Briefly: New York Toy Fair is finally just a couple of days away, and though I’ll be thousands and thousands of miles away from the action, I can’t wait to see what all of my favourite toymakers have to show off.
One of this Summer’s biggest features, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft is set to have a huge presence at the convention, and Toy Fair attendees can expect to see new additions to the range from ThinkGeek, Just Funky and Funko. Additionally, master toy partner Jakks Pacific will host a special presentation of the Warcraft line ahead of its upcoming Toys “R” Us launch scheduled for March 2016.
Jamie Kampel, Vice President, Licensing & Partnerships at Legendary notes that “The Warcraft universe represents one of the most passionate fandoms in the world. The products and collectibles that will be on display at Toy Fair not only capture the essence of the magical worlds that inspired them but the sheer depth of the range creates must-have items for even the most discerning Warcraft fans.”
We’ve got a sweet sneak peak at one of the upcoming Funko Pop! (booth 4805) figures, as well as some of Jakk’s Pacific’s (booth 1135) gorgeous Warcraft figurines. At the show, Think Geek (booth 3015) will showcase a range that includes watches, wall décor, caps, backpacks and stylish loungewear inspired by the Warcraft film, Just Funky (booth 4963) will be showing off novelty tumblers, mugs, water bottles and decorative coasters perfect for the grog of your choosing.
Mostly, it sounds like a lot of stuff that I’d like to own. Take a look at a few of the images below, and be sure to let us know what you think! New York resident? Planning to head to the New York Toy Fair?
That’s a nice looking Pop!
