Toy Fair 2018: WowWee

Toy Fair Mega Post 

If you can believe it, once upon a time, WowWee wasn’t the home of Fingerlings.  They didn’t even exist! (gasp!).  They brought incredible robotics stuff to life, like MiP and RoboSapien.  But…Fingerlings are a thing now, and that is incredible for both WowWee and everyone else, runaway success, adorable toy, hours of fun, and affordable!  That doesn’t mean WowWee is abandoning their roots though, they are taking the time to create and make great tech toys again, and we will see the fruits of those labors soon.  For now, at Toy Fair 2018, WowWee had a ton of great Fingerlings stuff, and games to show us!

Fingerlings | Fingerlings Hugs | What’s That Smell?

Fingerlings

Fingerlings proper, expands with more Fingerlings, more play sets, and hey, did you hear they won a Toy of the Year award?  In addition to the main line, we get bracelet hangers, and the Fingerlings line is expanding through licensing as well.  Tons of great companies are picking up the adorable characters for use on everything from back pack hangers to games!  For real though, the Fingerlings Carousel? It’s gonna be tough to beat that.

Fingerlings Hugs

Hugs!  Big Fingerlings that you can hug!  Amazing quality plush, coming soon!

What’s That Smell?

What wasn’t about Jurassic Park at Toy Fair 2018, was about stinky, smelly, yucky stuff.  Kids love it. WowWee is getting into the icky with What’s That Smell!  A game where you have to figure out just that.  But the smells aren’t all bad…they aren’t all good either!

Playmobil makes some of the most fun and innovative playsets we have ever seen.  That’s why we make it a point to visit them whenever we can.  Toy Fair, Comic-Con, whenever!  They always bring the awesome, and this year at Toy Fair was no different.  A mind boggling amount of amazing and interactive playsets offering kids new and interesting ways to play, and making parents just a little bit jealous that toys weren’t quite like this when they grew up.  Thanks so much to our good friends at Playmobil for having us to the booth and for giving us the grand tour!

Toilet Paper Launcher

Why yes, I would like to launch toilet paper at people.
