Equipment: Mattel at Toy Fair 2018
Toy Fair is really a sight to behold. To give you an idea of 
just how massive it is, the venue is the Jacob Javits convention center. This building has a total of 1,840,000 square footage with 840,000 square feet designated as the exhibition space. Toy Fair takes up the whole place and that doesn’t include the events that occur off-site. So probably close to one million square feet of toys; that my friends is a lot of toys. I think it would put Santa’s workshop to shame. Continue reading

Equipment: NECA Blade Runner 2049 Cinemachines Spinner
The Batmobile, The Black Beauty, K.I.T.T., these are all 
iconic vehicles. Each one is linked to a larger than life hero. Batman, The Green Hornet, David Hasselhoff, you can’t think of one without the other because the vehicles are an extension of these heroes. Another iconic vehicle is the Spinner from Blade Runner. When the original Blade Runner came out in 1982 the Spinner became linked to the hero, Deckard, and now with the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, the new Spinner has become linked to Officer K, the new Blade Runner on the block.

Equipment: Diamond Select Toys at Toy Fair 2018
Another year and another Toy Fair under our
belts, time truly does fly. This year was different because I had staff. Actually calling them staff almost seems like an insult since Rob Banks from The Red Cup Review and The Domination are so much more than just helpers. Giant shout outs to them both.
No matter how hard I work at Toy Fair I feel that I don’t get anything accomplished. The show is massive. I know that there are things I have never had the chance to see in the 7 years I have been attending. It would be nice if we had a full week at Toy Fair. That would work out for me, but I don’t think that the vendors would agree. Continue reading

Equipment: McFarlane Toys The Walking Dead Negan Merciless Edition 10-Inch Figure
When Negan and the Saviors arrived on The Walking
Dead everything changed. Negan was the most sadistic and vile of all of the villains that Rick and company had ever encountered. Negan and his brutal group took whatever they wanted from whomever they came across and that included taking innocent lives. Fans seem to love Negan though. He is, to use the cliché phrase, the one you love to hate. Regardless of whether you love him or completely despise him you have to admit that Jeffery Dean Morgan gives an excellent performance. So now, thanks to McFarlane Toys the fans of Negan can now take him home for their very own. Continue reading

Equipment: New from Hasbro The Black Panther 12 Inch Marvel Legends Action Figure
Some people think they were born in the wrong 
time. Sadly, I am one of those who wish I was born in a different time. While many with this belief wish to have been born in an earlier, simpler time I wish I had been born later; toys are so much better now. We are living in an age where comic books and superheroes are mainstream. Kids these days have some of the coolest toys (that line needs to be read in a grumpy old man voice followed by the line, “Get off my lawn!”).
One of the toy lines I have been very impressed with is the Marvel Legends 12 inch figure line from Hasbro. This ever growing figure line includes: Captain America, Deadpool (2 versions), Thor, Spider-Man (2 versions), Iron Man, Wolverine and Daredevil (a San Diego Comic Con exclusive) and now Black Panther.
