Now you can enjoy Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film, The Hateful Eight at home. I saw it twice in theaters, once to experience the 70mm roadshow, and once again a few days later. This was easily my favorite film of 2015. Click below to read my review of the film and the bonus features on the disc. And check out my tribute, The Playful 8, created with playmobil toys.

I have 300 pictures to show you from my two Mattel visits. The first event was just for collectables, featuring Suicide Squad and Batman vs Superman, as well as Halo and of course Masters of the Universe and Thundercats. Then the next day I visited the blogger breakfast where we got to see the items for smaller children, including the action figure 3D printer Thingmaker, Hot Wheels, Thomas, Monster High, and more.
Check back soon for my guided tour, but for the time being, check out my pics below.
NECA blew us away with new and exciting figures from Aliens, Rocky, Hateful 8, Predator, Gremlins, Pacific Rim and more.
Ash is back in the new show Ash vs Evil Dead. I love all the dioramas that the artists at NECA put together to help “make the sale” at Toy Fair each year. They always expertly capture the scene from the movies, but showcase the figures expertly. These figures will in stores in March!

So many wonders to behold at the DST booth this year. My favorite is the opening Shakespeare bust from stately Wayne Manner. It even functions as a bank, to help you on your path to becoming a millionaire playboy. Once you pick this up, check out our plans to build your own batphone. Retailing at under $200, you’ll get your every Penny’s worth. Ok, I’m sorry.
Lots of cool new Back to the Future mini-mates are headed your way this year. Check out our gallery for pics of the 1950’s Western Marty, 1980’s track-suit Biff, 1950’s peeping tom George, and more. But we really liked these much larger, and slightly animated Vinimates. This Doc and Marty look fantastic, but also check out the X-Files, Aliens, Ghostbusters, and Predator ones as well. These are 4″ high, made of vinyl, and should cost you about $10 a pop.
Don’t stop there, keep reading and check out our gallery below.

We love Modarri in our house, check out the recent Podcast my son put together reviewing his favorite cars. They’re fun to drive with just one finger, but mixing and matching the pieces is half the fun. Wait till he gets a load of all the new sets they’re bring out this year! Click below for more.
The one showroom that reminds me of the glory days of Toy Fair (this is my 14th) is the DC Collectables offering. I love all the sculpts and accessories, and the depth of characters they represent. Of course the big star this year was Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad. We looooove this Harley. They also had new figures from Batman the Animated Series, and Batman: Arkham Night.
Tons of glorious pics in our gallery below, check it out!
Holy cow, the coolest thing we’ve seen at Toy Fair so far is this BB-8. It’s got a remote control, it does voice commands, it’ll even follow you around. It’s just around 16″, and it’ll retail under $200. We’re looking forward to the fall.
Spin Master had tons of fun new toys to show us including Spy Gear, Air Hogs and Tech Deck!

AwesomeCon was last weekend and we’re still catching our breath. This year we were able to check it out on Friday and Sunday and we scored a mighty haul and got loads of pics of awesome cosplay. I loved this Ajax (Francis) and Johnny Bravo. We have a write-up and a huge gallery below. Check it out!
