It’s the most wonderful time of the year – when the Toy World team starts work on the huge January Toy Fair issue. Find out everything you need to know about how to get involved here.

With the final issue of 2022, the December issue, almost ready to go to print, the Toy World team is now beginning to turn its attentions to the Toy Fair issue, the biggest, most-widely read and exciting issue of the year.

With this year’s London Toy Fair arguably more important than ever before, this is one issue toy and games companies can’t afford to miss. We’ll be presenting everything visitors and exhibitors need to know about the show, what will be on display and where, and chatting with the organisers – the British Toy and Hobby Association – about what’s been going on behind the scenes and what makes this year’s show so special.

Alongside the London Toy Fair preview, the January issue includes our annual bumper Hot Properties round-up. In this comprehensive feature, we take a look at which family- and kid-friendly films and TV/online series are tipped to be big in the coming months and the licensing opportunities they offer. We’ll also look at the recent successes of evergreen properties and franchises, as well as newcomers from the past of couple of years that are set to maintain their momentum into the new year.

We’ll also be presenting Part 2 of our Spielwarenmesse 2023 preview, ahead of the international toy fair’s return in February. On top of all that, we’ll have the usual exclusive articles and interviews to get stuck into, plus all the most relevant toy trade going-ons, news, views and opinion.

Advertisers in this issue are guaranteed generous editorial coverage and the chance to get involved in additional content opportunities. As the UK’s leading toy trade magazine, with 90% market share and growing, this means your company will be able to place its brands in front of all the major buyers and decision makers that turn to Toy World at the start of each and every month for the latest industry news and product information.

The editorial deadline for the January issue of Toy World is 1st December, while the deadline for advertising artwork is 13th December.
