Cool Toy VIDEOS From Pomona

Didn't Fly West? See What You Missed

By Alison Marek
April 2007

The TDmonthly Magazine video crew moseyed out to Pomona to capture manufacturers demonstrating their new toys at the annual WTHRA show. We saw everything from cute, ghoulish plush to a mathematics card game to an animated program from former Disney artists that teaches kids to be creative.

Now you can watch, too: Just click on the manufacturer's name.

NOTE: If a video stutters or stalls, click again on the "Watch Video" link; it may take a couple of clicks before the video uploads completely the first time.

Manufacturers: Find out how a TDmonthly Video attracts buyers. Videography and editing by Alison Marek.
