If you’re only just seeing this now let me welcome you to the third post of coverage from the recent Toy Association Toy Fair that was held over at the Javits Center. You’re not too late to the party as I’ve got a miles length of things to share coming up but this post seems to finish my brief exhibitor findings. By batching several of the companies that I engaged with together, I ensure that everyone gets a little promotion on the website. My plan is to follow these posts with longer and more in-depth exhibitor reveals. You won’t be disappointed at all trust me so let’s get back on track with the first batch of visuals from a company called LBO Collective or Let’s Be Onyx as I was told. Please enjoy the continued presentation.

What first drew me to the LBO Collective booth was the signage for “Captain Action”, an action figure for the lads from way back in time. This was originally aimed at being a competing action figure to the famed G.I. Joe line. It was also designed by the same person, Sam Weston.

Welcome back my friends to the posts that never end, I’m so glad you could attend look inside, look inside. Okay so I must apologize for using a line from the great Emerson, Lake and Palmer tune but I felt it applied for the situation and we are here at Chapter Three of my Day One explorations of the brand new Special Edition NYC convention. As has been done in numerous Convention posts, these chapters are broken into “50” images apiece to let you best absorb the fun. It also keeps the tags down to under 100 for the posting and that is easier on me. So let’s get started with the sights and stuffs by showcasing the booth for the “Captain Action” action figure line. I owned a couple of these growing up and am stoked to see his return to uhm err, action.
