It’s Toy Fair time again. Time for the model companies to unveil their plans for the next year – or two – or three – or four.

Information on nearly 100 new offerings from Spark arrived first:

More than 30 models have been added to the 1/43 Spark advance order list that we posted yesterday. Unfortunately, suitable photos were not provided for most of the additions. We hope to add photos at a later date.
