Toy Fair Approacheth

As my 19th International Toy Fair looms large on the horizon, I am cautiously optimistic. Sure the economy is in the tank, but there are many things brewing. I have all burners on and pots on each of them. A stir here, a little spice there. I will be pitching five prototype games, which I am frantically figuring out. That's just the speculative stuff. Playthings debuting at Toy Fair include: (insert drum roll here)

My game Blurt, which has sold over a million copies, has been MIA since Mattel and Sababa Toys both had it and bobbled it. Now it has a new home at Educational Insights. They are launching the game at Toy Fair and I am very excited about the new plans and packaging...



My game, TriBond, which has also done great in the past but has been off the market for a few years is back with a kick from Imagination Games. Once again, good job on the packaging people...



I helped game inventor Scott Dotson land his very cool Bag Games concept and (you guessed it) his games are debuting at Toy Fair as well. Check out the concept in this little movie The Playmakers but together to help license Scott's great idea:



Finally, a top secret concept I've been working on for several years will be launched at Toy Fair. It will be coming to you from a talented company called Wolfe Brothers from Orlando, Florida - the land of fun and frolic. I don't want to steal their thunder, so I will keep it under wraps until the show, but thereafter, you will be see it here. Very fun, very cool.

As if that weren't enough, this concept I licensed to Wolfe Brothers has been followed for the past two years within the fun frames of a documentary film by director Ken Sons. Ken will be on hand at Toy Fair to catch the launch of the product line, which will also provide us with our long awaited grand finale to the film. BAM!

Yes, Toy Fair 2009 promises to be a goooooooooooood one.

Prayerfully, Playfully,

Tim
