Winter Edition of ANME Founders Show Wraps

BURBANK, Calif.—The ANME Founders Show wrapped its two-day run Monday, with exhibitors showcasing new products as well as strengthening relationships with colleagues.

Doc Johnson—one of the original Founders—was front and center in the main ballroom, showcasing additions to several collections, including Kink by Doc Johnson, Main Squeeze and The D.

Ryann Brooks, marketing coordinator for Doc Johnson, noted the mega-manufacturer continuously pays attention to customer feedback, which recently led to the creation of the Squirting Cumplay Cock in the Kink range. Other additions are three new wrist/ankle cuffs made of hemp and fully adjustable thanks to included pull tabs, as well as a Flex Extender for the range’s fucking machine.

The Crystal Jellies line got an update with new shapes and new packaging, while The D collection added two new shapes, the Uncut D and the Fat D.

Some of the biggest additions were to the company’s Main Squeeze and Man Squeeze lineups. Adult performers Katrina Jade, Lela Star and Ariana Marie were all molded for their own strokers while, based on the success of the first model based on a social media star, @playmateiryna, Doc Johnson added versions molded from @ana.lorde, @viking.barbie and @brittanya187 (display pictured above).

“We really rely on analytics, and our new social media stars in the Main Squeeze line are those who really have not just followers, but also engagement, interaction and more,” explained Thao Dipolito, marketing manager for Doc Johnson.

Combined, the new models boast more than 30 million social media followers, and @brittanyaq187 is in the Top 50 accounts on Instagram.

For fans of men, the Man Squeeze added three new models molded from popular performers: Sean Cody exclusive Randy, and William Seed and Ryan Bones from Men.com. In addition to strokers molded from their asses, the men’s penises also were molded for dildos.

Other performers releasing Doc Johnson dildos molded from their cocks are Xander Corvus and Jason Luv.

Continuing its partnership with Doc Johnson, Foria also was featured in the booth, this time introducing their new For Intimacy Vape Pens and new massage oils. Foria is a company focused on women’s sexual wellness by creating products that features botanicals and sun-grown and organic CBD. The Vape Pens come in three flavors, each designed for use at various states of sexual arousal: during foreplay (Cocoa Mint), during sexual activity (Tropical Bouquet) and during recovery (Forest Spice). Each pen contains 200 mg of CBD.

In the Earthly Body booth, company reps showcased the latest scents of their popular Hemp Seed 3-in-1 Massage Candles. The summer scents are Island Fever, Tropical Bliss and Bikini Bombshell. Island Fever features notes of tropical pineapple, island mango and sheer musk, while Tropical Bliss blends cool coconut, papaya and sweet bourbon, and Bikini Bombshell combines the aromas of sparkling pink champagne, green hibiscus and sandalwood.

Topco Sales—another of the Founders—also was set up in the main ballroom, and buyers and attendees were treated to its new Jackhammer Multi-Sensation Pussy & Ass masturbator. The piece is designed to deliver a realistic sexual experience with ultra-realistic tugging, squeezing and pulling on command. A wired remote control helps the masturbator heat up to a lifelike temperature and power through six functions of vibration and massage functions. Made from Topco’s proprietary CyberSkin material, the piece features two openings, and comes with a bottle of CyberSkin Water-based Lubricant, bonus warming ward and more.

Also on display in the booth was the new Lure Sleep-Well Collection. The essential oil, diffuser and spray can be used together to create a relaxing sleep environment by relaxing the mind and body. The spray and the oil can be placed on sheet, pillows and comforters without leaving any stains.

In the Nasstoys booth, company reps met with buyers to display the expanded dual layer dong collection RealCocks.

Icon Brands debuted its new Fisting Trainer System, considered one of the first training kits specifically for fisting in the pleasure products industry. The collection boasts the previously released The Finger and The Grip and now features the Two-Fisted Grip.

Among the popular items in the Blush Novelties booth were the new soft BDSM/fetish line Temptasia, and the additions to the Avant range of brightly colored and uniquely shaped dildos and plugs.
