If you want to know what a toy will look like on your shelf, TDmonthly Magazine lets you see it before and after it comes out of the box. Among this month's new toy videos are a trip back in time to the American Civil War, a pair of squeaky shoes, and a hippo that likes to wrap itself around cell phones.
And if you're wondering which trade event to attend, manufacturer demos from the 2006 Toy Fair and WTHRA may help you decide. Just click on the links below and watch away.
