Playmates at Toy Fair 2020: Ben 10, Power Players, and more

by Sean P. Aune | March 3, 2020March 3, 2020 10:34 am EST

Playmates is always a highlight of Toy Fair. Colorful displays, fun designs, it’s just a booth we always look forward to. However, things were slightly different this year as two major new lines were locked down (Godzilla vs. Kong and Billie Eilish), so we were limited in what we could get to see.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line had no new additions this year as a change appears to be coming to the animated series. This means the toy line is in a bit of a holding pattern for the time being.

Even with all of that, there was still a lot to see as other lines are still going strong and others are coming up.

First up, Ben 10 is still going strong and has a lot of new products were on display.
