Hey everyone,
I wanted to post this early. Toy Fair is starting next Sunday - and I'm going to be there Monday and Tuesday for work.
If there are any specific areas you want me to check out, let me know. My two big focuses will be Hasbro for any SHS news and Mattel for Action League. And probably LEGO.
Let me know if there is stuff you want to see, like specific figures or photos and I'll do my best.

Do they ever have exclusive figures at the Toy Fairs? Nope, Toy Fair is an industry only event and isn't open to the public.

Nice work Jester! How did you land an invite? Is your blog making waves among the manufacturers?
Anyway, I'm especially stoked for updates regarding SHS and Action League. If you can ask Mattel about the fate of the missing Brave and the Bold figures (Metal Man, Man-Bat, Starro (REALLY want Starro), Solomon Grundy, etc.) that'd be great!
I'd actually like to ask if you could look into the Tokyo Vinyl Godzilla line, too. I have Godzilla and Mechagodzilla, but I'm eager to find out if they'll be producing more characters for that line. The style is amazing.
Also, if you can get any information regarding Mighty Muggs and Mini-Muggs from Hasbro, that'd be greatly appreciated too!
Speak on behalf of us Jester; I implore you! Try to get Hasbro and Mattel to put some love into the mini-fig lines.
WOOO!!
-MTR

I got a new job last August, I now handle marketing for a chain of stores here in Boston.
I plan on getting some answers about SHS (and will be adamantly looking for any new figures).

Jester I would be interested in any news of Galactic Heroes and also if Hasbro has any plans to new vehicles/beasts for the Adventure Heroes line instead of just retooling the GH versions ... Could GH return now with the new movies or even become a Disney product?

www.rebelscum.com/story/front/The_411_Hasbros_SDCC_2013_Exclusives_150139.aspAccording to our spies, a 6-inch scale Black Series Boba Fett will be part of Hasbro's 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive offerings. Now, before you get upset at the thought of a main character being offered as a convention exclusive, consider that Hasbro's recent track record has been to make their exclusives available at retail post-convention. What's more, Boba Fett comes in a variety of decos so it's also plausible that the exclusive could be a paint variant such as the animated debut or McQuarrie concept Fett.

I'm actually kind of excited about Jabba and the Gamorean.

Jabba is a re-hash from Galactic Heroes. Same with the Gammorean and Han in Carbonite. XD

Sure, but retail price for them beats eBay for custom fodder.

I'm actually kind of excited about Jabba and the Gamorean. I am disappointed that the only new vehicle is the Jedi Starfighter that we already have in GH's ... Could there be a reason as to why no TIE fighter other than profit margin?
