Have you been to Autumn Fair? What did you think? Did you see anything that stood out? We caught up with a few of the exhibitors and highlight what’s in store, and what’s to come.

Stephen Gomez at TY. More sizes, added products and collectibles to the TY ranges. Great display greets you when you enter Hall 20. Pick up their Autumn catalogue which is out now.

Barry John from Asmodee took us through the game, Pear Shaped (Asmodee are taking over distribtuion for next year and stock is due soon). Great game for kids and adults. The winner will be the one who gets rid of all their cards before the wobbly pear timer stops. All the cards fit into the pear. Really compact. Very touchy feely, and Anarchy Park, look out for it. A mix of Exploding Kittens and Dobble.

The Puppet Company. Go visit this bunch. Really good product mix, great quality and also great flexible and friendly terms. Some really good seasonal ranges to mix in and would make some great affordable displays. A wide choice. A must on your buying list, with Team Puppets. The picture is of Katy, Sue and Sam (L to R). 

Gareth Edwards, Farplace Animal Rescue. New exhibitor to Autumn Fair this year (and great charity to boot). If you love animals and great design, this game gives it in buckets. Animal rescuers gather objects and actions to rescue and release animals in need. 

Posh Paws International. There’s a new Anime & Manga collection including Dragonballz, Demonslayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. Only last Thursday, the live action version of the long running Japanese manga series One Piece arrived on the platform. Whole plush range is worth a visit. 

Keel Toys Adoptables Collection. Each toy has the character and personality of a young animal. And what we love? Keel Toys leads the way with 100% recycled materials. This is just a small part of an awesome, quality plush portfolio.

Winning Moves. Great team, go see them. Just launched Squishmallows Top Trumps, Top Trumps Match! and Monopoly (featuring a rare version of the first Squishmallows plush, Cam the Cat, styled on Mr Monopoly himself).

Smart Games & Toys. Go see their IQ Mini which is due out shortly. IQ is already a proven bestseller, as well as SMARTMAX Build & Drive. This company has won an unbelievable amount of awards across the globe.
