It's toy time, and time to report on the biggest night of play hosted by The Toy Insider, Sweet Suite 19. Sweet Suite is celebrating 10 years of play, and The Toy Insider consistently reports on the latest in toys, gaming, and popular culture. I find them to be the pinnacle toy reporting, and trust their views.
It's so great to be amongst the team at The Toy Insider -- their energy is just contagious! I love what I do, and I love that I get to take my son with me to enjoy this truly magical experience year and year! Happy 10 years, Sweet Suite!
Check out this sweet ride by RollPlay! Kids can pretend they’re in their own Monster Truck Rally! I’d love to set up some empty cardboard boxes for the boys and have them crash through them! Ride-on toys are so cool!
We had a blast with ZURU! The new Rainbocorns BIG Bow Surprise is just gigantic and just so much fun to unbox! There’s so much more though! Marcello even transformed into a llama! Boppi has a new friend in purple! Baby Shark is now added to the Robo Alive line—they are water activated so you can hear that amazing tune during bath time now, too!
Another item on Marcello’s birthday list is the Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Sets by Crayola. Now you can color your animal and then wash him or her in their own little shower and bath! Then they can slide down the slide for playtime fun! The new Crayola Glitter Dots are squishy balls of glitter that you can spread over images to create vibrant and sparkly art pieces. Great for crafts on the go. I’ll be grabbing these for our upcoming roast trip to keep the kids busy.
Marcello was making his birthday wish list at Sweet Suite— Jixels by Fat Brain Toys is at the very top of his list! They’re tiny jigsaw-like pieces that you can use to create amazing images by hand! He could have stayed there all evening. They also are creating a fun toy line of playsets that have a very 70s/80s vibe. The sets will be fully contained with a transforming treetop and a bunch of cool accessories. We also saw the awesome baby and toddler toys! More on this on our blog and channel this weekend!
I saw a very familiar face at Sweet Suite 19—my favorite baby doll by Madame Alexander!
The first photo is me at about 10-12 months old, playing with my little Madame Alexander baby. In the second photo, she’s back and with a more gender-neutral outfit. She still has the same sweet face! I still have my original doll and now my real babies play with her, too! My doll is missing her outfit, and I believe the original outfit was pink. My baby doll’s eyes opened and closed, and she burps (it sounds like a jibba jabba). I’m so happy to see that other children will get to enjoy her or even him! My little doll always brought me so much comfort!
The Ryans World toys by Just Play are fully immersive unboxing and play experiences! The line features a safe, a fully interactive treehouse with trap doors and poseable figures, a large Red Titan doll with lights and sounds, and so much more! I think we could have spent the whole evening in that booth. I love the new Ryan's World safe, there are so many compartments and gives kids the opportunity for open-ended play and pairs it with the widely popular unboxing experience! There are over 30 surprises and it’s a nice, long unboxing experience!
We love the new Disney Junior show T.O.T.S.! It’s our summer favorite for sure! Just Play has an amazing collection of #DisneyTOTS toys—from blind bundles featuring all of the baby tots that Pip and Freddy transport to their parents to a nursery and deluxe figure pack. Each TOT figure is flocked, so they’re soft to the touch, and their diapers also color change! The accessories are just adorable too—each stork bundle comes with a TOT figure and mini accessories that the babies need to comfort them during their journey. More on this on our channel and blog this weekend! New T.O.TS. are available on Amazon—go check them out! There are plush babies, too! Cuteness OVERLOAD!
My goofball has so much fun at the Kid Kraft booth. He was making up different scenarios at the coffeehouse/farmer’s market set! This set is awesome—it comes with loads of accessories from magnets to fruits to provide hours of pretend play. I just love the little coffee accessories in the to-go cups. They make such beautiful toys.
Tic Tac Toy unveiled new toy line, XOXO, featuring mini-figures with swappable wings! Marcello is a huge fan of their youtube channel, and they are just the nicest family! Thank you Tic Tac Toy for being so awesome! Marcello still can’t believe he met Tic Tac Toy! He said he missed Colin and Sandy. Thank you again!
