I'm a long time 3.75" fan so while I can see the cool factor in 6" lines like Game of Thrones/ Marvel/ DC/ Star Wars Black Series etc, they're not for me.

But there were some cool things.
Star Wars Rebels: Phantom. Love the mini-rig look of this little ship.
Mattel's DC Multiverse wave 2: Ok, we saw them last year and I'm probably the only one that's looking forward to these. But Mattel, would it kill you to put out a 3.75" Joker?
Funko's retro figures. So many figures! I love that loads of previously neglected licences are getting some love here, building up a universe of retro figures. Unfortunately while some look really cool (Rocketeer/ Pulp Fiction) some of them are truly dire (Buffy). Hopefully there's time to tweek those sculpts before release.
The Twilight Zone retro figures- Possibly not something I'll buy but I love that they exist and look forward to more. If they do colour versions I might bite.

The disappointments:
Star Wars: Rebels. The actual figures don't look great. I don't need super posable but coupled with the cartoony look, these guys look very cheap and nasty.
Guardians of the Galaxy. Ok, they looked 3.75" but I think they're actually 2.5". First of all, what's that about? That's not compatible with ANYTHING. And secondly, they look so cheap. Worse than the things you get a Poundland. Really devalues the brand.

Biggest surprise of Toyfair- The Big Bang Theory figures. I'm way more excited about these than I should be. If anyone knows me for my downloadable Doctor Who dioramas, I've been making a downloadable Sheldon/Leonard apartment. Gawd 'elp me, I'm hooked!!
