Jakks in general wasn't at Toy Fair? Surprised, I thought they usually are.

Correct, they were not there. I don't think they were last year either, but going back further than that I'm not sure what their presence was like.

I guess when you have as many perennial lines as they do, you don't need to convince retailers of all that much. "Here is a Super Mario. You will buy the Super Mario."
 
Found the latest wave of the 3.75" figures at Five Below, minus Jimbo. Nice to know there's at least still product out there. From the sound of things from WonderCon, the line still has life in it. Gonna be interesting to see how things go from here.
 
It wasn't much. They showed off King Size Homer (in the muumuu), and addressed Fly Bart as coming to GameStop later this year. Also showed off a Lard Lad plush. They apparently acknowledged the distribution issues as a "snafu" and said they had other product planned, but weren't allowed to show it off. So take that as you will- some folks think it spells the end, some say it gave them a glimmer of hope. Only time will tell.

Although assuming they've got the license through that point, movie-based SKUs wouldn't be out of the question even if the mainlines are done by then. And that likely means more show characters would have a chance to get into the line through that.

Saw the new 5" figures that are coming up. I want Mr. Burns only but just for the 3 eyed fish.

Sadly, that wave has been "out" for a while now, but I don't blame anyone for not knowing that because of the shoddy distribution. I think I saw everyone in the wave at least once at other than Mr. Burns, and he was the one I wanted most. These last few waves of 5" figures especially were especially weird with distribution- saw a bunch of some of the figures, and the others I saw maybe once, and then never again- Barney, Bumblebee Man, Carl, Flanders.
