More Ghostbusters Exclusives Coming to Toys 'R' Us!
From DST: In just a few short weeks, fans of Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum will be able to take their Ghostbusters Minimates collections to an entirely new level thanks to the latest batch of exclusive Ghostbusters Minimates only available from Toys 'R' Us! This new assortment will deliver eight new Minimates and complete two sets started in previous waves as well as four new villains - including Vigo himself! The first two-pack will feature the brilliant Egon Spengler in his Ghostbusters 2 uniform (the last missing Ghostbuster in that style) paired with the Titanic Ghost seen captaining the ill-fated luxury liner in the second Ghostbusters film. Two exclusive sets will complete the Courtroom set started with last year's Peter Venkman by pairing Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler with the dreaded Scolari Brothers - Nunzio and Tony. The final set combines two of our favorite Ghostbusters 2 characters: the near-unstoppable Vigo the Carpathian and Peter Venkman in his "World of the Psychic" ensemble - which of course includes his signature hairless cat! All four of these exclusive sets will be available in Toys 'R' Us stores nationwide and serve as perfect compliments to the previously-released Ghostbusters Minimates sets currently available in comic and specialty stores. Look for these two-packs in the weeks to come and be sure to check out the latest updates from DiamondSelectToys.com and ArtAsylum.com as the Ghostbusters Minimate universe expands to new heights!

AFC Toy Fair 2010 Coverage: Toynami

Oh. My. God. That was our reaction as we entered the Toynami showroom. You have to see it to believe it Figure Fans. I don't think the pictures will do it justice though, as seeing it in person was incredible. What you ask? How about a Cinemaquette of Christopher Reeve as Superman, a GIANT Batmobile and Batplane from the Tim Burton Batman movies, the return of "Shogun Warriors" scaled robots (can't officially call them Shoguns), Naruto and Futurama. And that's just a few of the insane collectibles coming from Toynami. There's more from Batman, Terminator, Voltron (they make up two of the Shogun scaled figures) and other cool lines that only Toynami can deliver. It's all ready to blow your mind in the AFC Toynami Toy Fair Gallery.
 
AFC Toy Fair 2010 Coverage: NECA & Wizkids

Harry Potter, Terminator 2, Jonah Hex, Clash of the Titans, Street Fighter, BioShock, Gears of War, Nightmare on Elm Street. All of these incredible lines can be found at NECA's showroom. What a lineup! The NECA showroom also gave us a look at the Wizkids Heroclix figures as well along with a TON of merchandise and collectibles for Twilight, Nightmare Before Christmas, A Christmas Story and others. It's all waitin' for ya in the NECA & Wizkids Toy Fair Gallery.
 
AFC Toy Fair 2010 Coverage: DC Direct

If you're a DC Comics fan then you've come to the right place. Although the DC Direct showroom was downsized a bit, it didn't stop them from showing off a boat load of products. Not only are there a ton of DC Comics collectibles to see, DC Unlimited showcases, Warcraft, True Blood and much more! We do apologize for some of the photo quality of the DCD images. The showroom was quite crowded and the lighting was a bit challenging. It made for an interesting shoot. Check out the AFC DC Direct Toy Fair Gallery.
