Toy Fair 2010 Part 1:Old Familiar Faces

Returning to Toy Fair today, one of the first things I did was check out some of my favorite vendors from last year.

In that first post I spent a great deal of time talking about DANO2This link will open a new window and their line of safe (lead free, BPA free, PVC free, phthalate free), beautifully designed infant toys. I was very impressed by their work and their attitude, and was happy to see that not only were they back this year, but they have expanded their line to include Little Sky RidersThis link will open a new window, a group of aircraft that can ride on their own tracks or be used with standard wooden tracks. The Little Sky Riders are scheduled for release this July, and if you have a little one in your life I highly recommend you check them out.

Automoblox Hot Rod

Next up, Manhattan ToyThis link will open a new window brought along their newest additions to the Automoblox line, including their mini T900 Truck and Mini Hot Rods. I still like the unique combination of classic wood bodies and futuristic-looking plastic canopies, and it works surprisingly well on the classic cars.

M2 Machines Mustang

Speaking of classics, M2This link will open a new window gave some clues about what they had on deck for 1/24, which looked really promising. Their next release looks like it will be completing the trifecta of the American "Big Three," and it sounds like the number and variety of their 1/24 series will be increaing in general. As noted elsewhere in this site, I have been impressed by their work and look forward to adding more of their cars to my collection.

Maisto Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV

Last but not least, Maisto and BBurago had some new high-priced offerings in 1/24 scale, including the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV, BMW 3 Series Touring, Renault Megane Trophy, Dodge Viper RT 10SCR, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG, Nissan GT-R, and Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT1 Commemorative Edition. Like the M2 cars, I look forward to adding some of these to my collection.

Tomorrow: robots and slot cars!
