Ame-Comi Wonder Woman

Ame-Comi Wonder Woman, much more barbaric and warlike with that loin cloth. (click to enlarge)

It's been almost a year since I got myself an action figure. So, since I had the extra cash, I decided to buy one. At first, I tried looking for those cool vinyl toys on the net. However, since they're really cool and really rare, most of them are very expensive. So my search ended up with this awesome Wonder Woman toy from DC Direct.

The action figure is part of the Ame-Comi series, which are heavily influenced by anime or manga. I really like the toy. The design is still pretty much Wonder Woman. Except that the loin cloth makes her even more warrior-like. I like this one much better than the Ame-Comi Catwoman that I have.

DC Direct: Toy Fair 2009

Cover Girls of the DC Universe: Black Canary.

So what I posted yesterday about the Toy Fair 2009 was only the tip of the iceberg. Earlier today, I caught myself drooling over a lot of toy photographs captured from the fair, courtesy of IGN comics. I got a better glimpse this time and saw a lot of cool toys, from comics to animation action figures. Also, besides the standard fare, some gaming toys were featured too. NECA (Gears of War and Street Fighter) and McFarlane Toys (Halo and Guitar Hero), all of their figures were very detailed and exquisite. But, for me, DC Direct definitely stole the show.

When I saw the gallery of DC Direct, my salivary glands just went berserk. Their toys are just beautiful. I especially loved the Cover Girls of the DC Universe -they're to die for ($100 each), the Batman Black & White and the new series of Ame-Comi (specifically The Huntress and Batgirl). Their World of Warcraft figures also looked neat, and shouldn't be missed by any WoW fans.

On the down side, however, the mighty Hasbro, the toy company that filled my childhood with fun memories, has indeed tumbled down. It seems that all they can do these days is profit from nostalgia by rehashing their old toys. Even their Marvel Select looks pitiful. Marvel should ditch them and strike a deal with DC Direct. I don't know if that'll work. But it would be awesome if it does.

Toy Fair 2009

I wanted to attend the NYCC 09 and the Toy Fair 2009 in New York. But, due to work schedule, and lack of funds, I wasn't able too. It's a good thing that the dudes at Gizmodo was kind enough to put up a very tasty photo gallery of toys taken from the Toy Fair 2009. I'm telling you, those Watchmen action figures from DC Direct are definitely must haves. See here for yourself.
