The licensing industry headed en masse to UK Toy Fair this week – where a raft of new licensed product was on display, much for the first time.

Running from January 24-26 at London’s Olympia, the event opened with the welcome news that the UK toy industry was boosted by 6.3% in 2016, with collectables being a stand out success story.

PAW Patrol, Power Rangers and Shopkins all triumphed at the Toy Industry Awards, while our sister title – Progressive Preschool – hosted a successful after show drinks party with industry recruiters Aardvark Swift.

To give our readers a bit of a flavour for the show, we’ve put together a short picture gallery below.
