Pomona Toy Show 2006 Video Roundup

Smaller Manufacturers Get To Be Bigger Fish


The compact size of the Western States Toy and Hobby Show, held annually in Pomona, Calif., allows smaller manufacturers to shine without being overwhelmed by the shadows of the Big Boys. TDmonthly Magazine sent its video department to the show, where we found lots of great new games, arts and crafts and outdoor toys by single-product manufacturers, as well as complete lines of new products from the specialty vendors that toy stores love.

 
Update:
Because many of our older videos required Adobe Flash to play and the fact that most browsers no longer support Flash, we are in the process of converting our videos.

As a result, at this time, the 2006 ToyDirectory Western States Toy Show videos are not playing; so, for now, we have posted below, the 2008 Toy Fair videos for your viewing:


TDmonthly Magazine sent three video crews to Toy Fair 2008 in New York to find out what's really going on with specialty toys. Add these videos to your own website by following the instructions below the article.
