Sure Lego featured all manner of cool products at this year's Toy Fair, but when it came cool licensed lines, Corgi's selection is awfully hard to beat.
In addition to the hydrogen-powered H2Go RC car that we posted about the other day, the UK-based company, formally known solely for being a leading provider of die-cast models, showed off their various lines from licenses including Nintendo, Halo, Star Trek, The Muppets, Harry Potter, and The Beatles.
Check our visual tour, after the jump.
This Halo energy sword uses the same illuminating technology as Corgi's recent Star Wars lightsabers. The unit should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $100.
Animal and Gonzo are two in a series of impressive full-sized Muppet dolls.
Wakka, wakka, et al.
A phazer model from the upcoming J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek remake.
An illuminating Star Trek communicator.
Hand-down the coolest DS holder we've seen yet.
Mario and friends.
Another Corgi illuminating sword. This time it belongs to Link from Legend of Zelda.
Corgi actually designed the original die-cast models for The Beatles' Yellow Submarine, in the 60s. The submarine is back, as are various other Beatles-branded vehicles. All are unwaveringly British.
Speaking of unwaveringly British, Corgi has the rights to the Harry Potter series. Sadly for fans, this set is only available in the UK.

That's not a comunicator, it's a tricorder.

That phaser isn't from the new Star Trek movie and that "communicator" is actually a tricorder from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

the phaser is from mthe 5th and 6th star trek movies and the comunicator was in star trek 8 and 9

sorry tricorder

I would assume a communicator would now have a thumb typing keyboard for texting. Or, would texting be a thing of the past for this far in the future?

That's a Tricorder, not a Comunicator and the Phaser is an Assault Phaser from the fifth and sixth Star Trek Movies. Nice Try Though.
