The 2013 International Toy Fair brought 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 last year, you can find all the Star Wars coverage on Rebelscum.


ACTIVISION

Activision / Skylanders Booth
One of the highlights of our day was getting to attend a sneak-peek showing of the upcoming Skylanders Swap Force video game, where we were able to get all of the key features and additional information for Activisions' latest video game, scheduled to see a release in Fall 2013.


BLUEFIN DISTRIBUTION

The BlueFin Distribution Booth Part 1
As promised, here is the second gallery of the BlueFin Distribution booth.


The BlueFin Distribution Booth Part 2
Right on the heels of our extensive Pinkie Cooper and the Jet Set Pets gallery from The Bridge Direct, we are able to provide further information on this up and coming line.


BRIDGE DIRECT

The Bridge Direct's The Hobbit Display
As our 2013 International Toy Fair coverage continues we head over to one of the show rooms we were most anxious to see, and we were not disappointed! Follow this link to check out the new figures in The Bridge Direct's Hobbit action figure collection and stay tuned for additional galleries showing off their other products. They confessed to us that they have the rights to produce figures from The Lord Of The Rings, and if The Hobbit continues to preform well, we will see the line continue past the new films to give us a much more expansive collection of Middle Earth toys! As you can guess, we are totally in love with this collection. Let us know what you think of this line of toys.


Introducing The Bridge Direct's Pinkie Cooper
As our 2013 International Toy Fair coverage continues, we take a peek at The Bridge Direct's next success story, to give you your first look at the Pinkie Cooper doll collection. This new line designed by Bratz creator Carter Bryant, is sure to be well received by both little girls and collectors.


The Bridge Direct Pinkie Cooper
Right on the heels of our extensive Pinkie Cooper and the Jet Set Pets gallery from The Bridge Direct, we are able to provide further information on this up and coming line.


More From The Bridge Direct's Showroom
We continue our 2013 International Toy Fair coverage with another gallery from The Bridge Direct showroom, which includes additional images showing off Pinkie Cooper's interchangeable hair (ears?) feature, as well as everything not yet shown of their other products. Do note, the Strawberry Shortcake items on display were place holders. They used off the shelf Hasbro pieces to illustrate the scope of their upcoming line. Any images you find elsewhere are not actual products being created by The Bridge Direct. Follow the link above for a closer look.

DC COLLECTIBLES

DC Collectibles Booth Part 1
Right on the heels of our "Creepiest Toy of the Year" award given to DC Collectibles' Titan Joker deluxe action figure, we knew the DC Collectibles booth was going to have a ton of great items on display.


DC Collectibles Booth Part 2
We were fortunate enough to see many upcoming Man Of Steel products while in attendance at the 2013 International Toy Fair, but only DC Collectibles, as a part of Warner Bros, were able to let us show them to you, and what they had on display was spectacular!

THE FOUR HORSEMEN

The Four Horsemen Party
This gallery was shot using an iPhone while attending the Four Horsemen party on East 2nd Ave Saturday evening after the Hasbro event. On display was the Outer Space Men collection, a pile of related customs, the new (stunning) Power Lords prototypes, and a Cake Boss cake commemorating the reinvention of one of the coolest, yet forgotten, toy lines of the 1980's. The original Power Lords were produced in 1983 by Revell, and while they didn't last long, those of us that dug them really dug them. Follow the link above to check them out.
