Big name stars ranging
from footie legends, TV personalities, ToyNews team members and Dobble Challenge winners appeared during the show. Take a look at the faces on the right and see how
many you recognise. We’ll give you a clue: the yellow bear isn’t Peter Shilton.
TOY TALK TWEETPICKS
What the industry’s been tweeting this month…
@licensetopr
License to PR, PR agency Gwyneth at Vegas Expo, now Alicia Keys opening NY Toy Fair. Who said trade shows aren't glam?!
@ProfBrianCox Brian Cox, professor Just watched The LEGO Movie. It's great. On eBay now re-buying my childhood :-)
GET THE LEGO LOOK
With The LEGO Moviestill drawing crowds into cinemas across the country, the ToyNews team were lucky enough to go to an early screening. Donning our best outfits, we were all shown up (including Katie Price)
by this dress created by Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design student Anne- Sophie Cochevelou. As wonderful as the outfit looks, we’re not quite sure how the model managed to sit down and
watch the film. And here’s hoping she took her hat off. And all those tassels would surely encroach onto the person sat next to her.
Thinking about it, she should never have been let in.
@jo_elvin Jo Elvin, Glamoureditor Watching the child lovingly create her own Moshlings magazine. If she was this dedicated to homework, she'd have finished uni by now.
@prattprattpratt Chris Pratt, actor Just saw the @TheLEGOMovie for the first time. Oh my G-O-S-H Mind BLOWN!! Thank you @philiplord and @chrizmillr for letting me be #Emmet
@littleimpstoys Little Imps Toy Shop, retailer Back from the NEC Spring Fair with lots of wonderful inspirations and some new lines for 2014...
@cavanscott Cavan Scott, Doctor Whowriter Cleared out the desk drawers in the study today. How many sonic screwdrivers does a 40-year old man need, for Pete's sake?
