Toy Fair 2011 – NECA Duke Nukem, Terminator, Gears of War, BioShock

I’m getting settled back in after a whirlwind trip to NYC for Toy Fair, so I’ll be posting the remaining pics over the next few days. Up next is NECA – I will probably never forgive them for deep-sixing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wave 2 figures, but I’ll admit that it’s hard to keep the blood boiling when they continue to put out awesome figures for the lines that have continued to thrive.

Toy Fair 2011 – Bandai Thundercats Video

So, let me come clean – we missed Bandai at Toy Fair. It’s my fault too – the show room was by appointment only, and I didn’t actually make any appointments this year.

Luckily, Bandai PR came to the rescue, with a well-timed press release. Read on for the complete release and a video of the toys.

Don’t forget to pop in the heart-shaped chest emblem for your favorite Valentine.
