Talk:Toy Fair 2010

Should probably get a bigger link to this on the front page. The frontpage coding is currently beyond my skill level, or I'd do it myself. --ItsWalky 14:25, 11 February 2010 (EST)
- Is that good enough? --Jeysie 15:02, 11 February 2010 (EST)
- Good enough for me to edit, yeah. We're only going to be there the 13th, actually. A day before Toy Fair properly starts. --ItsWalky 15:13, 11 February 2010 (EST)

Siph and I (or just I, maybe) will do more when we get back to ... New Jersey. --ItsWalky 20:42, 13 February 2010 (EST)

I haven't seen these guys anywhere. Anyone want to point me to them?68.36.148.39 03:05, 14 February 2010 (EST)
Hailstorm
Is he Mindset or an ROTF homage of him? - Starfield 07:43, 14 February 2010 (EST)
- He's an ROTF character designed in homage to Mindset, a la Sea Spray. --Monzo 07:59, 14 February 2010 (EST)
- Well, this is where it gets sticky. The guys at Toy Fair maintain that the Adjectiveless "Transformers" line that has all these movie-esque designs is not just movie. It's supposed to be "everything," a "celebration of all things Transformers." Even though there's a "Generations" line that's differently packaged and has, uh, Drift and Thrust and Straxus in it. I'm not sure how much to take them at their word for this because they might use different terminology than the Wiki. For example, after they got done saying this, I asked if this meant that Sea Spray was, you know, the "same exact guy as G1 Sea Spray" and not just an homage. They said it was G1 Sea Spray, and that's why he was blockier than the other designs. (Even though he fights a Movie-esque guy in his bio.) So, uh. Yeah, yeah, we know that what Hasbro considers "the same character" is not what we consider "the same character." But the one Hasbro rep was very adamant that Sea Spray was actually Sea Spray. So it COULD actually be Mindset. And it COULD be really friggin' confusing for us to categorize. (I kind of don't want to even mention this so as to not destroy our fragile little minds, but the truth must be paramount.) --ItsWalky 08:45, 14 February 2010 (EST)
- Is Hailstorm really supposed to be an homage to Mindset? As in, someone from Hasbro actually said this? Because except for having four missile on their backs, they look almost nothing alike to me: [1]. At any rate, yeah, I'm not sure how literally we should take Hasbro PR-type guys on this sort of thing. "Hunt for the Decepticons" by all appearances is a continuation of the movie-verse, so if Seaspray's part of that, he'd be movie-verse, too, right? --KilMichaelMcC 13:11, 14 February 2010 (EST)
