Jatta Pake Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The lackluster line-up makes me think that Toy Fair is becoming less important in the toy industry. Collectors seem to be the focus by a number of companies now, as retailers seem to be on autopilot. Are retailers even attending Toy Fair in numbers that they used to? I read somewhere that Melissa and Doug are the biggest exhibitors. I think retailers tire of the same re-hash of properties year after year, with an 80s movie recycled in for good measure. I can't get over the fact that a video game property is the huge reveal, while Disney Minimates are nowhere to be seen. Minimates are being sold in Disney stores! How could DST not land that license? You can put Mickey Mouse on poop and it will sell. Maybe the timing is finally right for video game Minimates? Why aren't any Capcom prototypes on display?

undeadpool Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 ok so looks like we will still be seeing another red skull (the one in the army builder wave, because it doesnt have the coat) and im assuming that the guy with the machine gun is fury, because the dreadnought seems like the army builder for the regular wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were: Pilot Infantry Flamethrower Soldier Red Skull I still think the Commando next to Dum Dum is "Young Nick Fury." Continuity and all... And, still underwhelmed. Really expected a bigger push for Toy Fair of all things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeycrumb Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I don't count Marvel Vs Capcom as "huge". I'm actually disappointed - it's not a new license, it's more of an extension of existing licenses. Are we getting all new characters? NO. We're getting Marvel characters re-hashed or re-released. Hopefully we'll get Modok and I'm happy for Dormammu, but it feels more like future Marvel waves with video game figures thrown in. I will be buying these, but I was really hoping for something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Oh boy, MOTU we are getting Clawful, Man-E-Faces, and an amazing looking The Faceless One among others. Seeing new MOTU pics makes up for not having anything new minimate wise to look at yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Day 1 I really hope they show Marvel Wave 40 and maybe even some of 41. Just showing the two Cap Movie sets isnt enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I was hoping to see DSTs stuff today, but the best so far to me is NECAs Gremlins line. Their Gremlin Spider is wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Did we know Diamond got the Musters licence before today? No Minimates - just 7" figures: http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2011/02/munsters-blog/ Herman looks terrific. I'm a big fan of Frankenstein's Monster but don't have any figures of him because I like my Frankenstein's Monster to be a little sillier then the very stoic ones that have been made, Herman should do very nicely. Also it's not confirmed... but how can we NOT get minimates? It's all parts reuse from the Universal Monsters/Marvel/BttF it would be like the Fantastic Four TRU wave of horror and they'd look fantastic with the Universal Monsters, Ghostbusters, and the few Darkstalkers we've got/are getting (and heck, throw Blade in there too!)

TM2 Dinobot Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 *yawn* Hey, I'm pretty excited about being able to get She-Ra at TRU. Even if it does come with that stupid super girl. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllStarMatt Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You might want to hold off on She-Ra then, because they also announced they're releasing a new She-Ra later this year that will be alternately articulated for her horse.

TENIME_art Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'd like to start the voting for Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine & Albert Wesker Minimates in the MvC3 line. First wave, please. I don't want to miss them because the line got canned because the Spider-Man vs. Ryu & Wolverine vs. Chun-Li packs warmed the frakking shelves...
