Clown Band Opening Toy Fair.
Javits Center teeming with people on the first day of Toy Fair.
The vendors pull out all the stops, with extravagant displays, and celebrities to boot! Why, even Marie Osmond turned out for this event - of course, she owns a very successful doll company that features many dolls of her own design.
At Toy Fair meeting Marie Osmond.
One vendor even had one of the original munchkins from The Wizard of Oz. It was very surreal to see this withered gnome who is still recognizable sitting behind the folding table of a vendor in the back end of the Fair where many of the companies were from Hong Kong...

Jeff, has Barry ever considered going to the IDEX show in Orlando at the end of January? I know it's not as large as the NYC Toy Fair, but it IS right across the street from the Universal Studios theme park & not far from some other famous theme park I believe you are familiar with...
Also, if you and/or Barry are Wizard of Oz fans, have you seen the great Wicked Witch & Glinda dolls the Tonner company is bringing out later this year? Not just the movie versions, but 16" fashion dolls with wonderful, brand-new costumes (including, of course, properly scaled ruby slippers, available separately, so that poor Elphaba can FINALLY get a pair of her own! Ha! -- Best, Anne Laurie
