I’ve been to car shows, gun shows (and not just me without a shirt), and of course comic conventions, but I have never seen anything the likes of Toy Fair. For a geek first class like myself, this was a mecca of nerdcore and since I had never attended I had zero expectations. I can honestly it was nothing like anything I could have imagined: primary colors, everywhere, blinking lights, plushies running around, so it was kind of like a casino except with better toys plus we chatted with EVERY-body.

Posted 2/15/13 2:53 pm EST by Eddie Wright in Horror, Movies, Toy Fair, Toys
The monsters were out in full force at this year's Toy Fair, especially when it came to Robert Kirkman's mighty zombies. But the BOOths were stocked with other creatures and creepy crawly ghoulies from a host of movies, TV shows, and pop culture. Here are some of the coolest horror toys, action figures, and statues that I spotted while roaming the floor.

Toy Fair 2013: Diamond Select Breaks Out Toys Based On Kirkman, Kirk, And Khan
Posted 2/14/13 5:52 pm EST by Eddie Wright in Comic Books, Toy Fair, Toys, TV
"The Walking Dead" was all over Toy Fair 2013, and one of the coolest spots for undead goodness, and more based on "Dead" creator Robert Kirkman's other comic output was Diamond Selects Toys. DST teased its line of Zombie Bust Banks, Minimates, ice cube trays, and more from "Walking Dead" as well as minimates from the comics "Invincible" and "Thief of Thieves."
In non-Kirkman news...but in KIRK news (boom!) DST showed off a series of great looking toys based on "Star Trek: The Original Series" including Tribbles and even Khan...though he doesn't look like Benedict Cumberbatch at all. Back to the drawing board DST!
Check out all that and more in the video below!
Toy Fair 2013: What's Todd McFarlane's Dream License?
Posted 2/14/13 4:32 pm EST by Eddie Wright in McFarlane Toys, Toy Fair, Toys
Even though McFarlane Toys seems like a big company considering its amazing figures from such awesome lines as "The Walking Dead," "Halo," and multiple movies over the years, it really is an independent operation. It can't compete with the huge billion dollar companies like Hasbro and Mattel, and that's something that irks CEO Todd McFarlane. "Every time there's a really big license, they back up the breach truck, they dump the cash. And I can't compete with them." When asked about which license he would work on if he could, McFarlane said that he wishes he could strike a very unique deal with said huge companies. He said, "You are the master license of it, but McFarane gets to make one figure."
Find out which ONE figure he would do, if he had access to the licenses that are currently in the hands of the big boys in our Toy Fair video below:

During Toy Fair, Funko revealed their new Pop Vinyl toys based on the great "Planet of the Apes" series. The first line consists of friend of human, and series ape hero Cornelius, General Ursus from "Beneath the Planet of the Apes," a working stiff Ape Solider, and of course, conflicted antagonist Dr Zaius from "Planet," "Beneath" and the TV series.
