From beloved brands like Barbie, Shopkins, Star Wars, Marvel’s Avengers, and Jurassic World to breakout hits like Fingerlings among many more surprises, we showcase hundreds of the best new toys from New York Toy Fair 2018!

We were in New York City at the 2018 Toy Fair on the lookout for the best new toys of the year. With seven football fields worth of toys, it’s like the world’s biggest toy store. Unfortunately, the show isn’t open to the public. From silly poop to nostalgic toys, Toy Fair had something for everybody.

After experiencing many of the playthings first-hand and much deliberation, we’ve hand-picked the Best Toys of Toy Fair 2018, including our award-winning ‘Best of Toy Fair 2018 Toy Buzz Award’ Winners, which stood out as the cream of the crop. Here’s your backstage pass to all of the coolest stuff we saw at New York Toy Fair.

Here are our favorite playthings showcased at Toy Fair 2018. These must-haves were so good that we had to honor them with an award.

Merge 6DoF BlasterMerge 6DoF Blaster

Put away the clunky expensive VR headset, Merge is bringing affordable “virtual reality” to the toy market. Blending digital and physical play, the Merge 6DoF blaster immerses you in the game using just your phone and a blaster accessory. It delivers six degrees of freedom, meaning it tracks your position and orientation so when you move, it moves. It’s something you have to experience. The tracking felt surprisingly accurate, and it was a pure blast to play without any heavy headsets or cumbersome wires. There are many AR toys, but hands-down, it’s the best VR/AR toy we have seen and our Toy of the Show.
