I know a lot of us (me included) are starting to get psyched up for San Diego Comic-Con next week, but the Tokyo Toy Fair is underway right now. Running through this weekend, we might get a glance here and there of upcoming toys.
For example Hot Toys just posted a few pictures on their Facebook page from their booth at Tokyo Toy Fair. The pics included my first look at the Royce (Adrien Brody) figure from its Predators line. I still haven’t seen the movie, but everyone says it’s awesome!
Tokyo Toy Fair has just started! Curious to know about our booth, set-up, new products and Toy Fair Exclusive items? Here you go the pictures!
We know that some fans have just visited our booth already, just to say that the newly revealed prototypes are not final yet and we are trying our best to fine tune them to make them look as realistic as possible! Stay tuned with us for the new items update! For those fans who haven’t joined us yet, come join us now! The show will be till this Sunday!
See you there!

Marvel Universe Iron Man 2 Mighty Mugg Special Edition
(Ages 6 and up; Approximate Retail Price $15.99; Available through HasbroToyShop.com, Booth #3329 at San Diego Comic-Con)
Hasbro worked closely with TONY STARK and STARK INDUSTRIES to create the ultra-hip vinyl collectible MARVEL UNIVERSE IRON MAN 2 MIGHTY MUGG figure. Styled after IRON MAN’s Mark VI armored suit, the figure features a retractable visor on its helmet and is highlighted in premium commemorative foil packaging.
In addition to being available at Comic-Con, a limited number will be available on HasbroToyShop.com after the convention.

Here we go – it’s the last Ask Matty session before SDCC – and I’m afraid we didn’t do all that well getting the guys at Mattel to spill any surprises. Because of the show, there won’t be another Q&A until August 15th. Send in your questions, because I’m doing a lousy job at it!
1) Since this is the last Q&A before San Diego Comic-Con, can you give us some hints about the new figures that you plan to show from each line (without giving too much away, of course)?
For MOTUC, much like last year, we’ll be showing items through the first 2011 figures. For GB Classics, we will show about three to four new figures. For DCUC, we will have at least two waves of six-inch figures as well as some surprises. For JLU, we will show at least the remaining 2010 product, which includes the “skipped over” wave of JLU singles including show accurate Red Tornado and OMAC.
The conspiracy theorists will tell you that it’s all part of a big scheme, but sandwiched between Tuesday’s four minute sellout of the Masters of the Universe Classics Orko pre-order for San Diego Comic-Con goers and today’s sale day that includes the MOTUC Count Marzo (and the DC Universe Classics Wave 13 set), Mattel has announced details of its subscription plans for 2011 that will allow you to avoid all of the online ordering woes.
And good news for Ghostbusters fans – there’s a new sub plan for you, too – Club Ecto-1. If you happen to collect both lines, you’ll save on shipping.
Personally, I’ll have to see what’s announced for Ghostbusters at the Mattel panel at San Diego Comic-Con, as I’m not sure I want to be all-in on Ghostbusters. I have decided already that I’m all-in for Club Eternia. The subs go on sale on Wednesday 7/21, coinciding with the start of San Diego Comic-Con. The Mattel panel is on Friday, 7/23.
