Despite not being able to share these cool items with you, there were still plenty other new items at the
Diamond Select Toys booth that we could! Follow the link above to have a look for yourself.
FACTORY ENTERTAINMENT
The Factory Entertainment Booth
One booth that we'd like to point out with very special interest in our 2013 San Diego Comic-Con coverage is the

G.I. Joe display wasn't as large as we were expecting, and all the pieces displayed were
shown during Toy Fair. That said, the figures being offered up soon are all really cool. If the Kwinn hasn't won your heart over, the classic Cobra Commander and Storm Shadow are sure to do the trick.

When it was shown to us at Toy Fair, it was already very cool, but some collectors had concerns, and Mattel addressed all of them with the new version. Follow the above link to check it out, but be forewarned, you may drool on your keyboard...
