This weekend marked my first-ever trip to Toy Fair. I've been to Comic Cons, tech shows, and book fairs, but nothing quite prepared me for the unique, relatively self-contained world of the toy industry.

I popped by the show twice--once on the first day (Sunday) and once on the last (today). There was a marked difference in the energy of the two days, from the buzziness of Sunday to the exhaustion of this morning. That's standard fair when it comes to these sorts of shows. Talking about the same products for 10 hour days is exhausting, no matter how much you believe in your company.

Still, when people at the toy show are up, they're up. There's nothing quite like walking among a convention hall full of grownups playing with toys. I documented some of the more interesting sights I had the chance to take in. Check them out, after the jump.
