As we all "patiently" await toy fare...it seems like there has been a slow down in product hitting the shelf....of any kind...mattel or hasbro.
I heard the 13th the new Toyfare mag is actually coming out, so I am going to try and pick it up since it is supoosed to reveal stuff about JLU before TOYfair...
Are anyof you guys looking forward to anything at Toyfair...anything you want to see or have rumored may be shown?

Toy Fair seems to grow more and more anticlimactic with each passing year. Mattel has gone from releasing too many repaints to releasing mostly repaints. (See: The Batman)
A lot of press about product is released ...whenever. Toy Fair allows for the media to come in, see things firsthand, take some lousy pictures (the lighting always sucks), and then post and talk about them on their websites.
It seems to me that things have evolved to the point where companies do press releases on their OWN websites & almost immediately let online vendors start taking preorders for their product. Is this a bad thing? No way! But the point I am trying to make here is that Toy Fair isn't exactly like running into Toys R Us circa 1985. Those times have come and gone.

If Sota pushes back the release date of street fighter figures again, I will be very upset. ..and release the bloody Animated toys already! ..but hey, I'm a patient person. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) EDIT: I apologize bear; I meant no offense. I happen to be a "cat person" myself, and I've dealt with the death of a few furry friends. I'm sorry for your loss.

If Sota pushes back the release date of street fighter figures again, I will eat a kitten.* I personally find that statement very offensive as I had to put my cat of 10 years to sleep a couple weeks ago. But I digress. I personally miss the days of my youth when I would go to the store and see for the first time a new Joe or Transformer. I remember buying 1 and looking at the back for hours (ten minutes) at what whould be released that entire next year. In my oppinion the internate and "waves" have kind of ruined it.
