Slugterra is one of those cartoons that is beloved by myself and my daughter, Eva. I wasn’t sure if she would like it at first, but she loves it. I had my own doubts about it, too. I’m very glad that I gave it a chance.
Last year I went to Toy Fair and looked all over for the Slugterra toys. I found some blasters and some slugs. The most recent toys that came out were action figures and some new slugs. I wanted to see if there were some new ones coming for 2014. I looked all over the place but there were no new Slugterra toys to speak of. I really wish that there were some more toys coming and also that more people had given this show a chance. It would have been nice to get a Mecha for Kord and maybe a Pronto and a Trixie figure. But I don’t forsee it happening. Maybe if more people end up watching the one-hour Slugterra movie.
While at Toy Fair I was able to attend a special blogger breakfast for SpinMaster. They had a ton of great toys for us to see. Some from Paw Patrol, Air Hogs, Flutterbye Fairies and a company that I didn’t know much about, Ionix.
Ionix is the company behind a new building block line with some very special blocks. Their blocks actually transform and have several points of articulation. Figures can move in different ways and the blocks work with other brands like LEGO and Mega Bloks.
The first line of toys from Ionix are the Tenkai Knights. These are great looking figures and vehicles that go along with a cartoon of the same name. I tried watching an episode of that show and I just couldn’t get into it. however, I am impressed with the toys. I also cannot wait for them to release the How to Train Your Dragon 2 toys. I got to see some very fun toys from the movie.
