The North American International Toy Fair (Toy Fair New York) is the largest toy industry trade show in the Western Hemisphere, held annually in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, produced by The Toy Association. It's a trade-only event for professionals like retailers, manufacturers, and media to discover new toys, games, and entertainment products.
Igor Goldman is a US Citizen, Mechanical Engineer, 3D Design Specialist, and inventor with extensive experience in product development and prototyping. He holds 7 US patents, including 5 patents in educational and cognitive toys, and has created a unique line of innovative puzzles designed to support learning and creativity. His products have been successfully introduced to international markets, including the UK. Puzzle Crystal represents the latest generation of his modular cognitive toy systems, combining engineering precision with educational value.
The story behind Puzzle Crystal
Igor Goldman began his journey as an inventor and engineer many years ago, driven by curiosity and a passion for creative problem-solving. Trained as a mechanical engineer and 3D design specialist, he has dedicated much of his career to developing practical, intelligent solutions in various fields. Over time, his focus turned toward educational toys, where he could combine technical knowledge with the joy of learning.
His first toy, Solnishko, became the starting point for a whole family of cognitive puzzles. Inspired by his own children and their need for engaging, meaningful play, Igor continued to create new designs that help develop logic, spatial thinking, and fine motor skills.
Today, with 7 US patents and more than a dozen earlier inventions, Igor continues to design toys that are simple in form yet rich in educational value. Puzzle Crystal is the result of years of experience, creativity, and dedication to making learning accessible, inclusive, and fun.

This is an archival video showing an early version of the invention. While the recording quality is modest, it captures the authentic origins of the Puzzle Crystal concept.
I could talk about him hours and hours, but will let him to say few words about himself.
“I love to exercise my brain and imagine in 3D any possible and impossible creations.
As soon something funny was created in brain, I could easy convert it in 3D model, assign different futures, colors, and shapes.”
The new toy is done!
Depending of assigned futures the new toy will work for different people different age, IQ level, health condition, imaginations. And most important in this process I see that each toy will serve for kid or adult to develop some special skills, sense of humor, even prevent some health problems.
I fully understand that the intellectual level of our society depends of what kind of toys are playing our kids and of course toys has to be intelligent, friendly, lovely, funny and so on… Sometimes it is not easy to imagine such toy, this is the challenge.
But our kids and our future will reward this challenge in full.
