From big guns like Mattel and Hasbro to niche companies like Funko and Kotobukiya — here’s what else got us all excited at Toy Fair 2015!
Here are all our previous reports: 13 Quick Thoughts. DC Collectibles. Diamond Select Toys. NECA/WizKids. Bif Bang Pow! NJ Croce. And on 2/20, we’ll declare our annual overall Toy Fair Winner!
In the meantime, here’s a company-by-company breakdown of other cool stuff we dug. Thanks again to G.D. Kennedy for his help!

HASBRO
Full disclosure: I had to bail on the full tour because of a scheduling conflict, but during the Marvel and Star Wars press presentations, these are what caught my fancy the most:
Walmart Hulkbuster role-play set
Amazon 4-pack. Ruffalo!
3 3/4 Ant-Man with Flying Ant. This looks GREAT!
6-inch scale Ant-Man … with scaled down Ant-Man and ant
Entertainment Earth Titan Hawkeye
Spider-Man Legends Misty Knight

They showed very little Star Wars, but this Bladebuilders thing is pretty wizard. I mean rad.

MATTEL
Some of this stuff was shown in the past but it’s nice getting another look. Great that Batgirl‘s coming and that Batcomputer playset looks like it’ll be a blast. Plus, a Batcycle. And more Multiverse!
Three-pack’s coming!
