Toy Fair 2011 – Four Horsemen’s Toypocalypse

What an awesome way to start off Toy Fair – with Toypocalypse, an art show held at Toy Tokyo, featuring 10 years of action figure goodness from the Four Horsemen. The show opened tonight and will run through next Thursday, but I felt compelled to go tonight, before the craziness of Toy Fair began.

The show space was packed full of 4H fans – but the really overwhelming part was just seeing all the toys that the 4H have had a big hand in getting to our shelves. One section of the show space was dedicated to a “making of” section for the next figure that will be gracing our shelves – the Fantastic Exclusive Gothitropolis Scarabus.

And there was so much more – but there were also just far too many people there for me to get pics of it all. Some of the highlights for me were seeing the wall of never-ending packaged figures, from the 200X Masters line (and the follow-up NECA Stactions) through today’s Masters of the Universe Classics, DC Universe Classics, Seventh Kingdom, and Gothitropolis.

I had never seen the 2-ups for the 200X Masters line – and they had one section of the show space for them. Really amazing stuff. And it was definitely a thrill to see the little contribution that I had to that wall, with the Fwoosh-exclusive Seventh Kingdom figures, the Club of Thraugnn and Kromius. You can see pictures of the madness below.

If you are in the NYC area, do yourselves a favor and make it to Toypocalypse before this time next week. You won’t regret it!

  1. Even after all these years and the great new MOTUC line, it still blows that the 2002 line died before we got articulated versions of those Hordak and Clawful figures.
