Deadline Extended for Specialty Toys Report!

Didn't Get an Email in Time for the June 1 Deadline? Submit by June 13!

A number of manufacturers pointed out to TDmonthly Magazine that they never received our initial email requesting samples for the TDmonthly Specialty Toys Report and TDmonthly Top Toy Awards. After some consideration, we've decided to extend the deadline to June 13 to accommodate those whose invitational emails never reached them.

Please check your email settings to allow emails from ToyDirectory.com!

Submit your product(s) by sending a sample to the address below. A maximum of three submissions per manufacturer will be accepted, so please choose your best products!

There is no submission fee, but TDmonthly staff must receive all samples by June 13 in order to see and evaluate each product.

Retailers! Want a chance to nominate your favorite toys? Simply leave a message in the comments section below.

Award categories include TDmonthly Top Toy 2008, TDmonthly Top Seller 2008, TDmonthly Innovations 2008 and TDmonthly Classic. The report will be published and winners announced in mid-August.
