Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair 2003Let the Fun Begin On A Global Scale The Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair 2003 plays host to the world's toy industry at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre from January 7-10.

There are eight group pavilions from the Chinese mainland, Germany, Italy, Korea, Pakistan, Spain, Taiwan and Thailand. The four-day event showcases a wide variety of products, from educational toys and games and battery-operated and electronic toys, to soft toys and dolls, baby toys and products, die-cast/mechanical toys and action figures.
