Our Toy Fair 2003 coverage wraps up as we look at the following companies: NECA, Buffalo Games, Dark Horse Comics, Glory Innovations, and Gemmy. In previous days, we looked at the NJ Croce Simpsons bendables and Applause's line of Simpsons plush. We also have articles covering Sideshow Toy and Rocket USA. We also mentioned our extensive coverage of Playmates Toys and the WoS line in a previous news item. Thanks to our staffers Michael Crawford MWC, Nicole "spanikopita" Butigan, and Jeremy "blueduck37" Wilcox for their work in New York.

The longest running prime time animated series in history (and longest running sitcom currently on the air) will celebrate a milestone tonight with the airing of it's 300th Episode. 'Barting Over' (8PM, Fox) will feature guest stars Jane Kaczmarek, blink 182 and Tony Hawk. Immediately following the 300th episode, Fox is airing another all new episode 'I'm Spelling As Fast As I Can', so don't forget to set your VCR or TIVO. It's important to point out that 'Barting Over' isn't actually the real 300th episode. For more information check out this article from our friends over at The Simpsons Archive.
On a recent get-together of the New York City area collectors, SCS administrator blueduck37 visited the 'Kwik-E-Mart Boutique', the new Simpsons shop at the flagship FAO Schwartz location. The shop was designed to resemble Springfield's famous Kwik-E-Mart and features life-size sculptures of the Simpsons cast. See our newest magazine article for details and pictures.
Sideshow Toy has unveiled prototypes for the first series of their line of detailed Simpsons busts, just in time for Toy Fair. It consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa. These are due out in August and are up for preorder at Entertainment Earth. They will be followed by two more series this Fall, as we mentioned last month.
