Toy Fair 2015 has long come and gone, and I was there and took 700 pictures. But it took me so long to sort thrugh them that now no one cares. However, I didn’t see many people covering these awesome new Bandai toys based on Sailor Moon, One Piece, DBZ and other familiar anime and manga figures,. They’re part of the BanPresto line from Japan and they are all limited edition — in other words, once these are gone, they’re gone. Because they look so awesome, you’ll probably want to stock up on all of them. The smaller figures are the Gashapon vending machine capsule figures
I didn’t even recognize half of these characters, but I still want them all.
I don’t know that it’s true now, but Toyfare used to be a place where movie studios revealed the tie-in toys for major forthcoming films. Back in the 1980s I was editing a Sci-Fi movie magazine and we had someone go there and take pictures of the Dune toys, showing things the studio hadn’t revealed yet. We published the pictures and scooped everyone. Starlog was pissed because they never thought of doing that, and the studio never bothered us about it.
