Musings from the God of Cities

being the sneaky fella that i am, i managed to score a pass to the 2007 American International Toy Fair. the highlight was obvs seeing the d.c. figures (marvel didn't have anything particularly interesting out. there, i said it.) it was an "all business" kinda place, so i couldn't mess around too hard, taking pictures and whatnot, but it was still really cool seeing everything... and i unleashed the ninja and took some sneaky pictures of the d.c. figures. some of the pictures came out kinda polly-wolly crappy 'cause i was being all sneaktacular. i think i probably could have been less sneaky about it, since the d.c. folks seemed more relaxed than any of the other folks there. anywho, here are pictures of the new d.c. comics/d.c. direct action figures, busts and other ephemera such as


batman statues and a batwoman bust


zatanna "women of the d.c. universe" bust


busty busts (l. to r. big barda, power girl, wonder girl donna troy)


superwoman, batwoman and bizarro from loeb and mcguiness's "vengence" storyline in "superman batman"


more mcguiness bat-people goodness

it was a touch... ironic? that the two pictures i took that came out the best least worst were of some fey elseworlds flash i'm not familiar with and...


...the new aquaman, arthur joseph curry. at least you can see the variant blue beetle figure.



my favorite thing at the toy fair had to be dr. fate's helmet of nabu and amulet of anubis. they were so realisitc, i was afraid to put it on, lest it turn me to water.

oh, and tobey mcguire was promoting the new spiderman movie there. i tried to get his autograph, but he just hopped in a cab, which is when i snapped this picture of him.

he really has put on a lot of weight.

a few more pictures from the toy fair can be found here on my flickr page.
