While the rest of us were banging away at Toy Fair 2010 coverage, Hasbro played host to their returning Iron Man ( Robert Downey Jr ) and their new Stretch Armstrong ( Taylor Lautner ). Hasbro shared these pics of the hijinks with us. You'll notice an interesting figure in RDJ's hands! That is a new 6 inch figure due for release later this year.
On today’s highly anticipated Season Finale of The Super Hero Squad Show at 7:30PM EST on Cartoon Network, Galactus arrives in Super Hero City with one intention - to devour the Earth! The fate of the planet hangs in the balance, and the Squaddies are the only ones who can save it. But when the city’s heroes prove powerless before Galactus’ omnipotence, they’ll stop at nothing to save the planet and the fate of man(and mutant)kind! In one last bid to assemble the Infinity Sword in an effort to defeat him, the Squad finds out they require cooperation from Dr. Doom in order to complete this task. Will Dr. Doom help them? Why is Reptil the key to saving the planet? And which Squaddie will make a tremendous sacrifice to save the Earth? Packed with guest character appearances from Pyro, Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Fin Fang Foom, Thanos, Firelord, Terrax, Enchantress, Fantastic Four, Nick Fury, Storm, Ant-Man, Wasp, Misty Knight and Luke Cage (to name a “few”), this episode will wrap up the action-packed and comedy-filled season, leaving the audience begging for more. Season 2, here we come!

From the fine folks who brought you Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters comes..something completely different! Coming June 8th, 2010... As in the original novel, our story follows two relationships: the tragic adulterous romance of Anna Karenina and Count Alexei Vronsky, and the much more hopeful marriage of Nikolai Levin and Kitty Shcherbatskaya. These four, yearning for true love, live in a steampunk-inspired 19th century of mechanical butlers, extraterrestrial-worshiping cults, and airborne debutante balls. Their passions alone would be enough to consume them—but when a secret cabal of radical scientific revolutionaries launches an attack on Russian high society’s high-tech lifestyle, our heroes must fight back with all their courage, all their gadgets, and all the power of a sleek new cyborg model like nothing the world has ever seen.
Filled with the same blend of romance, drama, and fantasy that made the first two Quirk Classics New York Times best sellers, Android Karenina brings this celebrated series into the exciting world of science fiction.
Hasbro is gearing up for Iron Man 2 with a broader range of toys which delve deeper into Tony Stark’s little corner of the Marvel universe with new armors, more exclusives, more different types of figures and vehicles..well..basically more of everything since they know you love the tin man!
Moving on to the second line inexplicably absent from the US Toy Fair 2010, we'll take a look at How to Train Your Dragon! I'm still amazed that for once, they showed something at UK and NOT in the US, so neither camps have live pics now. Odd. Anyway, this line has me excited, as any opportunity to give dragon toys to my nephew is a good day. He's got the Imaginext Dinosaurs and I just started him on Megabloks Dragons, so this line is PERFECT to segway him right into action figures! You'll notice some differences in my pics between items that look similar. Half the images came from Spin Master who sent the optimized press pics. The others were released by Walmart (the exclusive outlet for the line) and reflect the actual product. Click the images to super size. Here's the press...
From the Studio that brought you “Shrek”, “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda” comes “How to Train Your Dragon”. Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, this is the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges he and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.
