Thanks for showing us your pics! The Blanka Street fighter poster is all kinds of cool seriously picasaweb.google.com/steventze/LicensingShowNYC2008/photo#5215939204407069618Whatever these are, they look pretty good. The more detailed, battle beasts looking figures are neat too. Any clue on what they are? Also, on other people's pictures, I saw a Robocop poster. I heard it's a remake that is being done for 2010. Was any info available about it?

Those guys are action figures for EON KID, which is a cg show and from what I've seen in commercials: a Megaman rip off.
Gormiti: The Invincible Lords of Nature are those battle beasts. I thought they were pretty cool, in the way BB and Muscle men were. They are very weird looking, which is a plus.
Robocop: I saw that poster and heard the same thing. If its not Peter Weller, I don't care. But I'll reserve judgement for when more news surfaces. I loved the first movie.
Huntik was being heralded as Indiana Jones meets Harry Potter. It's a new cartoon coming out early next year. It has toys and a collectable card game coming out. It's strictly for kids 6-10 or about that, and when I say that, I mean, it was pretty painful most of the time to watch... you'd have a better time watching Avatar: TLAB (Which I LOVE)
Having really enjoyed Kung Fu Panda (go see it if you haven't and watch the credits which are beautiful) I'm kinda just as excited about Monsters vs Aliens as I am about every Pixar film. No joke.
on collectable games: I think when a trading card game gets involved with a license (or IS the license basically) properties tend to suck, or at the very least, get old fast and puke out crappy character design. I know some of you might disagree, but the hex die game aspect of Xevoz really was lame, and I think their inability to market the toys as such was a fault of how crappy the game was, when it really should have just been a push of how crazy creative you could get with the pieces. I'm not sure exactly how Xevoz could have been pushed as a licensed property, but we could have been having xevoz themed birthday parties with plates and cups featuring Cryo Katana
