Avengers 2: Your Best Look Yet at The Vision
We got our best look yet at The Vision from this summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron movie thanks to Habro's Marvel toy display at this year's New York Toy Fair.
The photo, courtesy of Cinema Blend, shows us the fine details of his costume, like the techno-fabric of his cape, the gray/pink/yellow color scheme, and the texture on his chest piece. We've seen some promo art of the character before, but there's nothing quite like seeing him realized in 3D.
Close Up Look at Batman: TAS Batmobile Toy
Oh, one of my favorite visits at Toy Fair each year -- DC Collectibles! They’ve got new action figures from Arrow and The Flash and much more this year, but first up let’s take a closer look at the Batman: The Animated Series batmobile that’s in the works -- and the newest batch of figures based on TAS and The New Batman Adventures as well.
By the way, two figures can fit in the batmobile, which also has working lights (inside and out) and a sliding canopy. Take a look at the images in the slideshow below:

Star Wars: Here’s What Hasbro Brought to Toy Fair
Today was Habro's big day at the New York Toy Fair, and we have pictures of all the Star Wars figures they had on display. There's the new Bladebuilders customizable lightsabers, a Furbacca (Furby + Chewbacca), some Black Series figures from the original trilogy, and a few toys from Star Wars Rebels.
Unfortunately, we didn't get any toys from this December's Star Wars: The Force Awakens -- not even a ball droid! -- but any Star Wars lover will still want to give these collectibles a look.

Ant-Man Hank Pym Costume Revealed (Sort Of)
Thanks to LEGO's display of their new Ant-Man set at this weekend's New York Toy Fair, we have our first look at Ant-Man Hank Pym's costume.
Yeah, this is just the LEGO version of it, but just seeing this tells us a few cool things we didn't know. The upcoming movie stars Scott Lang as Ant-Man, with Pym acting as a mentor of sorts. We didn't know if Pym would be suiting up in the film, but now it looks like the original Ant-Man will indeed be wearing his costume.
Nintendo Cancels Wii U TVii Service in Europe
Challenges in localization have led to the cancellation of Nintendo's Wii U media service TVii in Europe.
"At Nintendo of Europe, we continue to challenge ourselves to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all to enjoy," said a post on their official website. "Due to the extremely complex nature of localising multiple television services across a diverse range of countries with varied licensing systems, regrettably we have taken the decision not to launch the Nintendo TVii service within the European region."
"Although on this occasion we did not anticipate such challenges, we will always strive to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all our users to enjoy."
Lionhead Studios Reveals New Fable Legends Character
Lionhead Studios has revealed the newest playable character in the upcoming multiplayer Fable Legends.
Evienne, a fighter wielding a legendary broadsword called Brobdingnagian or Brob for short, joins Sterling, Rook, Inga, Winter, Shroud, Leech, and Glory, according to Lionhead.
Evienne is the latest in a line of women in her family to act as keeper of Brob until someone worthy comes along to claim the sword. Evienne found that she could wield the giant sword and has decided to “answer the King’s call for Heroes.”
Fable Legends is a 4v1 multiplayer game set several hundred years before the first Fable game that was released on the original Xbox and was recently re-released as Fable Anniversary.

Pick a Side: Autobots or Decepticons
With the recent release of Transformers: Battle Tactics, we started wondering which Transformers team is best. Classic robots like Bumblebee and Starscream make both the Autobots and Decepticons shine.
That's where you come in: We asked you to tell us which Transformers team is your favorite and why. Here's what you had to say.
Alan T.: Autobots. I hate losing and the Decepticons lost almost all the time to the Autobots :D
InGameNinja7: Since Grimlock is my fave Transformers I'm team Autobots all the way. When evil wins, it just feels wrong.

Square Enix just announced Dissidia Final Fantasy at JAEPO, the Japan Amusement Expo, in Chiba.
The 3v3 fighting game is based on the Dissidia titles released for the PSP, which contained multiple characters spanning several storylines engaging in an "endless battle."

No word yet on whether any characters from Final Fantasy XV will make an appearance. Square Enix is holding an event April 10, and we might learn more about Dissidia Final Fantasy then. In the meantime, Square Enix has put up this teaser site.
