Toy Fair 2016: Jakks Pacific Warcraft Movie Toys "Live" Images

As we creep closer to NY Toy Fair 2016, reports are coming in from every place you could imagine. It seems Jakks Pacific got their Warcraft movie toys out to retail about 3 minutes after we profiled them here on Idle Hands, and our friend Marvin Camua was nice enough to snap a pile of pictures for us. We feel pictures like this are important, as the official pictures are always going to show you the best possible image of toys, most likely hand painted by industry artists. It's not til these toys see mass production that we can REALLY see what we'll actually be able to buy on store shelves. With the Warcraft line, it's pretty much what we expected...

Legendary Pictures Revives Electra Woman and Dyna Girl

Remember Electra Woman and Dyna Girl??!! Of course you don't. I'm 41 and I barely remember them. It seems name recognition means little to the juggernaut production company Legendary who brought you tiny little films like GODZILLA...and Pacific Rim...and Batman. I know next to nothing about this project, other than it is happening (as per a tip from Legendary's Twitter account) and a quicky video introducing the two young ladies playing the pivitol rolls...

Godzilla 2014....Revealed!...Again! Toys from JAKKS, Bandai, NECA & Diamond Select

Yes, anticlimactic..we know..and so do the toy companies...but it is an unfortunate situation. Back ...probably further than January, the toy world gave us the first, full, clear-as-all-get-out look at the giant lizard we know and loved in his somewhat tweaked look for the 2014 film from Legendary Pictures. Did this reveal cause executives to shout "The game is up! Since people have seen the toy already, let's show off the lot and bring more excitement to everyone's Toy Fair coverage!"?? Nope. Instead, Legendary held on tight through a plush and book reveal, more giant JAKKS figure reveals and finally an onslaught of in package shots of Bandai's line before someone at sales said "screw it" and spilled the lot to retailers online seconds before they turned up in stores. Keep in mind, you could buy them as of at least 3 weeks now...which makes it the perfect moment to reveal the JAKKS Giant Size Godzilla!! ...Timing is everything.

The Official Main Trailer for Pacific Rim

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
 
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes "Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures' Pacific Rim."  In theaters July 12th.
