This year, Hasbro and Lego took top honours with three Best New Toy Awards, while Character Options, Hornby and VTech all walk away with two awards. The Toy Fair Best New Toy Awards are voted for by a panel of independent toy retailers as the 2014 Toy Fair products with the most potential to make a mark on retail throughout the year and beyond. The products include toys to suit every pocket, with a wide variety of price points on the list, from very affordable everyday pocket money spends such as Moshi Kart Collectables (Vivid) and Lil Fishys (Peterkin), through to special event purchases like LEGO CITY Police Station (Lego) and Ancient Dragon Castle (Playmobil).
Since their launch in 2009, more than 150 toys have received a prestigious Best New Toys Award with LEGO topping the chart with 15 awards. Over the last six years, the awards have reflected a number of emerging trends and landmarks in the toy industry, from the birth of app toys and the increased influence of technology to the growth of licensed toys and continued strength of construction toys.
“We are delighted to showcase the Toy Fair Best New Toy Award winners for a sixth year in a row. Once again, the winners show the level of innovation and creativity within the UK toy industry, from traditional toys through to advances in technology,” commented Majen Immink, Senior Communications Manager, British Toy & Hobby Association.
