AIMING to retain the top spot in the action figure market, Flair will unveil the continually updated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlescollection of figures, accessories and play-sets. From summer, fans can pick up new waves including not just the four brothers but other friends and foes from the series such as Mutagen Man, Metalhead and new versions of Splinter, Bepop and Rocksteady among others. July will see the arrival of Deluxe Throw n Battle Turtles, with Turtles figures leaping to their feet, and Dojo Turtles decked out with removable training gear. Q3 will also see new vehicles and a whole range of Z-line play-sets that can be connected together to create a world of Z-line action. Role-play will also continue to grow with the launch of masks, shells and weapons equipment, which will be joined in the autumn by electronic Turtle Hands that emit realistic sound effects with every Ninja move. The Trash Pack is now in its third year, with spring welcoming a new segment: Trash Pack Wheels. The wheelie gross characters will introduce track racing to the play pattern with new play-sets such as the Trash Pack Wheels Rotten Roller Coaster. Meanwhile, in the core line, Trash Pack Rotten Eggs will debut pre- Easter, while for autumn, Junk Germs will arrive.
2014 will also see the
emergence of the heroes from the Island of Gorm once more when Gormiti returns to toy shelves. Disney’s Sofia the First
