Surprises and Favorites of Toyfair 2011

It is that time of year, when collectors get to drool over all of the new toys coming out later in the year. While there is a lot to see, here are few of my favorite releases coming this year.

First is that we finally get to see the final wave of Indiana Jones figures. After being clogged with KOTCS figures, the later waves were hard to find followed by the cancellation of the line, but Hasbro is releasing one last wave of figures as a SDCC exclusive. This is awesome news and I can't wait to pick these up.

Hasbro does it again this time with the new Sky Striker painted to look like Starscream from an episode of Transformers featuring Cobra Commander. While he doesn't transform, this is still and awesome little crossover, much like the earlier release of Matt Tracker. He comes with Cobra Commander, who comes with Megatron in gun mode. Very awesome indeed. This will be another SDCC exclusive.

Futurama lives!! Between the release dates slips and lack of info I was wondering if the line would live on, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the lineup this year looks pretty good. First the Deluxe figures of Lrrr and Morbo, who look rather large next to the normal figures. This will be followed by the Robot Mafia and Flexo later in the year. Great news for all of the Futurama fans out there.

Of course there was a lot of other cool stuff from Thundercats, MOTUC, Star Wars and much much more, but a few of the cooler things I saw around the net.
