Toy Fair 2013: The Kotobukiya 60th Anniversary Party
Posted by AnthonyP on February 14, 2013 at 09:57 PM CST
So, the party kicked off at 8:00 PM at the Soho House in New York City and only an extremely small handful of retail, licensing, and media partners were in attendance.

The night began with Dan Lujan, Director of Media Operations, opening up with a warm and heartfelt welcoming. What came after, was an extremely moving and amazing video, describing how a small hobby shop in Japan has now become one of the world's finest creators of collectibles in the world.

Following the film, Chris Spitale, Senior Manager of Global Product Development from Lucasfilm and Julian Montoya, Vice President of Global Toys from Warner Bros. Consumer Products, conducted speeches honoring Kotobukiya for their professionalism, dedication, and commitment toward the industry.

After the speeches, Hiroyo Shizimu, Chairwoman of Kotobukiya Co., Ltd. thanked us for our support for the company, which we all toasted to.

Upon our departure, attendees were given a gift bag that included, amongst many other great things, the Golden R2-D2 ARTFX+ statue as a token of Kotobukiya's appreciation.

This was truly an amazing event to attend and the Rebelscum/Cool Toy Review team wishes nothing but the best for Kotobukiya in the years ahead.

Now that you've had your first look at Hasbro's 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Black Series Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite two pack, the Probe Droid is curious what you think of the set.
I'm attending SDCC and will certainly get this awesome set!
I'm attending SDCC but have no interest in this line.
I'm not attending SDCC but hope to get this awesome set somehow.

I'm undecided but interested in seeing it added to the Photo Archive.
I'm more vexed at why toy collecting news is suddenly exclusive to USA Today instead of a site I go to for my Star Wars news...
