It’s officially July, so the Toy Book Top 10 is hitting the rewind button and taking a look back at some of the hottest stories of June 2022, as chosen by you, the readers.
The Toy Book‘s 2022 Specialty Toys issue debuted at the ASTRA Marketplace & Academy in Long Beach, California, quickly rocketing to the top of the Top 10. This issue was notable for coming in so close behind our 2022 Classics Issue which debuted just two weeks prior at Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. While the Classics Issue technically secured a slot within the Top 10, only news and features that were published in June qualify for an official designation.
With that in mind, news from LEGO, MGA Entertainment, ZURU, and The NPD Group dominated the most-read items here at the Toy Book last month.
