The fair has attracted about 1,900 exhibitors from 41 countries and regions, and this year includes first-time participants from Iran.
Although the fair is still dominated by the traditional toys such as dolls, model cars and plastic toys, smartphone-related toys are under the spotlight at this year's event.
A toy tank controlled by a smartphone is attracting a lot of attention at the 39th Toys and Games Fair in Hong Kong. To stage a battle with the vehicles you need to download the correct app from iTunes, charge up your tanks and then let the fun begin.
Kevin Mak, the CEO of Maksco Toy Ltd., is playing with a smartphone attached to a toy gaming gun. With the help of the phone's built-in camera, the game allows players to shoot aliens in a "real-world" environment.
Mak says his company is working hard to combine new technologies with traditional toys.
"Of course, we see the potential of augmented-reality, and we thought this technology would enhance the playing level or enhance the game of the toy. So, we thought, you know, we want to put this all together into this AR (augmented-reality) gun."
Mak says he has noticed more games and toys featuring smartphones being designed.
"One of the reasons is the smartphone is getting very popular, and apps (application) are almost free for everybody. So, the penetration of using smartphones and apps is becoming like a trend."
