Nubia's Nonsense: ToyFair

Hey Nubians,

March 2016 is going to be a SUPER month for Target!

(I'm bummed I missed NY Toy Fair but I was lucky enough to get a pass for my brother who went and covered the event.)

It's so fascinating to me that after years of hearing about women's struggle in the comic book industry and attending panels all about it, the last 2 years or so have brought along such magnificent change. I can finally see women getting more and more appreciate and recognition in what was considered a 'mans profession'. The best part of all is that it appears to be consistent change that doesn't seem like it'll slow down anytime soon. YAY! Very inspirational and it just goes to show you anything is possible if you try hard enough.

More girl power is about to hit the shelves at Target next month, March 2016 with a line of 'DC Super Hero Girls' action figures and a clothing line. The line will feature some of the most popular ladies of DC Comics... Supergirl, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Bumble Bee.

My brother sent me these photographs he took below from NY Toy Fair where they were giving everyone an exclusive sneak peek.

I am so happy to see Target staying on top of Pop Culture trends and encouraging young ladies to feel extra super and powerful. Creating a message where from a young age girls can feel equal, out spoken, strong, and mighty! The t-shirts have awesome encouraging words on them such as COURAGE, HEART, BRAINS, SUPER, STRONG, EPIC, BRAVE.

Now they real question is.... Can I fit in a large? hehe.

Taking A Stroll Through Mezco Toyz...

Seeing awesome figures from two of my favorite shows next to each other seems like a sweet way to start this post. Here we have Breaking Bad and a little peek of Sons Of Anarchy.

The boyz over at Mezco Toyz are also hoping to release Tygra in October of this year! Thundercat fans rejoice! It's what you've all been waiting for.

Isn't he a beaut?

What's Up Doc? How rad is this Bugs Bunny? Many people had heard about a Mezco Toyz deal with Warner Bros and now you have a sneak peek.

This Annabelle figure is creepy as hell... nice detail and all... moving on.

This was one of my favorites. I love a good classic and this Chucky doll is giving me life. The yellow box gives me nostalgia over the actual "Good Guy" doll box seen in the horror films.

All hail Chucky! and Charles Lee Ray too.

Living Dead Dolls are all about Creature from the Black Lagoon. You can pre-order this bad boy HERE.

Another very sweet treat is that Mezco presented The Living Dead Dolls Series 29: The Nameless Ones. The kind of dolls that will haunt your dreams and come to life on your shelves just how we like them! These dolls will be available May 2015 and are definitely on the wish list. You can pre-order HERE.

If you had to pick just one of the figures above, which would it be?

How pretty are these ladies?

Funko Toys has revealed more from it's Vinyl Vixen collection with Vinyl Sugar. We now have the frisky Catwoman and Poison Ivy. For anyone interested, The Harley Quinn Vinyl Vixen was available at Hot Topic (for $29.50) as a pre-exclusive but unfortunately it seems to be out of stock, womp, womp!

I'm always crushing on the ladies of DC Comics. I'm usually a sucker for Harley Quinn but my favorite out of these figures is Poison Ivy. Her eyes are seductive and I love the special touch the rose in her hand adds to the figure. I'm smitten with the pin-up flair these bad girls have.

The Poison Ivy and Catwoman Vinyl Vixen Figures will be released in March.

Which one of these gorgeous gals is your favorite?

Ok are these Todd McFarlane The Walking Dead toys and building sets insane or what?!

All AMC The Walking Dead fans take a breathe. Todd McFarlane has presented you with an early Christmas. He has some really cool shit displayed at the New York Toy Fair 2015 right about now. From cellblocks to boiler rooms to the Governor's truck to Walker Barriers. The detail going on in these figures and sets alone is enough to make a damn zombie want to come back to life and mess around with them.

I haven't kept up with The Walking Dead as much as I should have (I'm not currently up-to-date on the series) however, I can say one of my favorite things about these toys and sets is that I really feel they show raw emotion. I find myself starring at them almost as if they were a scene from the show... like I'm replaying a clip over and over again if that makes any sense.

There's some war, brutality, blood and violence going on in these displays. Anything to survive another day and get away from these damn walkers.

How sick is this?

They have so much you can pick from for you to build your own The Walking Dead world right in your living room if you choose. Build a ton of collectibles with Walkers getting their brains blown out, FUN STUFF KIDS.

What do you think about these figures? Hope you've added a few to your gift list. I have tons of friends that would literally die (~~and maybe become a walker~~) for these.

Just a quick post to tell you Funko x Vinyl Sugar "Dorbz" is the cutest thing ever!

Since I am a social media manager and a girly girl who constantly creates words, I'm going to assume “Dorbz” is short for “Adorbs” which is short for "Adorable" (takes deep breath). The collection features licensed characters from the DC and Marvel universes in their old school get-ups. I can't wait to get my hand on some of these. I think one of my favorite details is the eyes... It makes them look like they're smiling or giggling.

Which one of these is you favorite?

Guys, you're totally teasing me here!

Seeing this wall empty had us all like

Where are the NECA toys Home Alone sculpts? We're all curious. I read a few lucky fans got a sneak peek. I mean, you could have at least left a little accessory laying around :(

NECA says fans who got a sneak peek were blown away by the portraits and the A++ accessories too. Everything sounds so promising and there's a lot of excitement and chit-chat on the interwebs about this... After all, Home Alone is an absolute classic and an insanely loved holiday movie. I don't think I know one single person who doesn't watch Home Alone during the holidays. We all adore Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) and the McCallister Clan. We even enjoy watching Harry Lime (Joe Pesci) and Marv Merchants (Daniel Stern)

NECA tweeted that they're releasing the figures this holiday for the Home Alone 25th anniversary.
