Best of Toy Fair Part 2 - Iwako Erasers


We always look forward to spotting the big Japanese crazes at Toy Fair - they are invariably very cool indeed. Last year it was Micro Pets, which were awesome. This year, we spotted the small, very plain looking box with the Japanese writing from about 40 paces. "Iwako," the sign above the stand told us. We already knew that the box would contain something great...

Iwako make fantastically fun-shaped erasers - many with removable and inter-changeable parts. Massively trendy in Japan, already huge in the US, and about to be huge here too - there have been over 800 Iwako erasers released in Japan, and a fair number of them will be available in the UK within the next week or two. You can find out more about Iwako here.
