Equipment: A Look at the DC Collectibles Booth from Toy Fair 2016
The term, “so much____,so little time” is very true. T
hat phrase is especially spot-on when covering Toy Fair in New York City. There are hundreds of companies and individuals displaying what they have to offer which makes it impossible for one reporter to stop at every booth. Basically you have to pick and choose what to cover long before day 1. Though I do make time to stop and make new friends, there are just too many of my old friends that I can’t ignore. One of those booths I can’t pass by is the DC Collectibles booth. Every year they show off some beautiful stuff and this year was no exception. Continue reading

Equipment: Captain Action LIVES and He is Ready to Save the World
Toy Fair is that great time of year when you get to see all of the new toys that 
companies will be releasing in the next year. I love seeing all of the new things that are going to cause me to eat Ramen noodles for the next year. Toy Fair is also the time to catch up with old friends.
The team over at Captain Action are some of my favorite people. It has nothing to do with the fact they make one of my favorite figures (Captain Action), well maybe that is part of it…but these guys are great. Continue reading
