The latest ToyFare magazine is out! The big topic this month is Toy Fair , which features everything from the latest Star Wars and Transformers to Afro Samurai and others. Of particular interest is their page on Toy 
Fair 2007upcoming manga-styled DC Statues from DC Direct. Featuring Supergirl, Batgirl and Catwoman in manga-style, these statues look incredible!
If you pick up a copy of ToyFare magazine (or have a subscription), be sure to check out page 42 to see them! I like the Batgirl one the best – she looks like a member of Gatchaman!
I haven’t heard anything else about release dates for the DC Direct other than ‘fall 2007′. Has anyone heard a more specific date for these?

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
