ToyTrends Spielwarenmesse Anime & Friends
Fascinating world of Anime and Manga
The world of Anime and Manga characters resonates not only with children but with all other age groups too. The figures have status with fans and thus have an influence on pop culture and on a vast range of media including, for example, TV, video games, merchandise and, of course, toys. The ToyTrend ‘Anime & Friends’ displays products and licensing themes for children and teenagers from the field of Anime and Manga. Toys designed in the Japanese kawaii (Japanese for sweet or cute) style are also covered here. Figures with characteristically large eyes like Hello Kitty, including for example a smiling plush avocado, can similarly be found in this genre.
ToyTrends Spielwarenmesse Healthy Heroes
Improving wellbeing through the enjoyment of play
The ToyTrend ‘Healthy Heroes’ strengthens children in body and mind, uniting movement, mindfulness and healthy eating in one experience. The aim here is to arouse a consciousness of physical fitness in conjunction with emotional, mental and social health. At its heart are products that foster relaxation, meditation and physical activity, thereby promoting enjoyment and good mood. It seeks to strengthen a sense of self-esteem and self-confidence, and to encourage the expression of emotions, needs and indeed fears. Promoting healthy eating habits is a further element of this trend.
Discover and inform
The ToyTrends not only reflect current developments in the toy sector but also pick up on global societal issues. In the freshly designed, attention-grabbing Special Area at Eingang Mitte, the trends are illustrated with inspiring products on individual topic islands. It is a Special that invites visitors to discover and try out for themselves. At the Toy Business Forum in Hall 3A on the Tuesday and Thursday, trend expert Reyne Rice from the USA will be providing valuable insights into the 2025 ToyTrends.
