Toy Fair 2017: Schleich on Marvel and DC Comics Heroes

When you think of the awesome product produced for your favorite comic books, you may not usually think of Schleich. Schleich makes you think of Smurfs...real talk. And dinosaurs maybe. And fairies attacking castles that cost a pretty penny but you had to have it because that castle was AMAZING. Don't judge. Never the less, Schleich made some noise in the last couple of years with the release of Justice League figures and then Batman V Superman: The Quest for Martha. Now Schleich continues their DC lovefest with further Justice League members, a certain Amazonian movie princess and some fairly obscure characters from the Marvel Universe. Who's this Speederman guy anyway...

Toy Fair 2017: Wonder Woman Readies for Retail Battles

Toy Fair 2017 coverage marches on with Wonder Woman movie merchandise from companies showing off innovative products a little beyond your normal, expected Barbie! We kicked things off with JAKKS' Big Figs around 10 days ago. Now we dive back into UK Toy Fair with Axel Manasco who scoured the show floor for Amazons and came back with the goods. LET'S GO TO WAR!!

Toy Fair 2017: JAKKS' Movie Wonder Woman in an Amazonian Scale

In a world where toy companies were trying to convince collectors, casual fans and kids alike that they preferred all their favorite plastics in as small a package as possible, most likely to maximize the 5 feet of real estate allotted to them at your local retailer, JAKKS Pacific said NOPE...we're going BIG. And they did..and went even bigger..and stopped at around 5 feet tall. Soon after, others joined in on the upscaling of pop culture icons, but we'll always remember when JAKKS made their mark.

Flash forward to TODAY. JAKKS have been fine tuning their Big Fig creation processes and with each release, the results get more and more impressive. If their Wonder Woman movie figures look half as good as these prototype pictures, you are going to see a lot of slack jawed DC Comics fans standing in the toy aisles.
