litladventures: Play Fair NY 2017 Day 2!

Play Fair NY Day 1 | Play Fair NY Day 2

The litlgeeks got to visit Play Fair NY 2017, not once, but twice!  Today, they had a blast bringing you more action from the show floor.  If you are looking for something awesome to do on Sunday 11/6, the Javitz Center is the place to be in NYC!  We even found some lost footage from day one to share with you, so buckle up, enjoy the videos, and get your tickets HERE!  Keep on scrolling too!  We’ve included all the fun we had for day one below too!  To save you clicks, we are super courteous like that!

Day 2 Video!

Day 1 NERF Action!

For Day 2, we made sure to go back and visit our friends at Spin Master, it was awesome to see Soggy Doggy in action, and the hooman sized Paw Patrol Lookout Tower was amazing! It was also great to see the toy sized one too!  The litlgeeks took a swim in a lake of LEGO bricks, and  we managed to avoid them taking a swim in the World Record Attempt by Maddie for her Slime Glue!  All in all, day two was a ringing success, but I’m not sure what we are going to do with ourselves as we won’t be spending any more time getting on line over and over again for Ben 10 Masks!


Day 1!

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

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!

The Empire Saber Guild took time out of their busy schedule to school the litlgeeks and daddygeek in the art of light saber combat!

Every time we see K’Nex at a show, we are more and more impressed, the sets that you can build with are insane!

Marvel Legends Marvel Thor Ragnarok 2017 Wave: Jane Foster Thor

The third and final comic figure from this Thor Ragnarok Marvel Legends wave, Thor (Jane Foster).  Now, the Battle for Asgard SDCC box set was tough to get, and while the cost was basically the same cost per figure as going to the store and buying a Legends figure, maybe if you just wanted Jane Foster, cost was prohibitive.  Well, thanks to the magic of good thinking by Hasbro, they have made Jane Foster available to the general public in this Thor Ragnarok wave.  Good thing too, because if you are a fun, you’d be missing out otherwise.  This figure is absolutely worth a look!

The Good | The Bad The Rest | Availability  Photos

The Good

  • This yet again marvelous Jane Foster Thor figure is based on the same sculpt soup to nuts as the SDCC release.  Most of the high and low points are the same as the SDCC review, so forgive me for a little copy paste. 
  • No heels!  She can stand very well on her own.
  • Highly comic accurate helmet to boot.
  • Solid articulation allows whatever Thor-esque poses you need.
  • Intricate design work is present all over the figure, but stand out specifically on her waist cloth, emblazoned with the T.  The etching / gold on her helmet is perfect!
  • Tons of line work that you might not notice unless you look close, helmet, breast plate, most of her metal parts are packed with fine detail.
  • This figure diverges from the SDCC set version in color palate, and of course, she has a non-translucent hammer.  Colors here are brighter…cheerier if you will.  Otherwise, she’s beautiful either way.  

The Bad

  • Greed wants a removable helmet.
  • Her cape hangs a little loosely out of the back connection point.  

The Rest

This second chance at Jane Foster Thor is highly welcome.  She’s had her own comic run for some time now, she’s got a following, and she definitely deserved to be a main line figure.  This fantastic take on Thor of the modern world deserves your attention and a purchase, so get it done.
