This past week, the Jacob Javits Center in New York City has been host to the worlds largest gathering of toys and games, organized by the Toy Industry Association. Hundreds of toy manufacturers and game publishers gather to show off their recent and upcoming products to retailers, buyers, and the press. The New York Toy Fair is filled with nearly every toy, game, form of electronic entertainment, and outdoor play thing you can imagine.

With roughly 100,000 products and 7,000 new toy debuts, NY Toy Fair is a wonderland for your inner child. Here are five toys who made their premiers at the Javits Center that will soon be on everyone’s “Hot List”.

FURREAL FRIENDS BABY BUTTERSCOTCH, MY MAGICAL SHOW PONY

This new addition to the Furreal Friends line from Hasbro is the most animated and responsive yet, responding to the touch, eating her “food”, whinnying and batting her eyes. She has soft, poseable legs, and will respond to cuddles and nuzzles in kind. Baby Butterscotch will give children the experience of owning a virtually real, animated pony.

CrayolaDigital Light Designer

This fun and adaptable new drawing medium is designed to allow children to draw and create with lights.
The Digital Light Designer uses colored LED lights to let kids draw, imagine, and be creative- with no mess. Using a special attached stylus on a spinning 360 degree domed drawing surface, kids can easily switch between eight different colors, or erase and start over. They can also save up to fifty creations. It takes 4 D Batteries or alternately, can be plugged in.


Brobo

These plush robot freinds have glowing chests that help children learn to be brave in the dark. When you touch the hands of these toys (available in several varieties), a soft light glows and gives comfort to scared children. Brobo also has animated webisodes, games and books that encourage friendship, family, adventure, and learning.

Rockboard Descender
Rockboard has come up with a fantasitc innovation for boarders this year, taking the off-season to the next level. The Descender features high-performance, tank like treads never before used in the boarding experience. This unique and new for the Spring of 2012 board helps to keep sports enthusiasts active in all seasons, enabling riders to โ€œsurfโ€ down grass and hills. It can hold riders up to 200 lbs.

Bigsby

Bigsby, the shy monster, likes to go on big adventures and learn new things with his friends. He is interactive with both his books and iPod/iPad apps, chiming in when he hears key phrases. Bigsby comes with the first in his series of Interactive Storybooks, Bigsby’s Best Friend, and has 3 stories available currently. Bigsby also learns social skills, such as friendship, in his books. The app and other interactive and fun features are included for free with purchase of Bigsby.
