Following the announcement last week that there will be official Sackboy toys hitting shelves this year, photos from the Toy Industry Association’s Toy Fair 2009, which opened its doors yesterday are starting to come in.
The new photos give us some juicy details on the kinds of toys we’ll be able to get our grubby mits on.
First of all, we’re not sure if last weeks official announcement of 4” figures is still valid but it is now clear that the there will be a 2” figure range coming out in October 2009 from Mezco Toys. So, the same size as popular vinyl toys such as the standard series of Qee, Munny and Kubrick.
The photos show original painted sculpts for the Sackboy prototypes, all of which look super cute. We can’t wait to see their finished versions! There is also a keyring range shown with 4 different, presumably rubber designs.
Sackboy leads the way
Stick ‘em up!
Yay! Keyrings!
Hmmm, does she glow in the dark?!
Yearrgh! Me hearties!
Devil boy too!
So, we’re not quite sure if there are 4” figures (out in Spring) and 2” figures (out in October), or if there are just 2” figures but either way - we’ll be running off to the shops to buy the entire set once they come out.
If the 2” figures sell like Qee’s and Kubricks - you won’t know which one you’re getting until you buy it and open the box! This could get expensive… 
Thanks to Nick for the link! Check out the original photos on GEEKANERD.
AWSOME CANT WAIT!!!!
Damn, October is so far…I want the chinese dragon figure!
I wish they would make quality sackboy plushes that will go on sale not just some limited edition thing or something you have to get inconveniently. i would love having a customisable sackboy :DD