Marcello made his own AutoMoBlox at Sweet Suite! It’s definitely Willy Wonka inspired. Those numbers under the Automoblox actually mean something—enter them on their website to earn rewards like free gifts from Playmonster! That’s a great incentive for kids, and parents, too. They also have a fun game called Meltdown! Pile on the cubes before the pile of goop melts. Kiss My Bass plays like the game hot potato, but you have to listen to his prompts like giving a high fun pucker up for a kiss, and more, then pass to the next player. If you don’t, you’ll get farted on! The rainbow piano is so cool! Rocco loved his! Babies, toddlers, and even big kids will enjoy popping the balls into their pipes.
You feel that?! Yup! That’s pure electricity! Princess T brings the party with her, and she brought Mr. Grinch and the incomparable PRINCESS GRANNY to NYC! Guys! We met Princess Granny and Mr. Grinch!! Mr. Grinch is Princess T’s handsome hubby! They are such a fun couple! Princess Granny is so exuberant and hilarious-she also rocks a moo-moo like no other! They are the sweetest, nicest people. Genuine!! I love them so much! We had such a blast every time we ran into them at Sweet Suite. T
The Jazwares booth at Sweet Suite 19 was full of awesome, new toys! We’ll show the new #Nanables on our channel along with the app. Marcello opened series one Fiesty Pets, series 6 Roblox, and the new Peppa Pig Surprise Camper van! You can get Gerald Giraffe this series—we’ll be hunting for him! You can find these toys at Walmart soon (some have already found the new Peppa Pig Surprise toys already!). So cool! As if the Peppa Pig toy line could not get any cuter, we now have Surprise Mini camper vans. We love Peppa Pig!! Plus, Grandpa Pig’s little toy train or I should say “miniature locomotive” is also a new and improved toy but with a touch of magic. You can move the train with your own wand! The wand reminds me of Holly’s wand from Ben and Holly. I watch too many kids shows. I couldn’t get a great photo of it because Marcello magicked it away from us.
New Goo Goo Galaxy was at Sweet Suite 19. Have you watched our unboxing video yet? Please check it out and let us know what you think! I have another video coming up, so stay tuned for that! Goo Goo Galaxy Goo Drops are so cute with squishy bodies so you can squeeze and squish as you please. Speaking of the squeeze, I want to squeeze my som always! He’s so cute!
When I see LEGO, I can’t help myself, especially with this Frozen LEGO Duplo Set! I love the light-up brick! Marcello loved the Hidden Side, a new way to experience LEGO by attacking the ghosts with an app on your phone. Batman and Joker can battle it out alongside the Batmobile. Build your own droids with an amazing collection of Star Wars LEGO. I love the Harry Potter LEGO hut. I’ll have the numbers when I dig through my bag of tricks from Sweet Suite! Stay tuned to our YouTube channel and our blog for more coverage of everything we saw!
#SNAPSTAR Dolls by YULU are getting playsets featuring a photo studio and even a clothing rack! My favorite is Echo’s Debut on the Pink Carpet. These dolls know how to be social!
The Flying Pigs game by CrazArt is a lot of fun to play. They also have new Softee Dough coming out featuring Toy Story 4!!! The individual cans of dough will have five characters with stampers at the bottom. My video is a little weird because I was watching Marcello from afar. Kids just don’t want to be near their parents at
WowWee has some awesome toys coming out for the holiday shopping season. Watch out for Pixie Belles—adorable little animal like pixies that you can wear. There is a little stand that you put on your shoulder (under your shirt), then place your Pixie Belle over and it will twirl, dance, respond to clapping and sounds, and it will give you a kiss! The longer it kisses your cheek, the longer it will spin on your shoulder. Marcello loved it! WowWee please make a DRAGON Pixie Belle so I can prove that I am the true mother of dragons!!!! And a Parrot Pixie Belle, so I can finally be a pirate.. Adding to the UNTAMED line will be snakes and a huge, beautiful DRAGON! We also met the new Series 2 Buttheads with awesome names like Bubble and Uranus! There’s also a fart gun that really releases odiferous fart gases!
