We celebrate the enduring popularity of Barbie and also take a look at how to secure funding for your business.
The June 2013 edition of ToyNews is now available to read online and on your iPad.
The issue features a celebration of Mattel's Barbie brand. We talk to Emma Stowers, senior marketing manager for Barbie Europe, about the longevity of the fashion doll in the marketplace, before taking a look at just some of the new products coming up from licensees.
In addition, we showcase the different ways that toy companies can secure funding for their business - talking to firms including Trunki and MakieLab about how they did it.
We also talk to Esdevium, Galt Toys and Walker Books about their respective plans for the remainder of 2013, while Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles features in our Anatomy of a Blockbuster Toy section this month.
All this, as well as exclusive regulars from NPD, Dubit, Nickelodeon, Generation Media, ToyShopUK, Jon Salisbury, Steve Reece and David Smith.
