Summary:
Toy industry gears up for 2004

Article:

Thanks to HPANA

Manufacturers of children's toys come together for an annual convention next week at the American International Toy Fair in New York. Harry Potter licensees Mattel, Hasbro and Lego will be present, all hoping for a better year after disappointing industry sales in 2002 and 2003.

A handful of movies coming out in the spring, including sequels to Spider-Man, Shrek and the Harry Potter series, are expected to spawn popular licensed toy lines.

Lego's product line for the Prisoner of Azkaban movie appeared for pre-ordering on ToyWiz in January, but later mysteriously vanished. Thanks to reader Sirius Black (we assume the name is coincidental) and French site La Gazette du Sorcier, we have some images available once again:

Draco's encounter with Buckbeak
Hogwarts Express
Knight Bus
Hagrid's Hut
The Shrieking Shack
Sirius escapes
USA Today says licensed merchandise, such as those based on popular movies, television shows and characters, comprise 25% to 30% of total toy sales in a year. Spider-Man generated $1 billion in merchandise sales alone.

Personally, I am very upset with the LEGO company. I think they are making very cheap toys. You used to be able to buy a LEGO set and BUILD something- like a castle or a spaceship.

Nowadays, everything looks far too easy to construct, it's very sad. Personally, I think that they had a wonderful potential with the HP movies.

They could have sold sets to build replicas of Hogwarts Castle (real replicas, not the Fisher Price-looking thing they've got). Imagine hwo fun it would be to build Azkaban prison... A COMPLEX version.

Hopefully they will wise up and make some decent toys before they go out of business.
