NY Toy Fair 2011 Part 1

As I've mentioned in the past conventions are nice pain in the ass to set up, but the effort is worth it because you generate an awesome booth. We spent the entirety of Saturday putting the booth together and preparing our display pieces. We were there literally from 9am all the way to 11pm and still didn't quite finish everything until the following morning before the show started.

We shipped a lot of product samples to New York, something like 20 boxes of stuff.  Setting up always takes a while mostly because you have to pose the figures.  There's actually quite a bit of thought that goes into this since presentation is everything.  We had some help from a few local NY residents, many thanks.  Tear down is faster since you only need to worry about positioning everything so it does not break in the storage containers.

Here's some pics of our booth before everything was put in them.










 

Because of circumstances out of my control, I could not update this in a "live" format. So for now this is more of a backstage access to Bluefin and our support from Tamashii Nations. Working with new unreleased product is the greatest privilege out there ever and Bandai's Collector's division is dedicated to giving the U.S. some love that its citizens have been demanding. Many many yet to be released prototypes were flown in from Japan during Tamashii Features so they could be on display at New York. Let's take a look shall we?
