Toy Fair 2012: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Action Figures

A few weeks ago, MTV Geek had the honor of debuting the entire lineup of new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from Playmates Toys. While we thought it couldn't possibly get any better, during Toy Fair 2012 Playmates had a few tricks up their sleeves and unveiled 2 painted figures, an unpainted prototype, and 3 pieces of character artwork based on creatures old and new from the TMNT-universe! Naturally, upon seeing this we geeked out right there in front of the Playmates Reps, and then proceeded to take a bunch of photos. Now it's your turn!

Read on for closer looks at the upcoming figures that will give the Heroes in a Halfshell something to fight.

Toy Fair 2012: Underground Toys Brings 'Doctor Who' To Toy Fair

Posted 19 hrs ago by Alex Zalben in TV, Toys

Underground Toys may not have had to travel through time and space to bring Doctor Who to Toy Fair 2012, but they did pack way more toys, figures, and cool accessories on the inside of the booth than it might have seemed on the outside. To find out more, we chatted with Robyn Morgan, the Licensing Director of Underground Toys, and discovered that she’s just as excited about their plush toys as she is about their rubbish bins:

That wasn’t the only cool little item we discovered at Toy Fair, though... From a squeezable Adipose, to - spoilers, sweetie - a baby River Song in an impossible astronaut action figure, Underground has all your Timelord needs covered. And not just the Eleventh Doctor, either, there’s plenty of classic toys, from Tom Baker, to David Tennant, and more: Read more...

Toy Fair 2012: New Clue Game is About Committing the Crime, Not Solving It

Posted 20 hrs ago by Matt Morgan in Hasbro, Hobby Gaming, Toy Fair, Toys

A packaging mock-up for the upcoming Clue Elimination shown at Toy Fair 2012

Of all the games I was expecting to see from Hasbro at this year's Toy Fair, a dart shooting version of Clue was not among them. Color me surprised, but also color me impressed. Clue Elimination draws more inspiration from the free-form live-action game of Assassin than it does from traditional Clue, but Clue Elimination also looks quite fun.

Toy Fair 2012: Square Enix Visits Arkham

Being huge fans of Square Enix' Play Arts Kai figures, the company's booth at Toy Fair 2012 was one of our most anticipated stops. While we are anticipating having the upcoming Batman and Joker from their 'Batman: Arkham City' line in our collections very soon, we are already anticipating even more figures after seeing the Armored Batman and Harley Quinn on display! Square Enix is producing figures that , while more expensive than some, are works of highly-articulated art. Don't believe us? Just check out the upcoming photos!

Toy Fair 2012: Cornboy Talks Mattel's DC Universe Figure Lines

Welcome back to our coverage of Toypocalypse 2: Futuretro! while the first part concentrated on the party itself and the amazing Outer Space Men customs, this round we're concentrating a little more on the darker side of things-- the Gothitropolis side of things, to be exact! In 2011, Scarabus (the first figure from the line) made his presence felt in our annual Top Ten Toys list, and the two new figures unveiled during the Toypocalypse show at TT Undergound will be hot on his heels hooves! While Toy Fair 2012 allowed us to see many, many great new action figures at the Javits Center, this gallery show blew us away. Long live the independents!

Read on for a photo-filled look at some incredible toy sculpts and upcoming releases from Gothitropolis!

Toy Fair 2012: My Interview with Underground Toys and Their Star Wars Plushies!!

Posted 2/21/12 2:30 pm ET by Laurel Woods in Star Wars, Toy Fair, Toys, Woodsy's World of Star Wars

So some of you may remember my interview at last year's NY Toy Fair with the fabulous Robyn from Underground Toys. She gave us the scoop on all their fabulous Star Wars plush toys and we got the special preview of their 24" plush Chewie, which was a HUGE HIT in my office this past year. It literally brought tears of joy to many an MTV employee!! This year Underground Toys has even more cool stuff to show us, including these ball plush toys AND keychain size toys like Jawa! I squeezed the Jawa and it immediately screamed UTINNI at me!! I think that's my favorite Star Wars soundboard bite ever.

Toy Fair 2012: Nerf Shows Off New Ways to Throw, Shoot, and Soak

Posted 2/21/12 12:30 pm ET by Matt Morgan in Hasbro, Toy Fair, Toys

Hasbro's Nerf line includes traditional sports balls, foam dart and disc guns, and also the Super Soaker brand, but all of them managed to receive impressive updates at this year's Toy Fair. The focus of these new products' features were either ways to play at night or ways to make blasters larger and more powerful. Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on them.
