The Toys Are As Fair As Can Be

Today was the Toy Fair and Toy Story was the main show! The anticipated soon-to-be-classic had much to be seen. Among the many toys:

From Thinkway comes an expansion to the Toy Story Collection. This "definitive" set of movie accurate toys will now include a strawberry scented Lots-O’-Huggin’-Bear with 45 different sayings, an updated Buzz Lightyear with Spanish/Toy Story 3 phrases and Bullseye.

Mattel will bring role playing items to the table such as a the Buzz Lightyear Ultra Blast arm cuff and Wing Pack. Also from Mattel are the Action Links sets coming soon. They’re basically connectable scenes from the films that are perfect for Toy Story mini figures. Mattel will also offer Toy Story versions of Barbie, Ken, Magic 8 Ball, Hot Wheels, Tyco, and Matchbox cross-branded products.

Toy Story has been a first for LEGO recently and they’re doing it big for the series’ third installment. Upcoming sets include Toy Story 3 Western Train and Lotso’s Dump Truck building block packages. It’s also of note that LEGO created a bust of Lasseter which was shown at the event.

Let’s not forget Hasbro’s finest — Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, which can be dressed up as Woody, Buzz or Jessie. Hasbro will also be releasing an electronic Potato Head with TS3 phrases. As for tie in games, Yahtzee, Memory, Operation, Trouble, Connect Four, Chutes and Ladders, Buckaroo and more will be available in Toy Story editions!

Last but not least is another major player: JAKKS Pacific bringing you Toy Story Mania Plug and Play games and Halloween costumes. Speaking of clothes, Disney Consumer Products will also be releasing apparel, accessories, adult collectibles, books and more, some exclusive to Disney Store.

Time for miscellanea — Fischer-Price will bring forth a TS3 themed Chatter Phone and Poof-Slinky will re-release its iconic Slinky Dog product. Now that we’re talking tie-ins, check out Toy Story 3: The Video Game which is now up for pre-order on all platforms; featuring story and free roaming game modes!

Anticipating 2010: Part 2

Let's continue on our search for the viable films in the second part of the trilogy posts dealing with the new year.

The A-Team: Remake an 80's Show is as common as the cold. But this one looks actually *GASP* good. Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton Rampage Jackson and Sharlto Copley are in the cast and it looks like a fun combo. Some great action and lines might make this a great action film. (June 11)

Toy Story 3: The most wanted film of the year, this brilliant gem follows two fo the greatet films of all-time. With a sad premise, fun new characters and some secrets yet to be revealed, Toy Story 3 is gonna rule whether you want it to or not. (June 18)

Grown Ups; Adam Sandler is always fun, but pair him with Kevin James and Chris Rock and David Spade AND Rob Sdhneider and you have what looks like the knock-out comedy of the summer like The Hangover was. (June 25)

Despicable Me: I was all ready to say Boo to this...but I can't resist a film that gives Chuck Jones homages and the animation looks clever. I love Steve Carrel so this could be the surprise flick of the summer. (July 9)

Inception: Christopher Nolan follows the matserpiece The Dark Knight with this odd thriller. No one knwos what it is about or even what it may end up being. But I keep getting intrigued by the little things we see and I trust Nolan a lot so I'll give it a try. (July 16)

Guardians of Ga'Hoole: Zach Snyder is a visionay. Watchmen was an abomination story-wise but it's visuals....wow. Whenever I read about this film I think of when Wes Anderson made Fantastic Mr. Fox (another movie ased on an animal book). Zach may have the same impact here when he directs this owl fable. (September 24)

The Social Network: David Fincher is about to bring us the man behind...Facebook! Well put that with Flash of Genuis as another odd inventor film, but I just can't get the film out of my head. I think this might work after all. (October 1)

The final part will be published this weekend.

Gentleman, Pricklepants Has Arrived

Above is the new character from Toy Story 3, Mr. PricklePants. Think he's cute already? Well he's voiced by Timothy Dalton! Too adorable for words.

SYS

52 x 72 Foot Tall Toys

Toy Story 3 shall arrive bigger than you thought! Toy Sotry 3 will be in IMAX 3D, continuing Disney's relationship with IMAX that will continue with Alice In Wonderland & Tron Legacy. I'll be sure to see Buzz flying through the IMAX cinema come June 2010!

Toy Story 3 Image and Villain

Above is a new Toy Story 3 image. Very nice looking.

Also, we have our villain for Toy Story 3! I do not have 100% on this, but if we're going by book summary's on Amazon.com and a Lego set that shows this characterr throwing Woody and Ham into a trash compacter, then I'm betting he is the bad guy! His name is Lotso, or Lots-O'-Love Teddy Bear and he is voiced by Ned Beatty. Very nice.

Toy Stories In HD
