The Tokyo Toy Show 2022, a toy exhibition organized by the Japan Toy Association, was held at Tokyo Big Sight for two days on June 16 and 17, 2022.

The toy industry's market size in FY2021 reached a record high of 894.6 billion yen.
The Tokyo Toy Show was a showcase of ambitious new products from all companies, as if to remind us of the momentum of the toy industry, which is further expanding its market after the Corona Disaster. Although this year's show was limited to business meetings, which were open only to those involved in the business, it was the first time in three years that the Tokyo Toy Show was held, and as such, the event was extremely exciting.

This time, we will introduce the new series "Unitro Bone," which is a lineage of Bandai's traditional robot toy "Machine Robo," as well as new toys related to "Demon Slayer" and "ONE PIECE!
