    Robots in Disguise (2001) Appreciation Thread

    It's semantics, but we have a current instance of a retail partner pulling out of a plan with Target changing their minds about the Buzzworthy entrants. It's entirely possible it was FAO's management that said "Yeah, we can't take this on amidst all the other issues we're having." Once they...

    Makes me glad I never bothered with the first release. I'll keep him and Hound and hopefully sell the remaining three.

    If Hasbro were to reissue the G1 Citybots as Titan Class figures, would you get one?

    Metroplex is tiny compared to the others, so I wouldn't pay $200 for him. I have the Encore Reissue Fort Max and the reissue Trypticon, so don't need them. So that leaves just Scorponok for me which - sure. That being said, BBTS sold Fort Max for $399 back in 2012 (though of course it was...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    This is so trippy because I guess that's Colonel Potter on the left, but he almost looks more like Father Mulcahy than Mulcahy does. Looking at pics of these figures on line and the facial sculpts are really impressive - better than Kenner Star Wars for the most part!

    Studio Series discussion

    I'm inclined to be a bit more generous in light of what their current goals seem to be. I loved the Combiner Wars combiners and their system, but there were some necessary compromises made in order for limb interchangeability, and those compromises directly affected the aesthetics. If the...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    I'm pretty sure the Transformers pics are someone's private collection set up like a store display (notice the Ikea shelves to the right in the first pic - also that it's labeled "20th Century Toy Collector"). Still an effective point of course. The toy aisles of yore were a sight to behold.

    Is there a thought it might just be a reissue?

    So weird. Well - glad some folks got 'im. Did anyone on here get him from EE? Judging by prices on Ebay it must've been extremely limited quantities.

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    I don't understand how they're doing "new" runs on Snarl since we have yet to see the first run right? I mean, I've had mine preordered at EE since he was announced.

    Deadpool 3!!

    It was wild to me how big a difference that makes - watching the trailer the first time, it took a few beats before the TVA even clicked for me since they didn't look "right". It would be very Deadpool for them to actually mimic the show's look while in the TVA and for him to notice and remark...

    I love a good joke to steal! :D

    That is inspired. Absolutely fantastic idea!

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'm convinced (with absolutely zero reason beyond the obvious), that Cybertronian Wheeljack was supposed to be Ratchet and wires got crossed somewhere in the early animation process.

    What the Sequel Trilogy Did RIGHT

    Why is this a separate thread? It's been discussed ad nauseum in the regular SW thread.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Yeah - almost laughably bland in altmode. Why oh why did they do the square windshield?

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I don't understand the confusion either. It's just "comic colored". Like the Joe and Star Wars comic packs before it.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    We've already been told Target has backed out of the Buzzworthy line, hence the multi-pack of animation colors coming out vs individual releases.

    Exactly. And they know they don't need to add any incentives to Swoop since everyone's going to buy him to complete the team anyway. This way, you're now encouraged to snag Marvel Grim if you want all the swords. The only question is what they might include with the inevitable toy-color Swoop...

    That's kind of the point: it encourages the double dip so you can have the accessories for your other Dinobots. Conversely, I guess if you haven't bought any of the rest maybe it helps you decide to track them down.

    Thundercats - General Discussion (and some Silverhawks too, whynot)

    Looks like S7 might be doing the Silverhawks' Copper Kid and his space racer?
