Triad Toys @ New York Toy Fair 2011

While I strangely no longer receive news from US-based boutique toy-makers of 1/6th-scale action figures, Triad Toys, their showing at the curent New York Toy Fair @ Jacob Javitts Center raises eyebrows, as well as induces a diminutive smile on my 1/6-loving face.
