Bandai at New York Toy Fair 2016

There is plenty of goodness coming from the land of the rising sun. Bandai were in full force at New York Toy Fair, bringing licensed products from every '80s baby's favorite franchises. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures by S.H. Figuarts, contrary to other reports, are coming to the West and are even up for pre-order and will run just under $65 each. Two new entries into the Nintendo line of S.H. Figuarts were also presented. Bowser and a Hammer Bro. are both in the words. I tend to like the Nintendo Nendoroids from Good Smile Company more than the super-articulated S.H. Figuarts, but the Hammer Bro. looks tight! Other franchises were represented, like Mega Man, Star Wars, and Studio Ghibli. Oh, and some high end simulacra of Freddy Mercury and Bruce Lee commemorated the heroes in plastic form. Check out the gallery below for highlights!

    Despite Hollywood's best efforts, the TMNT franchise is still standing. And the designer toy world is definitely getting their fill. Kidrobot, The Loyal Subjects, and now Unbox Industry have all put their own twists on the iconic reptiles.

    I don't often venture outside of The Block. But when I do, I make my way to Bandai's booth.

    While Toy Tokyo mostly clogged The Block with lines for the latest cookie cutter Fuko Pop! figure, they did at least bring four amazing pieces to NYCC.
