On Sunday February 15 of Toy Fair 2015, I was able to attend a brunch held by Universal Partnership & Licensing. It was a big press event that brought out some popular names in YouTube that do toy reviews. The purpose of this event was to showcase their new line of merchandise that coincided with 2 upcoming releases by Universal Pictures: "Minions" & "Jurassic World". The whole event took place at the Crosby Street Hotel in Manhattan, which also doubles as a mini art gallery so when you find the hotel you kind of do a double take when entering.

Event. Con Report, Toy Fair NY
For this years Toy Fair I was able to make an appointment with Bandai and go behind the big red wall. It was an incredible sight to behold, mainly because when you outside you see how much room Bandai has on the show floor. But once you're inside it's just blows your mind on how impressive it is. Once I met with my contact I was shown around starting with their latest and most predominant line the Power Ranger brand.

February is usually known for Valentine's Day and President's Day, but for me it is the start of Con season on the East coast. To start things off I attended the annual NY Toy Fair at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC. This year's Toy Fair was different; Instead of starting during the week, it kicked things off on the weekend of Valentine's Day.
