The 2012 Toy Industry Association Toy Fair started this Sunday, February 12th, and goes until Wednesday the 15th. As usual, NECA brought tons of never-before-seen toys as well as some pretty exciting news. So exciting, that industry spies stopped by our booth.
A few hours after opening our booth on Sunday, we noticed the head of our Demo man prototype (from Team Fortress 2) was missing. One of the most anticipated figures from the upcoming Valve action figure line, Demo man had to be pulled from display. A police report was filed, right at the booth. If you happen to find a highly-detailed Demo man head, please report it 
Below are some of the highlights. Please know that the release dates shown in the figures are subject to change without notice:
Assassin’s Creed Revelations
