Toy Fair is a pretty difficult thing to cover, mostly because everyone is only interested in pics pics pics, and there's really not much to add. By the time UGO got a video crew down there, I realized that my worth as a reporter had fell down to "guy standing in the background looking somewhat interested." So, I tried to think of something different to add. Here's what I came up with... Toy Fair 2004: The Best of the Rest features ten toys seen at the Javits Convention Center that -- perhaps with good reason -- you probably won't see covered anywhere else. It's not just about Transformers and G.I. Joe at these events; there's more distributors than anyone could possibly visit in a span of three days, and while they're not peddling items that are going to see their stars shine in the aisles of Toys 'R' Us anytime soon, there was a lot of cool stuff. Shrunken heads! Inflatable ninjas! Carrot growing kits! Baboochi! Check it out.

Eep! Slashdot is a-comin’ here? Somebody hold me! -!?!- Not you, heeloyd. If we turn the lights off and stay quiet, they might think no-one is home. I’ll be under the sofa with the cat.
