Toy Fair

TOP 5: GHOST RIDER SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE, 21 JUMP STREET Set Visit, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER Trailers, TRANSFORMERS 4, 2012 Toy Fair

I generally don’t like to check out extended clips of footage from films ahead of their release. Call me old fashioned but, similar to how I try and avoid cherry picking music singles before listening to the entire album, I like to think of records and movies as complete bodies of work. Of course, I say all of this only to preface breaking my own general rule. I implore you to watch the first 12 minutes of writer/director/actress Brit Marling’s Sound of My Voice. I did, I don’t regret a single moment of it, and now I can’t wait to check out the entire film as soon as possible.

All self-contradiction aside, in this week’s “Top 5″ installment you’ll find Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance interviews with talent like Nicolas Cage, Idris Elba, Johnny Whitworth, and directors Neveldine/Taylor, a recap of our 21 Jump Street set visit, trailers and a featurette for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Transformers 4 news, and Avengers, Star Wars, and G.I. Joe: Retaliation toy images from the 2012 Toy Fair. Check out a brief recap and link to each after the jump.

New AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Toy Images Give Us a Good Look at The Lizard

The 2012 Toy Fair is coming to a close, and we’ve already brought you a bevy of images from upcoming releases like The Avengers and G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Today a handful of toy images from The Amazing Spider-Man have hit the web, and they’re of particular interest because they give us a clear look at The Lizard. We got our first look at the villain in the most recent trailer for Marc Webb’s reboot, but he was shrouded in shadows and bathroom stalls. Having seen an extended shot of the CGI villain at Comic-Con, these toys are pretty damn close similar to the final product. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing depends, I think, on how the character is presented in the final film.

Hit the jump to check out the toy images. The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans. The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D on July 3rd.

Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, and D.J. Cotrona Play with Their G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Toy Likenesses

Over the weekend, we showed you some of the new G.I. Joe toys that will hit the market to coincide with the sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  However, those images lacked the novelty of the stars of the movie playing with the toy versions of themselves. Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, and director Jon Chu stopped by the G.I. Joe booth at Toy Fair, and we’ve got the pictures to prove it.

Bruce Willis, Channning Tatum, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, RZA, Joseph Mazzello, Elodie Yung, and Walton Goggins also star in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, scheduled for release on June 29, 2012.  Hit the jump for the images.

If you’re a toy collector, the beginning of February is always circled on your calendar.  That’s because every year, around this time, New York City hosts a huge toy show for industry insiders called Toy Fair.  During the convention, toy manufacturers from around the world display all their upcoming products and it’s a great preview of what’s to come later in the year.

Just a little while ago, I posted tons of Avengers movie toys and G.I. Joe: Retaliation toys.  Now I’ve got a crazy amount of Star Wars toys coming in 2012.  While I’ve tried to curtail giving George Lucas anymore of my money, I’ll admit some of the figures and vehicles look cool.  Hit the jump for all the images and the product descriptions and let me know in the comments if you still buy Star Wars toys or might this year.
