I've done minor Toy Fair coverage in my old doll Livejournal in years past, so I'm going to continue that trend and try to up the content for this blog.
I do not like to post other people's pictures, so my coverage will mostly be links to pictures.
One of the best sources of Toy Fair news and photos is the Idle Hands Blog Flickr:

They take some excellent photos. Other coverage sources I will mention as we go along, but this is going to be one of my main resources. A lot of these photos are from the recent UK Toy Fair.
Teen Titans Go:

I haven't watched all of this show, but what I've seen is cute and it's how I got to know Starfire, Beast Boy and others that have appeared at least in the background if not otherwise in DC Superhero Girls. These mini figures are adorable and I'll likely buy Jinx, who's my fave design from the show.
Care Bears:

I love Just Play's Care Bears, but I think it's a giant misstep to give them all those glittery giant blue eyes. They look weird. I will probably get Daydream Bear, the purpley one with the Saturn-ringed heart, because I like her design. The pink one with the sun heart is Shine Bright and the blue musical bear is Heartsong. I love new characters, but these new eyes just take away a lot of their personality. I'm not sure how long I'll collect this line if these eyes are the new norm. And where is poor Birthday Bear? He always gets forgotten.
Fash'ems:

DC Superhero Girls (once again leaving out Poison Ivy), My Little Pony and Disney Princess get new Fash'ems. I need those DCSG ones, because they are adorable!
