Toy Fair 2017

[Jeff]

I guess we don't have a Toy Fair thread yet...

Hasbro's Entertainment Brand Preview Event at New York Toy Fair is on Saturday, February 18th.  We've seen a few things already (Rogue One 3.75" Wave 4; Black Series 3.75" Titanium figures; Black Series 6" Centerpiece Line).  It sounds like there will be some other things to reveal there as well (Black Series 6" 40th Anniversary).

[McMetal]

Would love to see at least one new thing revealed for the Rebels line but I'm not holding my breath.

[P-Siddy]

Besides the recent reveals, what would you like to see at Toy Fair?

• Bohdi Rook TBS 6"
• Bohdi Rook TBS SA
• Baze Malbus TBS SA
• Luke Skywalker TFA TBS SA*
• Chirrut Imwe TBS SA
• Tonnika Sisters 2 pack (they can be 5 PoA, I don't care any more.)
• A New Hope focused wave of moderately articulated figures

*Most likely will be held back until TLJ release which means it wouldn't be shown until closer to September

[Dave]

I'd love to see them round out the rest of The Ghost crew in the 6" line - Ezra, Hera, Chopper, & Zeb.  Thrawn or an Inquisitor would be cool too.

[Nicklab]

Well, they already confirmed Hera.  I think Ezra is the next logical choice, but the look of the character keeps changing with every season.  I would also really like Chopper in this line. 

As for the OT and Rogue One?  Bodhi and Saw would be cool, along with some Rebel troops.  And a Bespin Han Solo and a Gamorrean guard are also on my list.

[P-Siddy]

I wonder if we'll see Bespin Han and the Piggy Guard since they were "suggested" in Hasbro's survey, along with Bib Fortunate and who else?

It's nice they are doing Rebels characters.  I don't get them but it's nice they delve into the cartoon.

Also would love to see more bounty hunters released.

+1 - Where is the love for Zeb, Hasbro?  I'd want Chopper as a pack-in though versus a stand alone for $20.

Thrawn or an Inquisitor would be cool too.

I could pass on these - really just want the core crew.  I think an AT-DP Pilot would be at the top of my list if they're going to do others.

They should just do an exclusive three pack of Zeb, Chopper, and Ezra for $50.

[McMetal]

I'd be all over that like hot cakes!

[Nicklab]

The presentation has started.  I don't think anyone is livestreaming from inside the hall.  But I am reading along with #HasbroToyFair on Twitter.

[Darby]

Glad to see the Jawa finally. I like the EB set and stand a lot, but will be avoiding the repacks, except Leia and Obi-Wan since I don't have them at the moment. I bounced off the ceiling for all the great Marvel Legends stuff (GotG  ) and wish I could do the same for SW. I expect some gonzo stuff come Celebration and SDCC though.

[McMetal]

Jawa looked cool, have yet to see good quality pics of the DSC though.

Hoping for some kind of word on that TRU 6" exclusive that was rumored awhile back. And possible new 6" scale vehicles.

Sounds like the 6" AT-ACT Driver is now a Target exclusive...

I was away from the internet all day today so I'm still trying to catch up on everything that was shown/announced/etc. (60^o weekend in February in Minnesota?  Gotta get outside and enjoy the day while I can!  )

Toy Fair 3.75" Star Wars Update at GH by Adam Pawlus.

New Bespin Han Solo?  Strange, but I'll take it!

New Fett?  And another new TFA Rey?  Strange... sounds like these three will hit next Fall in some way or another.

[Brian]

I'm kind of catching up as well with all the day's announcements. Some neat stuff, but overall not too much incredibly exciting that we haven't already seen. I think my favorite new item shown is the Black Series Jawa. Always loved those guys. I love the idea of bringing back the vintage packaging for the 40th (although part of me would have liked to see them go the vintage 12" boxes route for the 6" line). That style will always hit home for mr, and having that EB stand with a complete set is awfully appealing.

That said, I don't know if it is smart for me to rebuy a bunch of these and I certainly don't have room for a big carded collection if they continued. I kept up with all the OT figures they did in the TVC line before, and those hit home a bit more. Once again, so little 3 3/4" news, which has become the norm anymore. I know we'll see more, but it really isn't the priority anymore. Star Wars is always my primary focus, but admittedly I'm usually more psyched for what is coming in the Marvel Legends line over the past couple years.
