Bandai, Square Enix, Kotobukiya and 3A show off their stuff at the New York Toy Fair

The 2014 edition of the New York Toy Fair featured the very best toys all over the world and with big names like McFarlane, NECA and Hasbro showing off their latest toys and figures, how did Japanese companies fare? Well, they most certainly turned a lot of heads as Bandai, Square Enix, Kotobukiya and 3A all showed the world what they can do.


Let’s start off with Bandai which was highlighted by their Tamashii Nations and SH FiguArts lines. What is perhaps their most popular offerings came from the classic anime Digimon along with their usual tokusatsu and mecha offerings. They also impressed everyone with their Naruto, Tiger & Bunny and Dragon Ball figures which have proven to be big hits back in the States.
