Because it’s an encapsulation of the creative stagnation and nostalgia driven regurgitation that dominates the action (particularly action figure) toy segment? Or maybe it’s because it reminds you of how old you are?

Reported by The Toybook, The Loyal Subjects (TLS) has secured a major licensing deal with Hasbro for a number of legacy properties: Jem and the Holograms, My Buddy, Popples, My Pet Monster, ROM the Space Knight and MASK. TLS has had notable success in relaunching Strawberry Shortcake and...

No, and it is EXTREMELY unlikely you ever will. Dark of the Moon Blaster was planned for the “Movie Trilogy Series” to extend the Dark of the Moon product line. Blaster was seemingly planned for Wave 2, but the line refresh was cancelled before the first wave was even released. Hasbro showed...

I think it depends. The same reason Hasbro has made things like a “pseudo-Corvette” for Tracks in Kingdom. They can’t be a full on reproduction, but they get can still “get the idea” across. I think the same thing is true of gun designs, which is why I think GI Joe, in particular, skews...

That’s an issue that has been addressed in the Babylon 5 fandom (and Star Trek). While the actual filmed material is high quality and can be retrieved and upscaled, the digital effects were only ”scaled” to be acceptable on SD televisions of the era. In the case of Star Trek: TNG’s big 4K...

I searched, but didn't find a dedicated thread for the new series (might be some postings in the Anime thread), BUT... Terminator Zero dropped on Netflix. It's good. REAL ******* GOOD. There's a lot of callbacks, but it never really devolves into pure "fan service". It SUPERBLY captures...

Again, here's the collection of the leaked presentation slides. The 2025 "Priorities" slide simply has Cyberworld as a "New Kids Segment", not a new media. Further the "5 year plan" slide doesn't note any appearance of Cyberworld among the various other media ventures planned (including a...

Still find it bemusing everyone seems so SURE SET on Cyberworld being a new cartoon...despite it NOT appearing on Hasbro's own media timeline from the same presentation. If planning a release/initiative next year, they certainly would NOT be hiding the fact it would have media support in the...

I forgot to mention that that Best Buy is running its Buy 2, Get 1 free deal for Switch games for Members. The sale applies to all in stock AND preorders. I got Mario and Luigi, the Marvel Fighting Collection and got Mario Maker 2 for Free (actually, due to THAT game having an additional...

So are most of the other fighters! :p

The Haunted Castle remake is interesting. I wonder if they rebalanced it. I tried to play it, but it is PAINFUL to play on many levels. It's a fundamentally BAD game, so it'll be interesting what they do to make it palatable

Yeah, Alpha 3 Upper doesn't feel like it adds much to this collection given the prior collections. Capcom probably feels EVERYTHING MUST HAVE A STREET FIGHTER! I also find it odd they opted for Project Justice and Plasma Sword rather than their predecessors (Rival Schools and Star Gladiator...

I was wrong. No Legacy of Kain. That said, for a Direct for the holiday season...a LOT of stuff showed isn't going to be out until next year. Probably the biggest stuff, to me, is the amount of collections we're seeing released from Capcom and Konami: Capcom announced another Fighting...

I'm going to make a call before the Nintendo Direct in about 15 minutes: They are going to announce a Legacy of Kain Remaster release, like the Tomb Raider Anniversary. Between the Evercade release and the newly announced graphic novel, it FEELS like there is some movement on sprucing up...

That and, as someone who has dabbled in fiction writing, it effectively DOUBLES the number of characters you have to deal with. For every Head, Target and Powermaster, you have to account for TWO characters. That's a LOT to juggle with the already hefty cast loads most Transformers fiction...

So, this has actually been trending the past couple years (mostly in collector stuff like the reissues and Masters of the Universe), but this year is the first I’ve seen the phenomenon so widespread At physical retail. It’s amusing because it flies in the face of what we’ve been told...

He DID get a rerun with the Cybertronian Lamborghini Bros. 2 per case, so your store had at least half a dozen of the other two at some point.

Uh oh, Steevy’s imagination juices got flowing and now I’ll bless you with a massive splurge of ideas! Preamble: I’ve noticed that since Kingdom, while Hasbro still makes Armorizors, the Generations figures have largely moved away from wide support of them. Siege and into Earthrise, most...

And that is someone who knows a thing or two about coffee!
