3 days to the start of International Toy Fair in New York. That means that all the companies are in full swing getting their booths and displays ready, built or finalized. They don’t have time for us, time for putting toy news out on the web, they are busy. And so are we, we’ll be doing some last minute site work to get ready for the show, we are getting our publishing schedule in place for next week, getting on planes to NYC, and mentally getting ready. But as far as breaking, exciting news? Tumbleweeds.
VeeBee and Hagop are on their way to the show. Robokillah is getting some last minute to do’s with the site completed. He and I are preparing for the week ahead as we get ready for server crashes; the rest of the staff stands on guard to help get missed content out to the front page and the mods are ready for the bitching moaning and whining, fighting and eventual banning that comes as a result of major Toy Show news. We stand ready.
There isn’t much to report today. 3A started their Iron Man sale at Bambalandstore.com, check it out, order one. I could mention the MattyCollector Sale or some other pre-order items that I could find, but really it’s dead out there. Otherwise head over to Fwoosh sponsors BigBadToyStore or DorkSideToys.com for something, anything. Or Amazon.com for some S.H. Monsterarts Aliens and Predator pre-orders.
All my news feeds were dead. Facebook, Twitter, storefronts. Sure sure there are items that I could force on you, but really nothing. In fact, outside of trailers for the following upcoming horror/slasher films Nurse3D, Lucky Bastard, and Zombeavers there isn’t much to report on. I did get some exciting info regarding Dark Souls 2 that will posted over on thecoinslot.com.
Of course there are these nuggets that showed up on my Facebook feed today. I fully expect a legal warning in my email by the end of the day today, but I’ll be damned if this doesn’t look awesome. A gun crazy raccoon and talking one-liner tree kicking ass and taking names. Sweet.
from what the guardians figures other then drax looking like the love child of slim goodbody and lobo . from the looks of the guardians of the galaxy figures . marvel may have a new hit and franchise on its hands. plus will hasbro sadly say the so called marvel wave with rescue and rogue and bulldozer and also jubilee wave are dead or still going to see the light of day.
Suspicion confirmed. It is just me. …and I wanted biscuits 🙁
Well, I give multiple effs about the Guardians of the Galaxy moviebut also want to know what’s going on with Rescue, Rogue, Blade, Moonstar, Bulldozer, and the Jubilee Wave.
One of the best comics from Marvel, about the last 10 years was Guardian of the Galaxy. It spawned from the renewal of all the cosmic-space thingy, full of awesoness that was annihilation… So I gues is just stevie…
stewie, you don’t like movies, that’s the problem. this looks like a blast whether you know the guardians of the galaxy from debut to now, or they’ve never blipped on your radar at all. hell, my wife’s excited about this, and she doesn’t know groot from matter eater lad.
bad geek. no biscuit.
Is it too much to ask that we get some news… any news… on Rescue and/or the Jubilee wave at Toy Fair this year? Hasbro? Bulldozer? Anything?
Also. Long time comic book fan. Collect DC and Marvel figures, movies, video games and used to collect comic books (not so much since New 52 and disney bought Marvel). But I just can not bring myself to give a poop about Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s not just because I don’t like Batista. It just makes me yawn. Starjammers? Cool. Guardians of Oa? Awesome. Operation: Galactic Storm? Hells yeah. A talking duck, even? I’m on board. But this movie? Zero effs given. It can’t just be me… is it?
