I really like the look of the new TMNT toys...might have to buy a set of the Turtles

This thread was a big success

It was mostly low-end stuff wasn't it. Maybe it'd have been more successful in the A&R section - a lot of us still love low-end in there.

I love me some low end toy crack. I got no problem with it

Due to scheduling I couldn't hit up as many of the booths as I wanted but from what I saw :

- No new 1/6th companies at the convention
- Couldn't meet with Hasbro so I didn't find out about Star Trek unfortunately
- Diamond Select seems to only be releasing Mini-mates in terms of figures, which is unfortunate.
- The person I talked to at DC Direct didn't think the Riddler would be coming with glasses but she didn't seem very helpful.
- Didn't see any James Bond figures at all

The convention isn't just low end figures but it's definitely not geared towards high-end stuff, just other areas of toys. Tech toys, educational toys, board games, and action figures primarily. The high-end stuff is typically limited to Kotobukiya, whatever Diamond Select is showcasing, prop replicas, and First4Figures/Gaming Heads. They expanded the area a LOT this year, hopefully next year they can attract more statue companies/or 1/6th" companies, since that's what I prefer getting photos of.

Here's my coverage :

- No new 1/6th

'nuff said - Toy Fair sucked

Meh. Low end.

I didn't see much in the way of pics out of this anywhere actually. I don't think NECA showed anything I hadn't already seen, mainly they twittered about upcoming stuff we hadn't heard about yet.

Other than that, only a few new Hasbro OT Star Wars figures were of interest.
