New York Toy Fair 2011 Recap ★ KOTOBUKIYA, Entertainment Earth, Google Android, Heroes In Action, MEZCO

I went to New York Toy Fair, the biggest toy industry convention, on February 14, 2011. I checked some unique new items like below.

ARGONAUT RESINS
Master sculptor Eric kindly explained about his projects. I think especially you may see these clear resin cats somewhere at once ?? Everything has been made by his hands !!!
KOTOBUKIYA
Did you know KOTOBUKIYA, Japanese collector toy maker, was originally famous for garage kits ?  I guess recently for US castomers, Star Wars or Marvel related statue series are pretty familiar. Then, I found these Troopers !!! 
100 Stormtroopers !!! They're made of plastic, the lower body is changeable two different type parts. Head and arms are articulated. Magnets on soles and stands on steel base. Thay're 2ps set package contains steel base. Series 2 will be Boba Fett, then Darth Vader will be the 3rd.
Entertainment Earth
EE is one of American prior distributors of marvelous high quality character items. At the convention, these TV related licence items were exhibited. Thank you Bianca for kind assistance and gift !!! We'll keep'n touch.
GANN memorials
Even though this plush toys maker's booth was compact, I wasn't able to just go through in front because of these sweet plush !!! It is first ever Google Android plush !!!
Pink droid and cupcake droid.
Toy Tokyo / HEROES IN ACTION
Lev, where the hell you were... Whatever, Heroes In Action has released these US presidents Mego like action figure series since last year. Zombie Kennedy and Dracula Obama... Well, the sculpting quality was really amazing at least.   
MEZCO
I think these new Mez-Itz line-up will be one of the hottest items this year in US market.  Especially 2 inch easy collectible mini series may be able to become mega hit long run series.
That's it !!! Bye guys !!!
