PLAYSKOOL HEROES is a line that I wish existed when I was a little kid. Perfect for kids that are still too young for the “big kid” action figures, these chunky little toys are perfect for introducing the youngest members of your family to the worlds of STAR WARS, TRANSFORMERS, MARVEL COMICS, and more. We have a few floating around here at Rock Father HQ, and as Addie graduates into the regular action figures, Baby Finley will no doubt be getting in on the fun with some of these. What’s new for 2013? Well, here’s the lineup – fresh from the New York Toy Fair…
