San Diego Comic-Con, Toy Fair, and other regional event coverage
Here’s a couple of pics from the Toynami booth – no Narutos or Futurama in the booth. They did have a Masterpiece Voltron with light up eyes on display. No word on the release date for that one.
I have to say, the DC Skelanimals and the Hello Kitty / Street Fighter mashups do look good!

Hasbro held its panel for its Star Wars brand yesterday, and here’s the (not quite) complete video. Unfortunately, I missed a short portion in the middle of the panel with some camera problems – during the product discussion for the Star Wars Saga figures.
The panel opened with a preview of Angry Birds Star Wars 2 and the introduction of new Birds figures that interact with the game. It was followed by what I was waiting for, the reveal of upcoming Star Wars Black Series 6-inch figures. Han shot first!
My excitement for the 6-inch Hasbro Star Wars Black Series figures continues unabated – and this is without even having opened and played with a single figure. Sure, I was lucky enough to be able to score an exclusive Boba Fett, but even though my buddy Hiro Nagano took a peek inside the box, I didn’t have the chance to take the bounty hunter out of his cardboard prison before my wife took him to UPS with the rest of our loot from the first couple of days to ship home.
Wave 2 was announced at the Hasbro Star Wars panel today (video to go up shortly) – I had said it would be crazy if Han Solo weren’t in this wave, after Entertainment Earth first revealed Greedo in the wave – I’m glad the Hasbro team isn’t crazy. Slave Leia was also a huge want for so many. And folks who don’t have a shot at the SDCC Boba Fett exclusive will be able to get him in wave 2, with no deco chances.
Hasbro has added some figures to its Marvel display since Preview Night, including its two exclusives – the Marvel Legends Thunderbolts set and the Marvel Universe Deadpool Taco Truck.
The Hasbro Marvel panel is late Saturday afternoon, so expect an Instapics update in the early evening.
