Toy Fair 2014: A Quick Peek at Mezco's Living Dead Dolls

Last night, in the wee hours of the morning (I love to say wee), we gave you a quick look at a portion of Mezco's 2014 lineup, highlighting the items we'd most likely see today at their Toy Fair preview and Sons of Anarchy product line premiere. Today, it's cold, it's icy, New York is breaking apart at the seams...and Galaxia Siandre braved all that chaos to bring back some excellent images...because she loves toys too!

Later today, we'll get a more extensive look at everything on display at Mezco HQ, but for now, let's shed a little light on a reveal we set loose in our 3am info blast. Previously dubbed "That Pumpkin Guy" or quite possibly well dressed Samhain from the Ghostbusters cartoon, we now know that the Living Dead Doll in question was none other than THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN!!! dun dun dun duuuun.

Toy Fair 2014: Mezco's Sons of Anarchy Action Figures & More

Late last night, as we watched a sheet of ice settle over New Jersey, New York, and all of Westros (because...you know...winter was coming...), we thought we'd give you a quick preview of the merchandise Mezco would be showing off at their headquarters today..come hell or high water! Today, Photographer and professional ninja bodyguard Galaxia Siandre is on the scene to deliver the goods. Let's kick things off with the much anticipated Sons of Anarchy line!

Later today, Mezco Toys will be drawing first blood on New York Toy Fair 2014...as they have been doing every year for the past few years....evil genius bastards. We just wanted to get a jump on the festivities and outline some of the excellent new toys they'll be showing.

Toy Fair 2014: Godzilla 43” Figure to Headline JAKKS’ Big Figures Line

With a nearly 60 year heritage, Godzilla and his trademark ‘roar’ are recognized throughout the world by fans of all ages. Leading U.S. toy and consumer products company, JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAKK), announced its partnership, under a licensing agreement, with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to bring this iconic and legendary figure to life with a line of large-scale figures and other toy products inspired by Warner Bros.

The line of Godzilla products by JAKKS is expected to include an Ultimate Large Scale Godzilla Figure with 12 points of articulation and a length of over 43” – one of the largest toys in Godzilla history. JAKKS Pacific’s licensing agreement with Warner Bros.

Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Trilogy, properties also brought to life in JAKKS’ Big Figures line.

Toy Fair 2014: LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Sets Reveal Details

The big winner for "most leaks before New York Toy Fair" this year is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 movie, hands down. We pitched our Turtle movie design descriptions at you after some retailers in parts unknown got a look. Then we got a peek at a horrible Rubie's Halloween costume that must have been received so badly, it was followed by some "official unofficial" leaks in an order which could only be seen as "official unofficial". We saw an intentionally small image showing the Turtles looking much like Turtles. The world breathed a sigh of relief as our report now had a visual to back it up. Then came a larger, far clearer image of Donatello, showing his thinner, techy look for the film. The world seemed to appreciate the differences. Last, we got a couple of angles on Shredder, who we mentioned had blades...EVERYWHERE..but still insisted on rocking a sleeveless outfit. That one went down...pretty much like we expected. The giant sized Meh was heard around the world. It wasn't until a banner popped up showing the Turtles with lips that the hate really began to spew onto the interwebs. We agree..lips on Turtles are silly...but not as silly as lips on giant robots. I'm looking at you movie Optimus Prime. Annnd that takes us to now, with UK Toy Fair in the bag and Nuremberg Toy Fair just having ended and once again, we look to our hero Thorsten for a report of that which we could not see...

Toy Fair 2014: Bandai's Godzilla Toys Taking Shape

As we dive head long into Toy Fair 2014, the name of the game is "cover as much ground as you can, beg to shoot everything and be happy with what you get." This goes double for Toy Fairs not held in the U.S., as most companies are saving their prime reveals for New York (2 weeks!) and other companies are under the watchful eye of their various licensors who dictate what merchandise they can show from the year's most anticipated films. Sometimes...we get one piece as a promise of more awesome to come. This method is quite effective. Sometimes, we get nothing, but are allowed to see what little the company has brought for buyers to place orders on, and when that is the situation, I count on my reporters to describe every little detail they can squeeze out of their over stimulated minds. I mean..it's TOY FAIR! I only send people who love toys to Toy Fair..and that being the case, I can only hope these fine folks remember their names and deliver clear pictures at day's end.

Toy Fair 2014: Fleshing Out the Transformers: Age of Extinction Story

We live in the future. It is a glorious future where one does not have to watch a football team get massacred in order to enjoy the true highlights of the evening..namely the half time show where Bruno Mars went all Boyz II Men on a wailing audience, the commercials, which were mostly more odd than good, and the new movie trailers, among which some of you got your first glimpse of the crazy, crazy, super damn crazy over complicated designs for the robots of Transformers 4. Let's start by watching the teaser 3 or 4 times, because it is Monday.

Toy Fair 2014: Hasbro My Little Pony Rainbow Power, Rainbow Rocks & More

OK this is going to be light on the info, as these new images were just dumped into my email with names attached and little else...and my pony expert is probably asleep somewhere. See, this is why you should always have a pony expert hotline or some such thing that makes magic wand sounds intermittently when you phone up. For my part, I'm just seeing a field of pastel colors and I try very, very hard to figure out what is new. Be that as it may, for die hard fans, some of this might be old news...and some of this might already be out..but know that I tried my best. Gosh darnit.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Super Bowl Teaser Spot

We go from Captain America at Marvel Studios over to Sony's teeny tiny film about a boy..and a spider...and how their genes made sweet, sweet love and birthed A HIDEOUS MUTANT FREAK WITH 8 ARMS AND COMPOUND EYES!!  No..wait..sorry...that is the Troma version. In the Marvel Comics version, young Peter Parker gets all sweaty and awakens with great power AND great responsibility..and a whole bunch of awesome superhero moves. This Sunday is game day, and with all those butts in the seats..do they really need a reason to make us non sporty geeks watch as well? Yes..yes they do...or..internet...cue trailer...

Captain America Winter Soldier Big Game Tease & Poster Art

We've got a teaser for the new Captain America: Winter Soldier game day trailer and we're going to show it....right.....meow.

Toy Fair 2014: A Grim Future For Hobbit Toys

Last year, around this time, we featured the first images of several new figures from The Hobbit toy line from The Bridge Direct for the second installment, The Desolation of Smaug. On display were all the remaining dwarves not yet produced (Nori, Ori, Dori, Gloin, Oin, Bifur, Bofur and Bombur), Radagast the Brown, Azog and his Warg and Bolg (pre-Weta last minute movie make over) for the 3 and 3 quarter inch scale. 6 inch figure additions included Azog and Radagast.

As December rolled around and the film came and went, those action figure release plans didn't exactly come to pass. So what did show up on retailer shelves? A 3 and 3 quarter inch Mirkwood Hero 5 Pack with only 1 new figure (Thranduil), a repackaged 6 inch Legolas and two new 6 inch figures of Azog and Radagast. That's 3 new figures for those keeping score...a little shy of the 19 figures released for the first film. Bolg squeaked by as part of the first film's 2 packs. No dwarves, no smaller scale Azog and absolutely no sign of the Smaug dragon the Bridge crew was encouraging us to shout for in February of 2013.
