Toy Fair 2015: NECA Debuts Interstellar, Batman, Pacific Rim & More

Our UK Toy Fair coverage is far from over, but before we get back into that ocean of awesome, we've got some new business to take care of! Nuremberg Toy Fair is ever the enigma with 99% of the show locked down to press (even though they give out press badges), but we've still got some goods to unveil. AND UNVEIL WE SHALL! Let's take a moment for...NECA appreciation. Any follower of Idle Hands on any one of our social media spots..or even my own personal pages, knows I can't help but gush over most of NECA's toy offerings. As this crew adds new articulation to every release, their sculpting and painting game remains as strong as ever and most importantly, they wear their fandom out on their sleeves for all to see, so we can't help but hope for them to get all the licenses we love...because they love what we love! Who continued the Masters of the Universe line when Mattel abandoned it? NECA. Who made a Balrog toy to battle our Toy Biz Lord of the Rings figures? NECA did. I start the slow clap for my New Jersey toy making family...and as you join me, we'll check out some new stuff in a quick but exciting sneak peek!

A Teaser Trailer for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar

I couldn't be more excited for a non-Bat Man Christopher Nolan movie if I tried. Say what you will about his handling of your favorite, broody Dark Knight...the man can craft a beautiful, gripping film. We don't know much about Interstellar at the moment beyond it being "based on the scientific theories and script treatment of renowned theoretical physicist, Kip Thorne" (via Interstellar-Movie.com), the title treatment and this new teaser, but that's already enough to make me anxious for more. Hit the jump and check out the teaser trailer!
