Toy Fair 2010: Idolz Toys

Idolz Toys was at Toy Fair with their Gruntor Idolz toy (shown above). They also had some of the upcoming variant designs/characters on display. Wanna see 'em? Ahh...you'll have to click below. IDOLZ TOYS GALLERY

2010 Toy Fair, Mezco Toys

Toy Fair 2010: Mezco

Mezco Toyz was in attendance at Toy Fair 2010 with a booth full of new items. Our favorite? The above pictured Beetlejuice Mez-Itz. If you're a horror fan, there were plenty of Mez-Itz figures to quench your need (Jason, Freddy, Wolfman, Dracula, Saw). Other licenses on display were Little Big Planet, Family Guy (a re-release [...]

Toy Fair 2010: Funko

One thing I learned at Toy Fair was that Funko is getting into the plush game. If you thought the company was only about Wacky Wobblers...think again. There plush line - ironically named Plushies - features some pretty big licenses (Justice League, Alice in Wonderland, Rudolph, and the Wizard of Oz). FUNKO GALLERY

Toy Fair 2010: Elite Gudz

We got to the Elite Gudz booth a little too early (I was only there on Sunday - the first day of the show). Phetus and the crew didn't even have enough time to customize any of the extremely creepy little kid statues. But the pair of murals they had up looked great. ELITE GUDZ [...]

2010 Toy Fair, BIC Plastics

Toy Fair 2010: BIC Plastics

BIC Plastics was one of the few designer vinyl companies in attendance at Toy Fair 2010. They had the BIC Buddy Artist Series 1 line on display, as well as larger versions of the BIC Buddy figure. I saw the 8" tall BIC Buddy and (while I couldn't photograph it) was totally impressed! (Let's just [...]

2010 Toy Fair, Rocket USA

Toy Fair 2010: Rocket USA

The Rocket USA Toy Fair booth was a veritable Lubieland, as the Lubies were out in full force. Artist Joy Michel was in attendance, as was the full lineup of MLB Lubies. Have a favorite team? They've got it. Also, be on the lookout for some other sports teams adding Lubies to lineup of licensed [...]

2010 Toy Fair, Uglydolls

Toy Fair 2010: Uglydolls

The Pretty Ugly Toy Fair booth was yet again an extremely happening spot. In addition to a slew of tin products from Schylling (robots, alarm clock, trucks, lunch boxes, Ox in a Box), the 2010 line of Uglydoll plushies were on display. If you're a vinyl fan, the Uglydoll Action Figures Series 2 and Be@rbrick [...]

Toy Fair 2010: Triad Toys

If there was one figure that was "dying" to get a look at, it would be Triad Toys' 1/6 scale Dexter. Ever since they announced they had the Dexter license, I've been patiently anticipating (like many fans of the Showtime show) just getting a glimpse. And we were all rewarded. Doh! We had to remove [...]

2010 Toy Fair, Tonner Doll Co.

Toy Fair 2010: Tonner Doll Co.

Tonner Doll Co. was at Toy Fair with a number of new and (until then) unseen Tonner Character Figures. The most impressive? That would be the upcoming Alice in Wonderland (Tim Burton and Disney) figures. Unfortunately, there were no photographs allowed of The Mad Hatter, The Red Queen and The White Queen. If they come [...]

Toy Fair 2010: Vamplets

Oftentimes, you go into a show or convention and find something that completely surprises you...in a good way. That award goes to the line of plush baby vampires named the Vamplets from Kamhi World. The extremely cute characters have a great story behind them (we'll have a review of the line later this month) and [...]
