During Toy Fair NY 2015, one of my favorite booths to visit was Bandai America Incorporated, who are manufacturer and master toy licensee of popular toys brands including Power Rangers®, Big Hero 6, SprüKits, among other preschool, collector and hobby product lines.
Note: I attended Toy Fair NY as media. No other compensation was received. Views expressed are always 100% my own.
When I walked into the
Bandai America booth, I was excited to see a few toy friends including my favorite personal healthcare assistant. Baymax!
Bandai’s new creative Hatch ‘n Heroes toy line is a fun and surprising way to play with all you favorite characters. Each figure starts in its simple oval shape “egg” which you can transform into your favorite Disney and Pixar characters. A couple twists and you have an iconic figure to play with.

With Bandai SprüKits, kids and adult fans can build their favorite action figure characters including those from DC Comics, Microsoft’s Halo®, Dentsu, and Pokémon (new for 2015) and have their creation look like a great collectable action figure without needing any glue, paint or scissors, as is typically expected in a model kit.
SprüKits are offered in three building levels to accommodate builders of all abilities. Level 1 figures are designed to be entertaining and easy to assemble. For those builders looking for the next challenge, Levels 2 and 3 kits increase in complexity and build time, which delivers a larger figure with sharper details, and increased articulation.
New for 2015 is Pokémon’s Pikachu and Mewtwo.
For 2015 new 52 Batman, The Dark Knight Rises Batman, New 52 Superman, and the Original Comic The Joker.
New from DC Comics for 2015 is the The Dark Knight Rises Bane, and New 52 Flash.
