The 2013 International Toy Fair brought the Rebelscum team back to New York City to give you the complete rundown on all the major Star Wars licensees. Just like last year, you can find all the non-Star Wars coverage on Cool Toy Review.
BLADEZ TOYZ PLC
The Bladez Toyz PLC Booth Gallery
Every time we walked into the Javitz Center we were welcomed by inflatable Astromechs, and finally on the last day of the 2013 International Toy Fair, we found the Bladez Toyz PLC and got a closer look at the R2-D2 and R5-D4 motorized inflatable toys. Standing nearly two feet tall, these bad boys are a lot of fun! The representative we spoke with told us of their plans to release a 1:1 scale Artoo as well. The Arfive is still a prototype and may have additional changes to its deco. Follow the above link for a closer look.
BLUEFIN DISTRIBUTION
The BlueFin Distribution Booth
As the 2013 International Toy Fair would down, we got the information on the only Star Wars item Bluefin Distribution had on display (and that was perfectly okay by us because this thing rocked); The Tamashii Nations Perfect Model C-3PO.
COMIC IMAGES
The Comic Images Booth Gallery
There were a bunch of cool new Star Wars products on display in the Comic Images booth, including the coolest backpack design we've ever seen. Click the image above to have a closer look then head over to Cool Toy Review to see the rest of their booth.

Our International Toy Fair coverage began with the Hasbro presentation that covered among other things, what's coming in the various Star Wars lines. Follow through for our on-site report.
Hasbro Presentation Hi-Res Images

The Hasbro Showroom Part Two
Up next is our second gallery of images from the Hasbro showroom, this time looking at the Jedi Force line.
The Hasbro Report
In our efforts to ensure that collectors are kept abreast of Hasbro's plans for the coming year, and to get answers to questions submitted by you, we met with the Hasbro team, and you can read our report here.
Hasbro Presentation - Angry Birds Star Wars
In addition to the general Star Wars line, the Angry Birds Star Wars range shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, and we have the official images from Hasbro's presentation for your viewing pleasure.
JAKKS PACIFIC
Jakks Pacific Giant Darth Vader
We took a very quick stroll through the Jakks Pacific booth and found their upcoming giant Darth Vader figure. It was the only Star Wars piece displayed, but the rep we spoke with told us they also have a flashlight toy, which they hope to reveal very soon.
KOTOBUKIYA
Kotobukiya Display
Our 2013 International Toy Fair coverage continues with a look at the Kotobukiya booth, where you can check out the Star Wars products they have on display, including the prototype for the upcoming General Grievous ARTFX+ statue!

Next stop, the Kotobukiya booth. One of our personal favorites, follow through for additional information on the Star Wars items Kotobukiya had on display during the 2013 International Toy Fair.
The Kotobukiya Booth
On the Monday night of Toy Fair, we were invited to attend a party hosted by Kotobukiya, celebrating their 60th anniversary.
REVELL
The Revell Booth Gallery
Is it just us, or was there nothing new on display in the Revell booth? The sales associate we were speaking with mentioned that all the Star Wars products had been repackaged, but all the pieces there featured last year's Darth Maul design. When asked if he was referring to the Yoda or Darth Vader packaging we have seen other companies using, he was unable to confirm. Either way, here is a gallery showing you what was actually there. We are still waiting on confirmation on what the 2013 packaging will feature and will let you know as soon as we do.

Tamashii Nations Perfect Model C-3PO
Our 2013 International Toy Fair coverage continues with a gallery showing off Tamashii Nations' 1/6 scale Perfect Model C-3PO figure.
