Toy Fair 2008 - Pound Puppies and Warbles

Coverage of Toy Fair 2008 continues with these additional galleries!

• Dark Horse - Image update.
• Pound Puppies
• Warbles - Laser etched warrior marbles!

Now, gentle reader, I certainly had a Pound Puppy as a kid, and I feel that it's an even bet that you did too. Nearly everyone I ever mention these plush figures to smiles and fondly remembers the one they used to have. Something about this line really made a lasting impression on people, and that it was still representing at Toy Fair was a real testament to it's longevity.


The dancing 6' puppy was pretty cool, and they had some neat figures just ready to be 'adopted' on display in their booth.
 
Also visited on the final day of the show was a small start-up company developing a product called 'Warbles'. They are laser etched marbles, each featuring a highly detailed and well designed figure in the center. In a smart move, they have written bios and backstories for each figure, and structured a competition system for use in their world. There is also a website with special content that you can access through codes that come with each of the Warbles, allowing for further battles and competition online. It seems like a neat product, and I hope that they get noticed!


Finally we have an 11 image update to the Dark Horse gallery. Check out some more of their fantastic products, like this Spirit statue - what great feeling of motion that piece captures!


Ok folks, a short posting for now, but stay tuned for galleries from Diamond Select, Underground Toys and K'Nex!
