Toy Fair 2007 Round Up: Stupid Moving Toys (Happy Meal Nostalgia FTW)

Actually, these remote-controlled hopping lederhosen aren't that stupid. Pressing the button on the knockwurst remote [insert dick joke here] sends them into a convulsion of bouncing and yodelling for about 15 seconds, after which they shut off automatically. Okay, maybe they are kind of stupid. Sadly, I don't any video for you. More »

MP3 Players and Accessories for Kids: What Happened to Action Figures?

While the "gadget" section of the Toy Fair was small, what struck me was the number of mp3 players and accessories targeted at kids, all the way down to toddlers. Do they really need to listen to the new JT single while they doze off to sleep? More »

Nerf Nintendo Wii Sports Pack Good for Sports-Inspired Violence

If the Brando Wii Sports accesory pack was still a little too dangerous, you are in luck. Nerf, the company that has embedded violence into every child's mind for the past 30 years, has announced their Wii Sports accessories pack at the 2007 Toy Fair. The best part about these accessories is that after you get beaten into a pulp in Wii Golf then you can proceed to bash in the opponent with the foam Wii golf club and not worry about injury. The Nerf Sports Pack should be available this summer. Thanks, jstan More »

Humping Dog in the Flesh, Boxed and Ready for Valentine's Day Lovin'

There's no new information here or anything like that. It's just the Humping Dog in its retail box, and well, we'll take any excuse we can to post about it. Since it was at the Toy Tokyo booth, it looks like those of you in New York, at least, can get your laptop (or anything else with a USB port) some sweet, sweet lovin' without having to pay shipping charges. The rest of you can get your USB humping dogs right here. More »

R.C. Color Bug Designer Clearly Has No Children

At first glance, the R.C. Color Bug seems like a great idea and a fun product for young kids. Plug a marker into the top of the remote-controlled bug, set it on a big sheet of paper and they can doodle away without having to stop bouncing off the walls long enough to sit down. More »

Mutant iPod nano+headphone Headphones: Feh

One of the more interesting gadgets at the Toy Fair wasn't actually a toy or for kids, but a set of headphones for the iPod nano from the newly formed Cold Fusion Entertainment. Forgoing the annoyance of cords and the battery problems of wireless headphones, you just stick your nano directly into the studio-style, collapsible headphones. Given the nano's size and weight (or lack thereof), they felt no heavier on my head than any others of that type. More »

Toy Fair 2007: Optimus Prime Transforms Into Profit

Yesterday I went to Toy Fair here in NYC to check out what sorts of tie-ins Hasbro has planned for the upcoming Transformers Movie, and boy was I underwhelmed. Sure, I might be a good decade and a half beyond their target market here, but I know what kids like. And they like accurate representation of their favorite fantasy franchise's mythologies. More »

Electric Football Coming Back, Watch Out Madden

More Toy Fair goodness for your Monday morning, now with 100 percent more electric football! You know how this works: you place a series of plastic men on a vibrating table (wow, sounds like the Penthouse letters section), turn on the table then all hell breaks loose. The men bounce up and down and just slightly forward eventually pushing the ball into the opposing side's net (or end zone or whatever). It's pretty much Lord of the Flies. Who needs fancy next-gen graphics when you've got electric football? More »