My goofball has so much fun at the KidKraft toys booth. He was making up different scenarios at the coffeehouse/farmer’s market set! This set is awesome—it comes with loads of accessories from magnets to fruits to provide hours of pretend play. I just love the little coffee accessories in the to-go cups. They make such beautiful toys.
We love all of the new KidTrax vehicles! My favorite was the Ford Bronco!!! Marcello loved “all of them!” He would have driven away if he could have. 😂 The Ford Bronco is a replica of the classic version with beautiful details (that grill is to die for!), plus real working features like working lights and realistic sounds from the dash. They come in two colors blue and pink. Although, I would have loved a white one. 😂 😜 The new Rideamals Unicorn is adorable and there’s even a little version for kids who are 18 months old.
Would you believe that these figures are not ceramic, but squishy? They are by Imperial Toy, and bring pop culture and Disney nostalgia to tactile play. Marvel to Disney to Disney Pixar to animals, this line of squishy figures will be sure to please all squishy aficionados!
Cuteness overload. New Tiny Tukkins are perfectly packaged and compact playsets featuring plush toys. Each set comes with an appointed room! The plush animals even have pajamas for bedtime, and some come with linens for their bed. Once playtime is over, you can fold up their room or house for easy storage. They have blind boxes with the chance to get one plush and a crib, plus a playset for $12.99 and one for $24.99! So cute!
Squishmallows are the widely popular plush with marshmallow-soft squishness. Coming in a variety of sizes, colors, and themes, Squishmallows are highly collectible. I feel like they have become the TY Beanie Babies of the 2010s!
One King to rule them all! Lord of the Leapbuilders - the V-Tech toys booth was awesome at Sweet Suite 19. I can’t wait to get this Scrub n Playset for my other little guy! It’s seriously SO cool!!! Plus Leapbuilders are just so awesome! They’re specially curved blocks that you can piece together into anything!
Bonkers Toys killed it with this FGTeeV line of toys! Plus more Ryan’s World toys now in a vibrant purple egg! Everyone at Bonkers Toys works so hard—so much care goes into these toys. It is alays great to see everything that rolls out!
Get ready guys for some ‘90s nostalgia! Tamagotchi ON is the hottest summer release of 2019! New Tamagotchi ON is not just picking up poop, and giving out medicine—now you can get married, raise families, make friends, and more in full color!! They are just so beautiful in person!
Marcello did not want to leave the Playmobil booth at Sweet Suite 19. He loved the City Life Furnished School building set! It has so many levels and rooms for pretend play! I love the new Playmobil movie sets too! The lunch wagon is so detailed. Take a look at the burgers!! So cool! I love their Ghostbusters line, too. The larger figs are so awesome, and the packaging is perfection.
New Dairy Queen Blizzard dolls by Sunny Days Entertainment are seriously adorable. Packaged inside Blizzard cups, each doll has swappable hairpieces and cute mix and match outfits. People were going nuts for these!!
Girls can now create their own makeup with Be-you-tology by Roseart. This is great product for kids ages eight and up. Kids can feel independence, and even experiment with different solutions, colors, and materials to create their own personalized makeup line! I can’t wait to test this out with my niece!
Big thank you to The Toy Insider for an amazing night! Seriously, we had so much fun and truly loved seeing everything new for 2019. It's so nice to get to play with all of the toys at Sweet Suite. When you get the first looks of products, they are usually prototypes, so you cannot really play. Thankfully, The Toy Insider hosts Sweet Suite every single year so us bloggers and toy reviewers can dive in and get to know each product line! Thank you so much! We didn’t have enough time to see everyone. Until next time! Happy 10th birthday
