Toy Fair 2018: Lanard Shows Off RAMPAGE Action Figures **UPDATED 1/13

About a month ago we were mulling over Toy Fair plans and someone from my crew asked if Lanard was going to have a booth now that they've dipped their plastic toes into the warm waters of licensed action figures. Of course, I had no idea, and while we did have new contacts at the company from our Kong coverage, what they did month to month was, sadly, still a mystery. Not having anything to add to the conversation, I offered the shot in the dark disguised as fact "Maybe they'll get in touch when they are ready to show off their Rampage toys!" The call went silent. "They are making Rampage toys? WHY AREN'T WE WRITING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW??!!" I explained I was kidding, but really, it was the obvious next step for the company. That said, I thought I'd throw the idea out there and see if anyone knew anything. I got a lot of people who wouldn't talk about anything and then one smirking "Paul...NO COMMENT." ...Which made me happy dance. Unfortunately, between then and now, Lanard was unreachable for confirmation and juicy monster pics, but they clawed their way onto the internets anyway, and today, we can show them off!
