My second and final full day at my very first Toy Fair 2016 in New York City has come and gone, and already I miss it terribly. Nothing flipping through photos of Nerf guns, Pokemon plushies, Final Fantasy figures, Monster High dolls, Transformers, Marvel heroes and more canāt fix.

Iāve been dreaming of this weekend since back in the late ā90s, early ā00s, when weād scour newsgroups or stay glued to sites like the once-great Raving Toy Maniac for the latest on upcoming action figures and accessories.
Now that Iāve been to the annual parade of play, I can see how short-sighted I was back then. This isnāt just a place for action figures or dolls. Itās for science kits and card games and puppets and dress-up costumes. Itās for strange goopy substances you want to squeeze between your fists forever. Itās about play, and play is so much more than putting a pretty thing on your desk.
That said, here are a ton of pretty things to put on your desk in the future.
