varying sizes, crafted from dual density TPR
material. The pieces are made in the USA.
• Rimmers, a rotating bead anal plug
collection comprised of multiple shapes. Made
from silicone, the pieces come with a remote
control, and are waterproof.
• Hosed, a smart collection of extra-long
snakelike anal tools with suction bases.
• Master Series Thunder Stick Collection,
which is launching a new and improved
Thunder Stick 2.0 as well as a handful of jet-
black attachments for use with the massager.
• Pacifico Entertainment, a range of sculpted
realistic silicone cocks of hot adult performers
including Dominic Pacifico and Casey Everett.
Nasstoys, one of the founding fathers of the
pleasure products industry, also is returning to
exhibit at ANE.
“Elliot [Schwartz, founder of Nasstoys] loves
the show and a lot of buyers are attending,”
said Kathryn Hartman, sales and marketing
director for Nasstoys.
The manufacturer will be in Booth 500,
showcasing “several killer new collections,”
Hartman said. Among the new ranges are
Intense, which features high-end bullet
vibrators; Commander, a new range of men’s
items; and Infinitt, luxury specialty pleasure
products crafted in silicone.
The company has big plans for 2018,
Hartman added, including releasing one-of-
a-kind items that are designed to sell, and
continuing to offer improved customer service,
particularly in the international market.
Another giant in the pleasure game will be at
the show: East Coast News. Located at Booth
602, the adult distributor will be showing new
lines that were picked up in the last six to
twelve months, such as Fleshlight, Electrastim
and Shots America. And there will also be
some space dedicated to ECN’s exclusives
with Evolved Novelties, ABS Holdings and
Rascal Toys, among others. Lastly, according to
a spokesperson, “We will be proudly showing
products from our top-line manufacturer
partners like Doc Johnson, Pipedream,
CalExotics and System JO.”
Speaking of Rascal Toys, parent company
Channel 1 Releasing is returning this year to
ANE, and will showcase items from Rascal
and its other brand, Boneyard Toys. Among
the new items is the Daisy Skwert. Like its “O”
Award-winning predecessor, the Daisy Skwert
is an anytime-anywhere douche, since it screws
on top of practically any water bottle. But the
Daisy version is slightly smaller and slimmer,
making it more appealing to women and
first-time users. Boneyard Toys can be found in
Booth 410.
Traveling to the Las Vegas show all the way
from across the Atlantic is the Lovehoney sales
team. The British pleasure product giant is
gearing up for a very big 2018, starting off with
the launch of two new ranges this month, as
well as additions to current collections.
And if this year is bigger than last, that’s
really something. In 2017 Lovehoney debuted
a collection inspired by the TV show Broad
City, as well as a third and final installment
in the Official Fifty Shades Official Pleasure
Collection, Freed. Another thing sure to be
worthy of note is bondage gear in the Coco
de Mer Pleasure Collection—which is new to
the range. Items include floggers, wrist cuffs,
blindfolds and leather leads.
When it comes to sensual accessories—
and sexy lingerie—one of the standouts on
the ANE show floor will be Xgen Products.
Located in Booth 407, Xgen will showcase the
latest and greatest products from Bodywand,
Frederick’s of Hollywood and ZOLO, along
with items from the newly acquired Rabbit
Company, OVO Lifestyle Toys and Drilldo.
Apparel and lingerie from Latexwear, Lapdance,
Baci and Envy also will be on display.
Other lingerie exhibitors that also will
be found in Artist Hall include ANE first-
timer Pianola Lingerie, a Las Vegas-based
manufacturer that makes high-quality leather,
faux leather and PVC lingerie and accessories,
in Booth 203. Other apparel and accessory
exhibitors include Rouge Garments (Booth
603), Neva Nude (Booth 310) and Merkins.eu
(Booth 213).
One of the most anticipated displays at ANE
will be from Rock Candy Toys, making its
debut in Booth 107. The brand was designed
as a collaboration between longtime industry
vets with a keen eye for what consumers
want. Established by a powerhouse team
with vast experience in both product design/
manufacturing and marketing, Rock Candy
Toys is slated to draw mass appeal with its
toothsome creations. Read more about Rock
Candy Toys on page 14.
