Welcome to… from One Side Of The Show To The Other for the London Toy Fair 2024. It's Press Day today, so it's a bit easier on the feet. And you get the choice of whether to watch it on YouTube or a truncated version on TikTok. A walk around the show, taking place today, and for teh next two days, while it was still relatively quiet. And then praying to the gods of wifi to upload it, while working away in the Press Room. Sadly, you missed me bumping into Titan Comics and Forbidden Planet owners Nick Landau and Vivian Landau, who stride this show like a colossus with their chequebooks flying in the breeze. I also bumped into the Beano's Nigel Parkinson, who I will be seeing again next month in this exact venue for the London Film And Comic Con. And I am very thankful to have missed Michael MacIntyre, who was here at the Funko booth earlier. But for now, it was all about the London Toy Fair… and just be grateful I didn't do this on Thursday, which is known as Influencer Day. Okay, maybe I should. What do you think?
