Toy Fair 2010 is wrapping up in New York City today but the event is still yielding some game-related news. DC Direct has announced plans during Toy Fair to release a series of statues featuring DC Comics characters as they look in the upcoming MMO game DC Universe Online.

The statues are based on the character designs created by legendary comic artist Jim Lee for the game. Figures.com reports that the line will begin in November with Batman and Catwoman statues and in December it will continue with Superman and Green Lantern. There's no word yet on pricing.

Toy Fair 2010 is in full swing this week in New York City and DC Comics' DC Unlimited action figure division is busy showing off some of their upcoming releases. The big news, coming from Figures.com, is that DC Direct will be coming out with a series of action figures based on Blizzard's upcoming RTS sequel StarCraft II. While the figure prototypes were shown at Toy Fair, photos of those prototypes were not permitted. The figures shown include a Protoss, a Space Marine and a Terran Soldier. There' no word on when the figures will launch.

DC Direct also announced more game-based action figures during Toy Fair including more additions to their World of Warcraft line (an example is shown at the right) and a second wave of their Mass Effect 2 action figures (the first wave is due in August). The second wave will have four figures: Miranda, Legion, Mordin and Garrus
