So along with covering Hasbro, Lego, Mattel, and other figure collectibles I had the pleasure to see a slew of other amazing booths while at the Toy Fair whether by appointment or by stumbling across them on the show floor. Hi-Def Ninja is as always very thankful for all the below companies taking the time to show us around their booth and show off their newest products!
Playmobil
Playmobil produces miniature figures in multiple themes from pirates to ancient Egyptians. While they have multiple product lines this year they had on display licensed products from HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON and GHOSTBUSTERS. I hope to see more licenses from them in the future.
These playsets are perfect for the adult collector looking to introduce their children to the toys they grew up with. What I also love is that all the figures are the same scale so you could have a mummy figure riding a Porche.
Last year Spin Master was just debuting their near full size BB8 to the public, this year it is ready for release. The fully remote controlled droid will retail for $230 and includes multiple features including voice activated responses and a ‘follow me’ mode where BB8 will follow you around without the use of the remote. Below are some photos as well as a quick video.
While there were not as many licensed products this year compared to last year, where they also had branded Air Hogs products. That said another cool product line they had was the Meccano line. As one of the oldest construction systems in the world has combined with the Erector line under the brand name – Meccano. From basic building to high?tech robotics programming, Meccano offers something for everyone, including even some really sweet RC cars.
MOTA JETJAT
So during some downtime I came across MOTA. I will say there are a lot of drone selling companies at Toy Fair. These guys however are making some really cool options in the drone space. Tailored for the average electronics enthusiast the JETJAT drones are easy to fly right out of the box and reinvent the meaning of fun with the latest in drone technology with features like the auto-hover and 360 degree flips, highlight the dexterity of these versatile air-hogging stunt devils. All of the drones are remote controlled with the higher end models including streaming or recording capabilities
On display were a few different models the Nano, the Nano-C, and the Ultra from their product lines. The Nano, which as the name indicates is the tiniest of the bunch provides the longest flight time of the bunch but is more bare bones and does not include a camera. The Nano-C and the Ultra both feature shorter flight times but include cameras for recording and in the case of the Ultra live streaming.
They also have a Strikers set allowing you to battle two drones. Here are a few photos but look out for a more in-depth review from Michael Madison shortly and check them out here!

Super7
With their ReAction, M.U.S.C.L.E., Super Shogun, Drive-Thru Drinkware, and many more product lines Super7 is providing quality figures for the discerning collector. Recently they also took over the the Masters of the Universe product line from Mattel so look out for some amazing figures soon.
