The Toy Industry Association (TIA) will induct Peter Eio, former president of Lego Systems Inc., the late Ray Larsen, founder of RLA Marketing and the late Sydney Rosen, former owner of Rose-Art, Cra-Z-Art, into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame. These individuals were selected for induction by members of TIA in recognition of their significant contributions to the industry and the impact they have had on the lives of children through a lifelong commitment to toys and play. They will join a roster of 71 toy industry luminaries, including Jim Henson and George Lucas, who have been inducted into the Hall since it was established in 1984. Their induction ceremony will be held on Feb. 17, 2017 in conjunction with the annual Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards gala in New York City.
