New ships, secret characters and LOTS of Baby Groot...

As ever, the Toy Fair proved to be one of the most eye-opening (and wallet-opening) events on the fandom calendar, showing off the big toy brands' plans for the rest of the year and probably revealing the toys that will top the Christmas charts. It also followed its usual trend of offering spoilers, revelations and first real looks at characters for forthcoming movies (including a must-have Pirates Of The Caribbean LEGO ship that is one of the best sets released in years).

And while there has clearly been a meeting on how much companies like LEGO and Hasbro can reveal in their toy sets this year (they have a tendency to give away plot points in their haste to sell sets - like the Giant Man scene in Civil War), there's still a lot of juicy information to be taken from this year's crop of releases.

The toy lines are particularly interesting for Marvel fans, since the company has three movies out this year and there are inevitably tie-ins that offer up some morsels of information that could reveal what we should expect to see from the films. Thank God for the toy makers...
