Hey there readers so before I get into this latest clip, I am going to ask if you remembered my sharing the Official Teaser. You probably don’t because that was posted more than a year and a half ago and I admit to not being in the loop with the reason for this being the case. It’s not like this is something new as the first trailer for “The New Mutants” was discussed on PiercingMetal.com around that long ago too and the film still has not seen the light of day. Anyway, click HERE to see the teaser I am talking about and lets’s remind everyone that “Artemis Fowl” is a Science-Fantasy adventure that is based on the novel by writer Eoin Colfer. The movie will be directed by the great Kenneth Branagh and the Official Trailer is now available to share with you. Let’s take a look.

The Premise:
Artemis Fowl is a 12-year-old genius and a descendant of a long line of criminal masterminds. He searches for his father, who has mysteriously disappeared, and comes into conflict with the hidden world of the fairies.

As previously mentioned, the Media High Command of “The Chronicles” AND the PiercingMetal.com website were in attendance at the annual Toy Fair and believe it or not this was our 10th time attending as a member of the press. One of the highlights of the Toy Fair is the unveiling of the products that were given the title of “Toy Of The Year” and this is a feature that I post exclusively on “The Chronicles”. Its mostly because of the age-groups of the products so let’s have the envelope please and see these winners. Some narrative and links will be interspersed as I find inspiration. Enjoy.

To the readers of my PiercingMetal website, the name and activity by the great Yoshiki is very well known because I’ve been writing about his adventures in music and philanthropy for years in posts that you can examine HERE. With this news being more fashion in theme, I’ve decided to use “The Chronicles” because we’ve been to a number of fashion events with this outlet and felt that such news would fall better here. Let’s take a look down below.

This years event will mark my 10th annual visit to the trade show as a part of the press and comes in advance of this websites own 10th anniversary so I feel there is much cause for celebration. The Toy Fair coverage used to be solely done on PiercingMetal but once “The Chronicles” started getting a lot of attention, I expanded some of the adventures here. I’ve scheduled quite a few appointments and am looking forward to seeing what the folks at Crayola, Tokidoki, Playmobil, Schleich, Safari Limited and so many more have in store for us. You’re going to want to tune into our Official Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to see all of the awesome as fast as we do.
