AUS Toy Fair non-TFs preview.
Haven't scanned in any pictures yet. I may do that later, if anything in the Retailer preview book isn't seen at the Fair tomorrow.
This just covers all the non-Transformers stuff at the 2009 Australian Toy, Hobby & Nursery Fair, held from tomorrow to Monday. I should be there tomorrow, and an idea of what I hope to see there was mentioned in the Retailer Preview book.

-Funtastic
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (25th anniversary toys mentioned), Bratz.
-Hasbro Australia
GI Joe, Wolverine, Star Wars, Spiderman, Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, Littlest Pet Shop.
-Hunter Overseas

Not every exhibitor is covered in the preview book, so I should see other interesting items there to report as well. Looking forward to it. :)
