We went to the NY Toy Fair a couple of weeks back and we saw some really cool interesting stuff. Here are some of the stuff we saw from Nickelodeon, Cuddle Barn, Wild Hog, and more.
Nickelodeon
Half-Shell Heroes: For the first time, kids as young as three can join in non-stop ninja fun. The all-new Heroes In a Half-Shell segment includes action figures, vehicles and playsets, sized just right for preschool hands. It allows little ones to enjoy open-ended imaginative play with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles heroes and mutants.

Z-Line Ninja Playsets: The all-new collection of Z-line Ninja playsets allows kids to zip their Turtles action figures around the room. The playsets attach safely to walls and the zip-lines are easily connected, allowing kids to trigger a chain reaction, launching even more Turtle figures. Available this spring, the line includes two basic playsets, Freefall Fire Escape and Window Wipeout, and two deluxe playsets, Water Tower Washout and Billboard Breakout. This fall, the ultimate zip-lining fans can zip their Turtles from greater heights with the Construction Crane Cascade high-flying pulley system. Each playset includes a gargoyle launcher, zip-lines, angle gauge and more. For extended ninja play, all Z-line Ninja sets connect to create a world of zip-line action! Action figures are sold separately.
Basic Action Figure: This assortment continues to grow with the addition of more than 25 new figures in 2014, including some of the most beloved characters from the original 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series such as Casey Jones, Bebop and Rocksteady. The highly detailed action figures are fully articulated and uniquely sculpted, with heights ranging from 4” to 5.5”. Each figure is equipped with unique accessories and is compatible with most of the vehicles and playsets in the line.

Give them a toss into the battle and they spring to their feet, unleash their weapons and are ready to take out Shredder and the Foot!
