Toy Fair 2008 reports are rolling in from all over. And OMG so much stuff I must have!

First, the really good news - the Starbuck action figures does not look like total ass! There are new images of her and the rest of the upcoming line at Cool Toy Review.

I think I'm going to pass on the Razor figures. Not really a big fan of the Pegasus crew and the Gina Six doesn't look very good. Its like she has a totally different face mold than the current Sixes, which seems silly!

I am a bit concerned about how the Cylon is standing. I assume this means he has some balance problems. You'd think they would have made a stand for him.

New Caprica Sharon (the first Sharon in the series) looks like poo right now. Her neck is far too wide. Something is off with Dualla's face and I cant quite place it. I think it is too round. Other than that she looks okay. The likeness on Three/D'anna Biers is really good though.

I have been trying to resist the Might Muggs figures as they are adorable but large. But I think this next wave of Star Wars figures and the new Indiana Jones figures will break me. I mean, LOOK AT INDY AND HIS DAD! And Leia with her little round buns and Yoda with his Yodaness! Just adorable!

Titanium Die Cast Indy being dragged by a truck! Hehe. That's just too amusing. Adventures Heroes are still too cute and I still must have them.

Now, I wonder when any of these figures will actually hit the shelves...

Actually, I saw the figure in the Toy Fair photos. I mean, it's not like it's a Heath Ledger action figure that comes with a bottle of pills, it just happens to be a character he played. Don't really think it was news worthy but I guess everything is on the internet. ;)

yeah, I don't have a real problem with it, but it seems a little unsettling because there was all this talk, right after his death when everyone was speculating, about how that role might have pushed him over the edge or something. There were clips of him talking about how intense it was and how it was consuming him and he couldn't sleep, followed by clips of Jack Nicholson saying how he had warned him, or some such thing. So even if none of that is true, the figure seems a little creepier for that reason. More so than, say, a gay cowboy figure. Hey- do they make the gay cowboy figures? I would totally buy those for a friend of mine..
