I think she looks awesome. There's aslo a snowboarding girl which is decent looking. Imaginext usually has a poor showing at Toy Fair, but maybe this year will be different.ShesFantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933595350944635451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-26460242124252086602015-01-13T00:34:47.932-05:002015-01-13T00:34:47.932-05:00You're really making feel ashamed for not appl...You're really making feel ashamed for not applying for my Toy Fair Press Pass yet. I need to do that tomorrow. Just the thought of DCC and Funko booths fills me with adrenaline.<br /><br />Hasbro has really been winning me over lately (after years of subtle disappointments). What I'm most excited about is their Spider-Women. I'm absolutely floored that we are getting a Marvel Legends Mayday Spider-Girl and a surprise Ultimate Spider-Woman in the next couple months Followed by the regular Spider-Woman this summer. Add that to the Anya Spider-Girl and Black Cat from last year and we have a dizzying amount of Spider-Ladies. Plus I'm almost certain we'll see figures of Silk and Spider-Gwen before too long.<br /><br />Wrestling figures are very interesting for me. This is mostly because I don't know anything about wrestling so I'm buying them just because they're gorgeous inexpensive figures. I have a ton of them and I don't even have space to display them properly haha.ShesFantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933595350944635451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-50003579157166194012015-01-04T06:21:02.982-05:002015-01-04T06:21:02.982-05:00It has been a great year!

Really loved all the designs, though as mentioned Double Trouble has a poorly designed head. But all the rest - awesome.<br /><br />Also very happy to add some women to my nephew's Imaginext collection with Poison Ivy. He got Wonder Woman at the same time. Bring on Batgirl!<br /><br />And bring on Toy Fair!! :DArtistixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453324930397701520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-4000975725628488612015-01-03T17:49:41.623-05:002015-01-03T17:49:41.623-05:00That was an amazing retrospective on an amazing ye...That was an amazing retrospective on an amazing year for female action figures.<br /><br />It's kind of ironic given how bad things looked heading into the year. DC Universe Classics had finally been put out of it's misery, and both Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe crashed and burned at retail leaving a trail of unreleased figures in their wake. Sure there was Star Wars Black and MOTUC (or more specifically Princess of Power) but the former is sorely lacking in female characters to begin with, and the latter had become tedious thanks to high prices and Matty's hi-jinks.<br /><br />As it turned out, 2014 was full of surprises. Hasbro's strategy of slipping comic accurate Marvel Legends into the various movie lines actually worked. Marvel Universe, rebranded as Avengers Infinite, quickly pumped out four waves of figures. DC Collectibles not only put the "action" back into their New 52 action figures, but they released an onslaught of female characters, the likes of which I've never seen.<br /><br />Then there was this blog/review site called "She's Fantastic" that brought a couple of things to my attention. The first was that Funko waa producing some beautiful female figures in it's Game of Thrones and Magic the Gathering line. The second, which has had a profound affect on my collecting habits, is that wrestling figures don't suck anymore. Mattel was pumping out figures left and right, including Divas, that could stand toe to toe with any other 6" figure in my collection.<br /><br />Things are shaping up nicely for 2015 with Captain Marvel and the Scarlet Witch in the first wave of "Age of Ultiron" figures, Shanna coming soon in Marvel Infinte, a plethora of WWE Divas already confirmed (Alicia, Brie, Paige, Emma, Lana, Stephanie, and Summer), DCC gearing up again in the summer with New 52 Poison Ivy and Roller Derby Harley, and hopefully some more 6" female figures from Funko.<br /><br />Man, I cannot wait for Toy Fair!Xavion2004https://www.blogger.com/profile/09633261804629284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-31224577218291710242015-01-03T03:00:51.244-05:002015-01-03T03:00:51.244-05:00Yes, very long indeed!
