CalExotics made a splash with bright colors similar to those in its popular Shane’s
World collection in its new Mini Marvels line. The items—the Marvelous Massager,
Marvelous EggCiter, Marvelous Bunny and Marvelous Flicker—are perfect as entry-
level pieces, as well as additions to a more seasoned player’s toy box. They come
with comic book-inspired marketing materials.
The manufacturer also revamped several collections with sleek new packaging,
including the Dr. Joel collection, a Rings collection and the Emperor collection.
Several existing collections also received new additions, including the Gyrating
Wand and Tulip Wand in the Inspire Collection; the Executive Vacuum Pump and
Executive Big Man’s Pump in the Pump collection; and new styles with the rolling
ball technology in the Embrace collection.
At Jopen, the manufacturer announced a new option for retailers interested in
informational brochures. Retailers will be able to select the number of brochures they
need and have them printed for free; they need only pay for the shipping.
According to Robin Stewart of Jopen, that isn’t the only nicety Jopen is offering
retailers. At the January ANME, Jopen brought out the new Callie line of bejeweled
vibrators, new items in the Vanity line and the Opal vibrator, which is a unique mix
of glass and silicone. “With the Opal, with the Callie, this is the first time we’re done
a whole experience for the retailer—where they can get the tester, the display, and
they’re only purchasing two deep on the product line, so it’s very affordable,” she
said.
Stewart also showed off new Jopen branded bags that retailers can provide to
customers and said that Jopen was also offering gift-with-purchase deals. “We’re not
here to keep adding more product if it isn’t necessary—we’re here to listen to the
retailer, and they’re telling us what are hot sellers and what’s going well, and we’re
focused on that,” Stewart said, adding that CEO Susan Colvin “realizes the retailers
know what they’re talking about. They’re dealing with the customer every day, so
we take their advice. We’re listening.”
She added, “And we as a company haven’t raised our prices in three years, so the
margins are there for the retailer. And they’re loving it—they’re eating it up. Our
Callie line—we’ve already sold out. We purchased a whole slew and people just
bought it all up in January. The reorders are coming in fast and furious.”
Nasstoys showcased several items released since the last ANME show in January.
Among the biggest items was the Natural RealSkin Hot Cock, which features 12
functions, heats up to 113 degrees F and is bendable and posable. Also new in
the booth were the Cockring with Tickler set for couples and the Sex Collection,
which features rechargeable massagers, including the Orgasm Bunny, which has
dual motors and offers seven functions and a curved handle that makes it more
ergonomic.
A first for Nasstoys was the Get It On! Inflatable Strap-on Penis, which marks the
entry of the manufacturer into the word of bachelorette items.
