Well, now that toyfair is over...

What line are you most looking forward to for the year? For me it's Minimates, closely followed by Series 25 (which should be showing up any time now)

Of everything I saw, I was most impressed by Toy Biz's Marvel lines.

Mattel and Hasbro were really disappointing. It really says something when Mattel doesn't even have any 6" Batman figures for 2004 on display... and this is supposedly an "important" license for Mattel.

This does not bode well.

I've heard that the Four Horsemen aren't doing anymore sculpts for the 6" Batman line, so there goes my interest (if it's true).

As far as McFarlane goes, I haven't seen jack shit from the company, so I can't even say with any degree of accuracy what I'm looking forward to in 2004.

What a fucking disappointment.

Spawn 25, Reborn II, and Spawn 26 probably top my list for 'anticipation'. I've been hoping for the
cover to StDA i.01 since 2000. So that figure alone has got me pretty jazzed. The Music stuff
is working for me too. Can't wait to see Hendrix II and Motley Crue. The Alien / Predator stuff is looking to be great..Ah hell, I guess what I'm saying is I'm looking forward to a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, as I'm going to be
broke in 2004 [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

Minimates all the way... especially after seeing the Thanos minmate [img]eek.gif[/img] .... I can't wait to have that bad boy.

I have a torn approach to what tops the list. I love most of he stuff coming out from TMP (S25, S26, RE, Ozzy, Monsters 3, Motley Crue), but also the Spider-man and Marvel stuff from Toybix has got me stoked this year - a lot of favorite characters in the upcoming lines!

After seeing how DEAD ON BALLS ACCURATE the McFarlane sculptors and painters were with Spawn series 24 and 25.....

...How can you be anything but COMPLETELY STOKED about Series 26????

Are you afraid that the employees are suddenly going to become blind and crippled from a horrible big-wheel accident??? [img]confused.gif[/img]

People have been bugging for new angels, Curse, and Tremor for YEARS... they're gonna fuckin ROCK!

[pairadocs]

I still wish that whole Gaiman fiasco never happened and we could get a new ANGELA.

Oh well, a man can dream. In the meantime, I'm pretty happy with what's coming! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

And if there is an ED-209 sitting on my desk by the end of this year, paint me super happy! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

[Street Worm]

I got a big list, and most everything's at the top of it.

I'll go with Toxic Toons outta Mezco-just because it was such a big surprise.....never would have guessed type of thing.

Can't wait to see the Munsters outta Majestic.
Since I haven't seen any pics, they can't take first place.

TS-3 has big time potential for being my favorite of the year, too.

Oh, and........... [img]wink.gif[/img]

I hope Gaiman gets a world-record case of gonorreah from a whore named "Angela".

It would be a fitting (and karmically ballanced) end to the story. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm just sick of seeing Classic Covers and Al Simmons universe figures.

Hooray for the people that love and collect them, but I'd much rather see two or three Dark Ages/Alternate Realities lines per year.

The lack of balance is frustrating, I guess. If McF released a Classic Covers line, then a Dark Ages line, and alternated them, it wouldn't be such a big deal.

People like myself-- who don't give a shit about the Al Simmons Spawn characters-- don't have very much to get psyched about, as far as the Spawn line is concerned.

I'm withholding judgment on the TS3 and Monsters 3 lines until we actually see some good, clear pictures. You'd fgure McFarlane wouldn't be so secretive about their in-house lines.
