Hot Toys Ten Year Anniversary Expo

It’s the ten year anniversary of Hot Toys, and to celebrate they held a celebration event in Tokyo over the past couple of days, including having a few exclusives for sale. I would have loved to go, but did the next best thing – find pics of the event online!

In addition to having a bunch of figures on display, Hot Toys announced some brand new licenses for 2011:

  • Captain America: The First Avenger
  • Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides
  • Metal Gear Solid
  • Sucker Punch
  • Batman (the 1989 movie)
  • Indiana Jones

Ringside Fest 2010 – Mattel Shows New WWE Figures

Not being a regular reader at WrestlingFigs.com, I didn’t know that they held a special event with Mattel’s WWE team this past weekend in New York City. But I did find some pictures of upcoming figures at the Mattel WWE and fan Jason Linnick’s Facebook pages. I’m particularly psyched to see the Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior, and Legends Series 5 – Akeem the African Dream, Macho Man Randy Savage, the Model Rick Martel, and Bam Bam Bigelow.

This weekend the Mattel WWE team went to NYC for Ringside Fest, the WWE collecting convention sponsored by Ringside Collectibles. We had a great time showing off new figures, talking face-to-face with collectors, and answering questions during the fan Q&A. We posted a few pictures below, but stay tuned to WrestlingFigs.com for continuing coverage this week.

New York Comic Con 2010 – Booth Babes

Yeah, I know that New York Comic Con was a couple of weekends ago, but you didn’t think that I’d go to a Comic Con and not take pictures of booth babes. Did you?

While there were definitely some very attractive cosplayers (and relatively few professional booth babes), NYCC still has a ways to go before it rivals San Diego Comic-Con in this regard. California Gurls and all that – you can make fun of me now for saying “Gurls.” I blame you, Snoop Dogg!
