The Flickcast returned to Toy Fair on Monday to check out the newest figures, games and collectibles coming out in the next year. (Just in case you didn’t see last year’s gallery, check it out here)
Like the announcement last year of a new Thundercats reboot, this year was graced with a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line which we will talk more about in the coming days. We also got to take a look at the newest assortment of Skylanders coming out for this year’s Skylanders Giants. We also had the privilege to talk to the master scribe and artist Todd McFarlane about the latest lines he has coming out this year for Halo and the Walking Dead. Stay tuned for that later this week too.
There was tons of licensing going on this year, see the Dark Knight Returns Mr. Potato Head if you don’t believe us. LEGO also expanded on their licensing of the DC and Marvel franchises with life sized Hulk, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman pieces as well as further expansion of their Star Wars line.
Surprisingly, Portal 2 had a huge presence on the show floor as well with Companion Cubes, Portal Gun replicas and even Cave Johnson Portraits.
Take a peek below at all this plus way more with our look at the show floor of Toy Fair 2012.
Current printers can generate higher resolution components in steel, bronze, titanium, inconel, cobalt chrome, and nickel. Some of these metals are currently within the field, replacing cast metals in industrial settings; numerous firms have stated that the printed components outperform their cast counterparts, all even though costing significantly less and taking much less time to manufacture. But when you are speaking about aerospace, the metals need to be the most effective with the finest. Expense, weight, efficiency, and most importantly, safety, are all dependent around the supplies. That is why fighter jets contain “super alloys,” metals forged to become specially sturdy, light, and resilient to heat. Along with the AMAZE project aims to bring these sorts of metals to 3D printers.
