Toy Fair 2014: LEGO - Star Wars, DC, Ultra Agents
|

Today: Toy Fair 2014 - LEGO Star Wars, which brings more Yoda Chronicles toys, classic movie stuff, plus a new batch of stuff based on Rebels.
Me, I like the Rebels stuff.
Next: Toy Fair 2014 - LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A Turtle Sub, new Sewer Lair, and some smaller sets are on deck. Also, there's a Leatherhead figure if you're into that sort of thing, and who isn't?
And finally: Toy Fair 2014 - LEGO Ultra Agents. We had Agents a few years ago, so this is like... moreso. Big fans, awesome suits, and insane pink hair. It's pretty fantastic.
More tomorrow!

Unpleasant Grimlock Mold Returning to Production
|
|
  Via the Faces Book: Toy R Us - Grimlock (Evolution 2-Pack: G1/1984 x AoE/2014). The movie Grimlock looks pretty neat and is seemingly the Voyager-class mold - the "classic" Grimlock is the Energon-era mold, which came out in 2004 and couldn't be forgotten quickly enough. It was originally half of a boxed set with Swoop in which the toys could combine into a larger, even more ungainly toy. The deco of this version is actually a lot nicer than his ancestor, but it would probably take a massive blow to my head to purchase it again.
This new two-pack will be exclusive to Toys R Us, and may be there for some time. Just go give your various Classics, Pretenders, G1, Masterpiece, and other Grimlock toys a hug. Given the sizes of these two toys, expect a $35-$50 price point on this one.
While no photos have leaked, SKUs have gotten out indicating there may be many other sets just like this one. It's not unthinkable that Grimlock's Energon companion Swoop would be packaged with Strafe, after all.

Toy Fair 2014: LEGO - City, DC, Ninjago
|
|
More Toy Fair? Sure, why not. Today: Toy Fair 2014 - LEGO City, which brings the return of the orange Arctic sets for the first time in nearly 10 years. If you love snow gear and polar bears, it's an exciting time to be alive.
Of course, the normal sets are also still on deck.
Next: Toy Fair 2014 - LEGO DC Comics. There's a new crawling robot creature covered in guns and targets, which you can shoot. It's pretty cool! DK is putting out a book with darts.
And finally: Toy Fair 2014 - LEGO Ninjago. Not a ton of new stuff here, but there should be a few new-to-you things including a cute little robot girl figure.
More tomorrow!

Final Outer Space Men Pre-Orders, Accessories Live
|
|
  Via the Outer Space Men News blog: The Last Drop Ever? New Outer Space Men Infinity Figure Pre-Orders, Chrome Accessories Now. Based on comments from the Four Horsemen it appears unlikely there's much left to this license, so enjoy it while you can and grab those last 6 fully-painted figures and/or the silver accessory pack.
The accessories are in stock now, while the figures are expected to be in stock on or before March 15, 2014. Which isn't very long at all.

More Power Lords Live Now
|
|
  Shop Four Horsemen has Five New Power Lords Figures Up for Ordering Right Now. The premium-priced Barlowe Concept Ggripptogg from FanExtasy is available, as are a pair of Ggrapptikks and a pair of Power Soldiers.
More fully-painted versions of these molds are in the works, but I will say that the mid-tier deco on the Ggrapptikks and Ggripptogg looks pretty decent.

Toy Fair 2014: Hasbro Star Wars, Transformers
|
|
Now live - Toy Fair 2014: Hasbro Star Wars, with a whole mess of Star Wars: Rebels toys are en route. 12-inch, 3 3/4-inch, and smaller 2-inch army men are all coming as are undead lines based on the classic movies. There are some real shining gems in there, but there's also a lot of well-trodden ground.

Check out Toy Fair 2014: Hasbro Transformers, with Generations being rebranded to a style, rather than a character selection. There will be Age of Extinction figures in it, so collectors may enjoy a 1984 cab movie Optimus Prime. Classic fans - especially fans of the IDW comic series - will be treated to a new giant Jetfire, a larger Sky-Byte, and even a new Tankor. It's really going to be a good year for this stuff.
More coverage is coming.
