This book uses the two-year development process of the Dino-Riders action figure line by Tyco Toys as a springboard for discussion on history, advertising strategies, politics, and the sobering economic reality of seasonal sales cycles in the toy industry.

[Update 9:00 AM EST] Added overnight are Marvel Bishoujo Spider-Gwen and DC Bishoujo Harley Quinn version 2! Stay tuned for more updates as the weekend goes on!
Comic-Con is here, which means Kotobukiya is bringing out the big guns. The company has enjoyed the success of the wildly popular Bishoujo line, which will be adding on new figures as it tends to do as at these shows. The newest of the new is Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear Solid, which opens a completely new franchise for the line. Go ahead and put your future MGS wants in the comments.
As for the already established lines, Mass Effect lives on with Bishoujo Tali. I know that will be an interesting release, but hopefully there won't be any blowback this time around. Speaking of blowback, Tekken Bishoujo is adding Lucky Chloe, which will in no way seem out of place in its lineup, despite what some message boards would claim. Street Fighter will be adding Ibuki, though sadly there's only an outline for now. Lastly, there is Lady Deadpool for the Marvel line, which will finally put an end to "They're going to release Lady Deadpool anytime now," discussions.
There's no DC Bishoujo as of yet, but I'm sure that one will come up during the weekend. Take a gander at the sketches and put in whether these satisfy you for now, you're still wanting X to be released, or when the Meryl MGS Bishoujo is coming out.

Hot Toys has been popular for quite some time and this year is no exception at SDCC. Given that we have a new Star Wars film on the very near horizon, Hot Toys is looking to take full advantage of the license. Their hit of the show so far is the 1/6 Millenium Falcon cockpit set, which offers the full detail that we're used to from the company. In addition, there's also on hand 1/6 versions of Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker in both Episode IV outfits, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Boba Fett. If you're looking really big, there's also a 1/6 TIE Fighter and pilot on display as well.
For the rest of the lineup and reasons why you'll need a second mortgage, hit the jump!
