    Emce Booth At Toy Fair, New "Retro Trek and Universal Monsters

    I went by Toy Fair this afternoon to check out Emce's booth and get a first-hand look the new figures. I see that most of the figrues have already been posted, so I'll limit my pics.

    OTHER NEWS- Diamond Select wouldn't let me take pictures, but they did have the two new fantastic 8-inch Retro lines.

    Star Trek- They had 4 new Mego-inspired figures- Christopher Pike, Marta, Nurse Chapel and the Salt Monster! They looked pretty good witht he Salt Monster being a pretty faithful reproduction. Chapel's sculpt was pretty good actually, but Marta's was a bit wanting. (In fact, Maybe it wasn't Marta. Marta was the green woman played by Yvonne C i realraig, right?)

    Universal Monsters- These were just plain incredible. I really wished I could have taken pics of these to share. The outfits were spectacular and I really liked the sculpts. I am not a big monsters fans, but I will definitely pick these up.

    I'm updating this with some pics from the Emce booth. It will take a few minutes.

    Awesome! Universal Monsters! This day just keeps getting better and better.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        Is Pike normal or in the wheelchair?
        Can't wait to see the monsters.
        Which monsters do they have?

              I understand no pics were allowed of the Monsters, but can you tell us which ones were on display? I forgot to ask, actor likenesses or generic?

                        Which Universal Monsters were shown? Are they realistic sculpts, or vintage style? Are they faithful to the look of the monsters in the films, or take liberties?

                        This is great news. Can't wait to see photos.

                          Here's a few pics from the booth. Sorry about the flashes off the glass case.

                          The Twilight Zone Figures. The Gremlin sculpt is near perfect!

                              I'd love to see Nurse Chapel and The Salt Creature. Does Nurse Chapel have rooted hair or molded?
