I just can't get into them. A few of these lines look interesting but I keep coming back to "they don't transform."
I'm happy people are enjoying these lines but it's not something I can get into.
I'll say this... Mattel killed my love of DC collecting. I was hesitant to go in on McFarlane at first because of the scale. Specifically that it's not compatible with Hasbro's Marvel six inch Legends.
But after taking the dive... man, it's good stuff. It re-ignited my love of DC figures. Not...
Ahhhh gotcha. My mom loved BTAS, and looking back it's easy to see why. You could totally get into it as an adult. I don't think she's ever gone out of her way to watch it since, but I was watching it on HBO Max last time I was visiting my folks and she got pretty excited over it.
Same. To this day my mom raves about BTAS. I loved Batman as a kid, and watched that show a ton, and my mom enjoyed it. To this day she'll bring it up as one of the best shows we watched when I was a kid. And I'm pretty sure that show had darker subject matter then Batman Forever!
Funny story...
My mom wasn't as bad with that stuff. She didn't think Pokemon or Transformers were Satanic, she was just a bit on the strict side. She had three young kids, and was trying to keep us all under control so looking back it made sense. Still, "YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE TO PICK SOMETHING" and "YOU'LL GET...
Good eye!

Also I'm totally getting a...

Some thoughts.
They all share a mould, which is fine.
They all turn into helmets, which is genius. Collectable helmets is a big thing among NFL fans. I'm not sure how...
To this day I will still unpack a figure I get in the car before heading home, just to mess with it a bit. It stems from my mom's YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING THIS UNTIL YOU GET HOME edicts :p
I genuinely don't know how kids get into stuff today. I'm 37, and I teach high schoolers. How today's 7-12 demos find stuff, get hooked on it, and consume it is utterly lost on me.
I'd assume it all has to do with streaming and online content given that kids today are basically raised on the...
