X-Entertainment | I’m home.

I’m home.

Well, I'm finally home. From Sunday till just a little while ago, I was in the city for the annual International Toy Fair, where companies from all around the world debut their upcoming playthings for the press and the buyers to see. There was a lot of really, really great stuff. I got to catch up on some other things right now, but check out the first small bit on coverage on UGO here. The best is definitely yet to come, as we had a team there to shoot videos of all the new toys. Wait till you see the Transformers crap. Oh, my new favorite company in the world is NECA -- check out my feature on 'em here. I'll be back in a bit...

They used to do lunchboxes and all that other kinda stuff…you know, Spencer’s specials. Now they’re moving forward and seriously kicking ass. Really, even if you include Hasbro, nobody’s showroom impressed me more.

Kill Bill toys!!! YEAH!!!

I second the enthusiasm on the Kill Bill toys… I want the lunchbox. Do you know if they are making a Gogo action figure? She was so cool.

All I can say is that from the way NECA was talking, anything that seems cool that would need a Tarantino OK-stamp to be created will be created in time. It seems like they’ve got a terrific relationship.

Gozer the Gozerian.

I want to see a toy made of a large and moving Torg.

And, come on, who doesn’t want to see their least favorite action figure roasted in the depths of the giant Slor!

As long as I get one of the new gigantic Unicron’s then I’m satisfied, the TF figures I’ve seen so far look unbelievable. Me Grimlock love new toys, more than petro-rabbits.

I know it’s been a really, really long time, but many of us would still like to see the non-winning Photog art if possible.

Vigo, Vigo, Vigo…You’ve been a bad MONKEY!

I’ve always wanted a GhostBusters sequel about someone opening a franchise in San Francisco, a town rife with spirit potential. That is one big ChocoDile.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 02/18/2004 3:23 PM

San Francisco. That’s where Vigo the Butch is from.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 02/18/2004 3:28 PM

They’re going to make an action figure of me ? Do I get a cut? If not I will cause destruction of biblical proportions ! Cats and dogs living together ! Mwaa ha ha !

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 02/18/2004 3:41 PM

Chestnuts roasted by Jared @ 02/18/2004 4:00 PM

It makes me mad as hell knowing that most probably none of these are going to find their way into this frozen hell I so affectionately call home, located conveniently in northern europe. holy f*ck.

Chestnuts roasted by iivuli @ 02/18/2004 4:01 PM

That skeletor figure is awesome!

Chestnuts roasted by heeloyd @ 02/18/2004 4:40 PM

That’s the first time I ever thought Clawful looked.. imposing and even a bit menacing.

Nice to see the companies finally realized that the ’80s was when all the good stuff was. :p

Man I’d kill for the special award, the fragile leg lamp! I want glowing sex to be at my window. That’s classic.

I’d also take one of those Michael Myers bobbleheads.

Chestnuts roasted by valarie @ 02/18/2004 5:13 PM

Whoa, you were at the toy fair. I’m totally printing out a picture of you and showing my friend’s mom, all "DId you see this man!?" and if she did, I will be forever envious.

Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 02/18/2004 5:20 PM
