[Harbingerboy]

Was excited to see some concept art for new BBP items in EE's Spring catalog today. Coming in July...Battlestar Galactica S1 (Android Sister & Starbuck) & S2 (Cylon Centurion & Apollo). Also SMDM S1 (Steve Austin & Bigfoot) & S2 (Oscar Goldman & Fembot). Looking forward to these in addition to TZ Cyclops & DW Tardis w/K-9!

Where is the toy fair exactly? In LA? How exciting!

[SciFiGuyLA]

Nope. Toy Fair is always in New York.

BREAKING TOY FAIR NEWS!

I just heard Jason on the SiriusXM show, Geek Time. He let slip a few pre-Toy Fair tidbits.

First, Bif Bang Pow will be making an Oscar Goldman briefcase lunch box. Inside will be a Dr. Rudy Wells figure. Here's the kicker: it will also include three heads corresponding to the three actors that portrayed the character.

Second, Maskatron is coming!

Third, he let the hosts of the show check out the Cylon prototype. One of the hosts asked about lights and sound chips and whatnot. Jason revealed several things. They are considering an accessory for the Cylon that will have voice clips and sound effects, but the Cylon wont have an embedded sound chip. They may do a deluxe version that has a light up, moving red eye. There will definitely be different versions, such as battle damaged and gold.

Universal Monsters

The Universal Monsters toy coming from Diamond Select look, dare we say, scary good. There’s a new wave of 8-inch Retro Cloth action figures including Creature from the Black Lagoon and Bride of Frankenstein, 7-inch figures the Invisible Man, the Phantom of the Opera and the Metaluna Mutant (from This Island Earth), and Minimates based on "The Mummy" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Here is the boxed set of "The Mummy" figures, with the Mummy, Princess Anck Es En Amon, the Mummy's Sarcophagus and the set-exclusive Helen Grosvenor.

Woo-hoo! Can't wait to see pictures.

YES!!! Gillman and Bride!!

Rudy Wells Lunchbox is epic.

And we FINALLY have a head for Taking of Pelham 123!
... Martin Balsam was in pretty much everything though. If the likeness is good it will be really awesome to have him do walk-on parts to the Starsky & Hutch shelf.

Alan Oppenheimer will be cool too - we get Ralph's dad for Happy Days extension, a KAOS scientist/double agent from Get Smart, and the head IT guy from West World!

PS - Gillman and Bride = Yisssssssssss!

I had a great time on the show! Ralph may be tweeting the picture of the Cylon soon - I told him that he could have the world-wide debut.

I met Jon, Jason, Ralph, JD - even Richard and Sal. For any Howard Stern fan, you can certainly appreciate my enthusiasm. Just had a blast doing the show. Thanks for listening!
