Alright. This week was the annual Toyfair event, where companies show off new and upcoming product for retailers and press. There will be a fair few pics. None of them are mine. I've just uploaded them to my Photobucket. They're all watermarked with the respective sites. This also is NOT a comprehensive log. I'm not showing everything, just things I liked, and/or thought others may like. I'm sure I'll have missed some stuff. First up: there's been a rumour going around that DC Direct is not going to be making action figures anymore, and that Mattel will now be handling all toys, while DC Direct does statues, busts, etc. Higher end stuff, really. It co-incides with Georg Brewer's leaving, after 9? years in charge of DC Direct. Mattel already has DC Universe Classics and Green Lantern Classics, and numerous other DC lines aimed at kids. They've announced they're also now doing figures based on the 'Arkham Asylum' game, which does tend to lend some credence to the rumour. DC Direct also has figures coming up from the game, but this is the first directly competing line. Anyway, onto the pics. First up, these are from the upcoming Legion Of Super-Heroes 12-pack (Yep, nice way to get a whole Legion at once):

The Bronze Tiger figure looks pretty cool. I didn't know he was a black dude either.

 Okay, this isn't technically comics related, but I love it, and have had mine on pre-order for a few weeks now.  It's a massive Lion-O from the Thundercats. Thundercats had a big presence, with plenty of toys coming out for the new cartoon, and material from the 80's cartoon (like the above 14 inch figure) for the nostalgic amongst us.  PS I may be uploading these pics over the next few days, as I see various stuff that looks neat. Plus it's 2:30am here.

12-pack? As in all 12 come in one set?
They're really nice- I'd like a Brainiac 5, Chameleon Boy and maybe Wildfire.
The Bronze Tiger is great looking too.

In the set: Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy, Chameleon Boy, Colossal Boy, Invisible Kid, Karate Kid, Matter-Eater Lad, Ultra Boy, Timber Wolf and Wildfire.
Plus Superboy and Proty.
So, 13 and 1/4 figures?

The Bronze Tiger is great looking too. Yes. They're only available in one colossal 12-pack, which I think will also have accessories like Proty, and possibly a ball painted to look like Bouncing Boy. I believe it'll be on sale at Mattel's website, http://www.mattycollector.comI'm not sure when.

Next up is Hasbro's 4-inch 'Marvel Universe' line. There's some GREAT stuff coming up. My personal favourite is the Fantastic Four pack, all modeled off the unfortunately short-lived Dale Eaglesham costumes and look. Sue looks a bit butch though.  This post will be split up, as there's quite a few pics I think people will want to see. We'll start with the biggest, which is the massive Sentinel. I believe it's a tad bigger than the older Toy Biz one, but again, I'm not sure. I'm hoping they repaint it with more purple, to make it look more classic. To give you a sense of the scale, note the Reed figure next to it. The Reed is roughly 4 inches tall.  I'm assuming these come as a pack, along with the other 2 sets shown
