2020 is here, and a new year is significantly important to toy collectors since the Toy Fair Season is just around the corner.
We have received several official press releases announcing various lists of exhibitors and license-holders; who will attend many toy fairs this year. Our eye is naturally on Hasbro, who will kick-start the year with Toy Fair UK and follow it up with Germany’s Nuremberg Toy Fair and the New York Toy Fair 2020.
List:
- Toy Fair UK 2020 (January 21st – 23rd)
- Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse 2020 (January 29th – February 02nd)
- American International Toy Fair a.k.a. New York Toy Fair 2020 (February 22nd – 25th)
You can learn more about each show and what they have to offer to the G.I. Joe Franchise, after the jump.

Toy Fair UK 2020
- Show Date: January 29th – February 02nd
- Location: Olympia Kensington, London
Being the European equivalent of New York Toy Fair, Toy Fair UK will host Hasbro as one of the biggest exhibitors on the show floor. However, Hasbro UK will keep most of their contents under wraps to avoid spoilers on behalf of its big brother’s debut. Toy Fair UK will act as a platform to forge new licensing deals for the European region.
- List of G.I. Joe product exhibitors*:
Hasbro UK (Booth: Gallery Suites)
Content kept under wraps. Following previous examples, may showcase the toys to the press, few days ahead of the fair.
A.B. Gee of Ripley (Booth: B40)
This retail company is a huge supporter of Hasbro brands and is set to showcase what Hasbro has to offer.
*Note: Several exhibitors are yet to confirm to us whether they will be showcasing licensed G.I. Joe merchandise. This news post will periodically update with their confirmations.
Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse 2020
- Show Date: January 29th – February 02nd
- Location: Nürnberg, Germany
Initially oblivious to fans, this German toy fair became infamous with a half-leaked Titan Devastator (‘The German Bald Guy incident’). Since then, the security has been upgraded significantly. Spielwarenmesse is a specialized trade fair. For this reason, admission tickets can only be purchased if you are a trade professional.
- List of G.I. Joe product exhibitors:
Hasbro Deutschland GmbH (Booth: Hall 12.0 / F-10 to H-05)
Content kept under wraps.
New York Toy Fair 2020
- Show Date: February 22nd – 25th
- Location: Jacob K. Javits Center, New York
Most prestigious toy fair of them all. TFW2005 network will represent the fans to bring you the best coverage from the show floor. We are yet to receive the official press release from Hasbro. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more info.

If there ever was a place to show off what the line has in store for us this is it. And I am prepared to be both surprised and disappointed.

I almost expect goofy, super deformed anime styled figures at this point.

I’ll take spring launchers at this point if only they are modern sculpts

I just hope they come out with something at a reasonable price point. Right now NECA REEL TOYS is getting most of my money, they're nice but pricey.
