The 2017 International Toy Fair brings the Cool Toy Review team back to New York City to give you the complete rundown on all the major licensees of action figures and all-round cool toys. Just like in previous years, you can find all of the Star Wars coverage on Rebelscum.


BLUEFIN DISTRIBUTION



Bluefin Distribution's Tamashii Nations is celebrating their 10th anniversary with a world tour where fans from around the globe and pick up event exclusives - additional details on that can be found on their website. Other details and announcements from the booth: - They announced a new license at the show: Pacific Rim 2: Uprising. We can expect Jaegers and Kaiju in multiple product categories (including die-cast, which, let's face it, will be spectacular!). - While we've already got a Manga Realization Samurai Spiderman, this March will see the addition of a Koutetsu-Samurai Iron Man Mk-3. - The S.H.Figuarts Iron Man Mark VI will be shipping with a terrific Hall of Armor display. - The WWE Superstars S.H.Figuarts marches on with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H - the likeness on these guys are pretty incredible. It's amazing what can be done at that scale.


CRYPTOZOIC ENTERTAINMENT



Cryptozoic Entertainment continues to do some interesting things with their DC comics license - their booth held everything from superhero mini-shoes to tiki-style Batman characters.


DARK HORSE



Dark Horse was on hand at Toy Fair with some fantastic additions to their Game of Thrones line, including an actual Hodor doorstop!


DC COLLECTIBLES



Year after year, a favorite stop for us is the DC Collectibles booth and their 2017 International Toy Fair display was not a let down! Click the thumbnails above to have a closer look at everything they had on display!


DIAMOND SELECT TOYS



Pull up a chair and put up your feet. The next addition to our continuing coverage of the 2017 International Toy Fair is a massive gallery showing off everything we were permitted to shoot in the Diamond Select Toys booth. Click any of the thumbnails above to view the entire gallery!


FACTORY ENTERTAINMENT



Factory Entertainment displayed many new collectibles based on Marvel Studios, DC Comics, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Shawn Of The Dead, Harry Potter, and Game Of Thrones!


FOUR HORSEMEN STUDIOS



There aren't too many examples of better sculpts and paint applications to be found outside the Four Horsemen Studios booth. These guys have a great track record of delivering imaginative action figures year after year.


FUNKO



You'd be hard pressed to find a company with more licenses on display than Funko - everything from Rick and Morty to Twin Peaks and Stranger Things. Their Pop! lineup continues to expand with some pretty fantastic additions as well!


HASBRO


Hasbro Fan Media Event

Each year the Hasbro Media Event is a trove of information, and 2017 was no different! Here's the rundown:

Transformers
- Upcoming "Forged to Fight", a fighting game featuring the complete history/universe of Transformers, coming Spring 2017 to the app store and Google Play.
- Generations this year centers around the Prime Wars trilogy, with Titans Returns for 2017 and Power of the Primes in 2018.
- - Titan Masters Wave 2 Ramhorm, Roadburn, Cosmos, and Seaspray. Deluxe figs in Wave 2 Perceptor, Flintlock, Quake, Topspin, and Krok.
- - Titans Retrun Wave will feature Twintwist, Windblade / Scorchfire Murk / Octone, Hazard / Blitzwing, Dreadnaut / Overlord (jet mode, tank mode, and base mode!).
- - New Collection Packs Fastlane, Nautica, Laser Prime, and Quickswitch coming soon.
- - "Strength" set diecast Thunderwing, Pounce, Metalhawk, Tidal Wave, and Magnus Prime.
- - Trypticon was of course the Fan Vote Winner, and we finally got to see him! The presentation ran through the design process for this guy, from rough foam models, a kit-bashed version, a rough block model that had articulation, and technical drawings. It's an impressive year-long journey to the final figure. It transforms into one of the biggest bases they've created, while also featuring a spaceship mode. Trypticon eats Titan Masters, and watching the presenters feed him was pretty satisfying.
- Power of the Primes sneak peek:
- - Last month's "Who's Your Prime" vote resulted in Optimus Primal as the next Prime! Beastwars fans rejoice!
- Robots in Disguise (about to launch season three of the series):
- - Rescue Bots Optimus Prime Race Track trailer (huge!)
