Toy's Fair in love & war
As I claw my way back into the land of the living, I've been following the New York Toy Fair online, as I do every year. I'm actually quite happy that there's less and less stuff I want these days.
I think there's a bigger editorial to be written on the way McFarlane Toys is rapidly becoming irrelevent, but I'll save that for when I have more energy. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures of the new WWF/WWE wrestling lines due out later in the year. Plenty for old-school fans to enjoy.
Doink the Clown (I wouldn't call him a "Classic," but whatever. Can a Gobblygooker figure be far behind?)
ECW-era Rhino and WCW-era Ric Flair
ECW Stevie Richards and Four Horsemen Chris Benoit
Old-school tie-dye D-Von Dudley
WCW-era "Lionheart" Chris Jericho
ECW Rey Mysterio and classic Mullet-headed Eddie Guerrero
WCW Halloween Havoc Rey Mysterio in "Phantom" attire
History of the Undertaker 3-pack
Classic tag-team champions 3-pack, featuring Tito Santana, Nikolai Volkoff, and Marty Jannetty (this should really be called the "crappy sidekicks" pack, since every one of those three had a vastly superior partner -- Rick Martel, The Iron Sheik, and Shawn Michaels, respectively).
Classic champions 3-pack, featuring Bret Hart, The Rock, and Shawn Michaels.
CONTEMPORARY WWE:
New more articulated figure body, with ball-jointed hips, double-jointed kness, and mid-torso bend; possibly more added later.
Face-Flippin' fighters, with heads that flip out from inside the torso, done in a more urban vinyl style
Paul Heyman (who has NEVER, EVER been that thin) and Heidenreich
