As previously mentioned, I was going to be a part of Toy Fair 2016 and lock in my sixth straight year at this amazing convention as a member of the online press. The coverage for this year’s go round was going to be presented to the readers of both of my websites with the more collectible action figures and fantasy stuff going to PiercingMetal.com and the more for younger audiences stuff happening right here.

For the past six years, my PiercingMetal.com outlet has been attending The American International Toy Fair as a representative of the media and for those new to the presentations, let me explain that this massive, industry only convention is one that showcases the latest and greatest toy and gaming offerings from the worlds most amazing companies. In the past I’ve mentioned in these little signposts that the coverage done was usually focused on the super-hero, monster and science fiction properties since that is what our Metal demographic seems to enjoy the most. Last year, I tried something different and tested the waters by adding some posts from the 2015 Convention on this site because the items in the photos didn’t fall under my main websites overall niche. With so many of our PiercingKen.com readers being family people it made a lot of sense and going forward I hope to continue to offer up a number of visuals from Toy Fair right here. Stay tuned and thanks as always for your kind attention.

As previously announced here on the Chronicles, I had attended the always amazing Toy Fair for my PiercingMetal.com website. This year I wanted to expand upon the findings at the event by using this blog to feature the stuff that just didn’t fit over there. I’ll begin with two company’s that I love and showcase some Colorforms and Folkmanis Puppets visuals.
When I was growing up, there was always something cool coming out from Colorforms and that tradition seems to be continuing into 2015 as you can see with these fun packs. Two popular licenses such as Spider-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are sure to appeal to those fans of the characters and this toy.

Now I realize that I just mentioned how I would once again be attending the fantastical Toy Fair for 2015 over at the Javits Center and how it was my fifth year doing so as a member of the press. I love this event and love sharing the findings on my PiercingMetal.com site for the fans of comic book super-heroes and science fiction movie properties but with our fifth year doing this show AND the PiercingMetal.com website reaching its 10th Anniversary this coming April, I’ve decided to try something a little different with this years coverage. Let me explain.
During the Toy Fair events of the past I have tended to focus on the type of stuff that I mentioned up above for that website but there is always so much more to see and to be quite honest, not all of that stuff is proper content for my Heavy Metal and Pop Culture site. That site sure does love having all the comic book things and action figure stuff but as I examine the aisles I am making numerous other engagements with vendors whose items are far off that mark. Since I have some photos of these wonderful sights I’ll be assembling a few short chapters right here on the PiercingKen.com site for your enjoyment and education. If this works out well enough, perhaps I will expand upon the idea with the 2016 coverage if I am attending the convention. It’s all aimed at raising your awareness of the cool things we are observing in our Metropolis and to bring some hopefully interesting growth to the PiercingKen.com website. Those posts will fall under the Event Reviews area and shall start being posted in the coming days. See you then.

Just a quick post to let our readers of the PiercingKen.com site know that I was once again attending Toy Fair as a member of the accredited press and would be covering the event over on PiercingMetal.com. This will be my fifth year attending and I would be joined by Skeleton Pete for this adventure as well. This year the plan on delivery of the coverage will be a bit different and instead of lumping all of the events and sights together in one weeks time over a select handful of postings, I will instead be adding posts for the next several weeks and perhaps months for your larger enjoyment. The rationale behind this is based on the fact that so many of the items seen in said visuals will not be out for months.
Thanks for listening, please stay tuned for more PiercingKen observations as they come to me. With PiercingMetal.com now in its new fashion, this blog will be used more often to spotlight some of the stuff that we want to be sure that you see. Just an FYI that comments have been disabled for this post and can instead be left on the various topics that are applicable over on PiercingMetal.com
