Plenty of people know I’m a toy fiend. I’ve collected a fair number of them over the years — everything from Godzilla to Futurama to The Muppets to Puppet Master — and I am always looking out for exciting new product.
Continuing my coverage of Toy Fair 2010 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, this photo gallery journeys deeper into what I discovered when I attended this year’s convention on Monday. As always, there was plenty of visual stimulation to be found at Toy Fair.

...and figures that can be taken apart limb my limb
and reassembled in this character creator.

The Ben 10 franchise, also handled by Bandai, has the same clever idea.
