New Toys From Toy Fair 2014 #TFNY #TF14

I was recently at the 2014 American International Toy Fair to check out what’s new in the toy industry. The show was overwhelming but in the midst of it all, I managed to get one on one time with a few companies that had some fun information to share.  The videos below will highlight some toys that will be hitting the shelves later on this year.
