ToyQuest Exhibits at the Licensing Show for the First Time
April 14, 2008 – (Los Angeles, CA) – ToyQuest, industry leader of innovative, outdoor seasonal products, proudly presents BANZAI, the most recognized seasonal brand for children ages 5-15, at the Licensing International Expo at the Javits Convention Center in New York City from June 10-12, 2008. This is the first time ToyQuest will exhibit at the show.
The 20 x 40 booth will feature ToyQuest’s number one outdoor brand, BANZAI. Introduced just five years ago, BANZAI is the fastest growing mass surf brand and the number one seasonal toy brand, entering 20,000 retail doors every year. The BANZAI brand currently encompasses several product categories such as constant air, blower powered waterslides and bouncers, playhouses, flat waterslides, inflatable pools and pool toys, sprinklers, water blasters, sand toys, backyard water activities, and much more.
Several BANZAI products have already been recognized in the industry. In 2006, the Toy Industry Association nominated the Original BANZAI Waterslide as the Outdoor Toy of the Year and Toy Wishes named the BANZAI Falls Criss-Cross Waterslide and the Banzai Skimboard Surfer to the Hot Dozen lists in 2007 and 2008, respectively. BANZAI items have also been seen on Live with Regis and Kelly and the KTLA morning show in Los Angeles, local television stations and several consumer print publications.
BANZAI is the number one brand in waterslides, selling more slides than all toy manufacturers combined and is the second largest brand in water guns. It is also the largest television advertised seasonal brand.
Because of its huge retail success and accelerating growth, ToyQuest will be actively licensing out the brand in all categories (including, but not limited to): footwear, sporting goods, stationary, apparel and accessories, sunglasses, bath and body, room décor, surf gear, and novelties.
