Intriguing Glimpses Of Toyetic Coolosity From The New York Toy Fair!! TRANSFORMERS!! Terminators!! A Sweeet Enterprise!! More!!

Published at:  Feb 11, 2007 8:17:05 PM CST



Merrick again...



davidjr.com posted some video grabbed within the confines of the New York City Toy Fair.

You'll get a sense of what toy shelves will be like when invaded by the TRANSFORMERS movie, as well as glimpsing one of the most kickass Enterprise replicas I think I've ever seen (please tell me this isn't one of those $9 million thingies - it is, isn't it? I long for it...)

Also on deck: some STAR WARS stuff (a really nice Millennium Flacon repro), some HARRY POTTER things, some TERMINATOR replicas, etc. Nothing Earth shattering...but pretty fun all the same (except for the creepy psycho killer/stalker voice identifying the site). TAKE A LOOK!

    Gangsta! By the way, as a long time Transformers fan I must admit these designs are very disappointing. I'm not following the logic? They're a departure from the original designs. Yet they also don't seem to "friendly" or accessible (to new fans in particular). I don't know. I'm growing more optimistic for the movie (based on the last trailer) but I'm still not feeling the designs of the characters. We'll see if I warm up to them. Peace.

    Transformers movie haters

    by diablo77

    *YAWN*

    Weve heard it all before.. . . The movie's been made now. If you dont like it the designs, then dont go see the movie, but PLEASE quit yer bitching and go and play with your Geewun toys. its SO tedious seeing you guys constantly hating on it.

    weve had all the arguments before, so its not even worth dredging them up again. Yea yea - flames on optimus = burn michael bay in hell, but Optimus gotta eat in case he gets fugglejucked.

    whatever.

    find something new to pick on. its a multi million dollar global franchise that really is not going to grind to a halt if you dont go and see the movie. plenty of people will, and then you'll be pissed cos you missed the opportunity to see a kick ass movie with live action giant robots battling the bejeezus out of each other.

    accept it or find a new property to hate on., :)

    Why you dont have to wait for release to criticize TF

    by industrykiller!

    We have seen the designs. They are awful. We have read the script that was leaked online and we know is close to the shooting script. Its even worse than the designs. We know the director has proven himself a hack time and time again. So why exactly must one wait until the movie comes out to criticize the film? We know exactly what its going to be. If you go around screaming "hater" its only because you are insecure in your own point of view on something and people who make fun of it make you feel inferior. Here's a hint: it's probably because you are.

    by allpowerfulwizardofoz

    Am I a Micheal Bay fan? No not really. Actually not at all. But he may be the right guy for this movie. The only thing that he could do to fuck that movie up is do what he did with Pearl Harbor and insert a cheesy fucking love story into it. If he does that then I too will have to say "Damn you Micheal Bay!". If he sticks to blunt ass kicking action which he is a good at then Transformers may be the movie to beat this Summer. The toys looks cool too. I am excited for it. Fuck it.

    by bendersshinyass

    Toys are cool, and so are the new transformer designs. Anyone who still can't get past the changes/enhancements needs to go do some personal study of a) the original cartoons blatant ignorance of physical transformation b) the sheer difference in the actual toys compared to their animated counterparts & c) the actual integrity that has gone into this new production. We're not getting Alien Vs. predator here. we're getting spielberg and bay. Get excited. Anyone remember machine men? As much as i loved Transformers, I always thought the animated machine men transformed better.
