Play Fair NY Day 1 | Play Fair NY Day 2

The litlgeeks get to do some really neat stuff because they live really close to New York City, and …because they are the litlgeeks.  Neat stuff happens in NYC all the time!  Like this year’s Play Fair!  Going into it’s second year, Play Fair aims to celebrate all things play!  Families and kids of all ages are welcome to attend in New York City this weekend 11/4 and 11/5.  There are four sessions, 2 per day, 4 hours each, and you can pick up tickets HERE!    But, what’s really going on at Play Fair?  Well, tonight was the preview night, the litlgeeks got to check it out, so now, you can watch our video, and make a plan for your tomorrow!! Or, if you are super far away from New York City, and can’t make it, you can watch, and be a little less bummed you couldn’t make it!  You should make it though, there is so much fun to be had!  Great companies like Hasbro, Spin Master, Cartoon Network, V-Tech, WowWee, K’Nex and more are at the show floor offering you great stuff to play with, so check it out!

Ben 10

Cartoon Network was on hand with the litlgeeks favorite stop, Ben 10!  They had a fun wheel that kids could spin to win a free mask…and the litlgeeks spun and spun.  On display though, some of the fantastic and really fun Ben 10 toys from Playmates and Cartoon Network!

Hasbro always brings out the big guns for any great toy show, and today was no different, a massive Play-Doh playground, and an even bigger NERF battle arena!  Something for litlgeeks and big geeks!

Marvel Legends Marvel Thor Ragnarok 2017 Wave: Odinson

Comic figure number two in this auspicious Thor Ragnarok wave…Odinson (Thor)…(Thor without the hammer…but he still has long hair).  Hasbro has done us an exceptional service with Thor figures.  One of my favorite Thor storylines ever, Godbomb, brought together several versions of Thor to fight off an all encompassing evil.  With Odinson, we get the last of the Thor’s from that run.  We got Old Man Thor with the metal arm, King Thor (thanks to the head swap BAF Odin), and now, Odinson.  Each is awesome, while being very definitely Thor.  We got a look at lefty Thor from this years SDCC exclusive Thor set, and..well…we never got hands on King Thor, but one day!  For now, Odinson…with two arms and an absolutely perfect jaw line.

The Good

  • The mold is the same as the SDCC set Thor, all articulation is the same, and fantastic.  
  • Cape also the same, looks great, just a different shade of red, a younger shade of red.
  • This Thor is shirted, vs the SDCC set, so no visible chest hair here.  Nice rich black coloring on his shirt.
  • Thor’s Axe (Jarnbjorn) features, tons of detail on a relatively small piece in the axe head.  Lots of pretty line work here.

The Bad

  • Loving this figure, even the hair sits better than on the SDCC version.  

The Rest

At some point, I’d love to see Hasbro revisit the classic Thor in Legends 6″ scale, for now, the wavy blonde locks we have here will more than suffice to fill my default Thor display.  He’s a solid figure, the face sculpt is bananas, and he’s got the right bulk to be the best Thor.
