NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kayou, China’s No. 1 collectibles company and one of the world’s fastest-growing collectible trading card brands, is making its official Toy Fair New York debut as it enters a pivotal year of expansion in the U.S. market. Following a breakout launch at New York Comic Con and a sell-out 2025 holiday season, Kayou arrives at Toy Fair showcasing major IP expansions, first looks at new collectible trading card releases, and the introduction of new product categories designed to deepen how fans engage with their favorite worlds.
At the front of Kayou’s booth (#6735), attendees will experience a striking art installation — a 17-foot immersive wall of 450 collectible trading cards revealing a ghosted Kayou logo — creating a must-see Toy Fair destination and a dramatic backdrop for photos and live media moments. Attendees can also explore a collector’s display case featuring some of Kayou’s rarest cards from around the world, including the chase card tied to the brand’s fan-focused MY LITTLE PONY “Chase the Magic” sweepstakes.
Already a global powerhouse in collectible trading cards, Kayou is known for its breathtaking artistry, premium craftsmanship, and a vast universe of nearly 100 iconic brands. Guided by its “Here for the Superfans” philosophy, Kayou creates products with purpose–designed to deepen emotional connection, spark joy, and let fans celebrate the stories and characters that shape who they are. Fans can collect, display, wear and live their fandom every day. More of those worlds will arrive in the U.S., with new collectible trading card releases alongside expanded product categories in the pipeline, including collectible figures, stationery, accessories and card-plus-collectible bundles.
In 2026, as Kayou accelerates its U.S. expansion, the company will introduce officially licensed collectibles for a slate of beloved entertainment, anime and pop culture franchises.

The lineup also includes Star, Rainbow and Fun Moments Editions, offering multiple price points for both new fans and longtime collectors.

At Toy Fair, attendees will also be able to explore collectible trading cards and products from Kayou’s broader licensed universe, including Harry Potter, The Powerpuff Girls, Ultraman, SKEEN, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Three Kingdoms — Kayou’s first self-owned IP.
In addition, Kayou will reveal new collaborations and IP partnerships live from the show floor, offering Toy Fair attendees exclusive early looks at what’s coming next.
