of toy related narratives and while last years event was on a luxury yacht, this years showcase was down in the Chelsea Piers which according to Skeleton Pete has happened there a few times before. Giving this an overlook as we walked in to set up, it felt like this would be a better way to absorb the items being showcased since it was all on one level. With the yacht, you were on three floors and there was a chance to miss something by accident. One never wants to miss anything at an event like this when it comes to toys.
