Spielwarenmesse 2023 - International Toy Fair

The international Spielwarenmesse fair has long been considered the largest European gathering for toy industry professionals and everything that brings joy to kids and adults alike. The long streak of successful years was interrupted for a while by COVID-19 restrictions. This year, however, the fair was back on, and we couldn't miss it.

What does Spielwarenmesse look like?

The fair occupies most of the space in the twelve exhibition halls that the massive Nuremberg exhibition center offers. The halls are packed to the rafters with booths, ranging from the smallest vendors and family businesses to multinational corporations.

You'll find everything here, from toys for the little ones, dollhouses, plushies, wooden toys, and puzzles to top-tier modeling, remote-controlled Formula 1 cars, drones, and the latest electronics.

What were we doing there?

We stopped by our favorite suppliers and checked out their new product ranges so we wouldn't miss a thing and could keep filling our shop with everything you love. Who did we visit?

We checked out the upcoming novelties from Abysse Corp, Noble Collection, and the guys from Nemesis Now, but we also shook hands with the pros from The Army Painter, Games Workshop, and our favorites from FS Holding. And that was just the beginning. You have plenty to look forward to this year.

What did we like the most?

As always, the detailed replicas from the Harry Potter films were a hit. The new selection of Funko POP! figures didn't fall behind, and of course, Minecraft and Pokémon were everywhere we looked. We scouted out a ton of new items that will appear in our shop in the coming months, and they'll surely bring you as much joy as they brought us.

Was it worth it?

Visiting the fair is worth it just for the incredible experience of having so many suppliers under one roof. We got a unique opportunity to get our hands on products before they even hit the market. We picked out the most interesting and high-quality items for you – some of which have already appeared in our shop.

We also managed to secure new suppliers and expanded the range we offer to our wholesale customers. In short, Spielwarenmesse 2023 was definitely worth it!
