  1. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    Hasbro is practically broadcasting that the next Haslab will be the Rattler.
  2. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Shredder is a mutant snake with the fancy tail piece, while Ninjor looks like Rattlor's (200x) cousin. The heroes are the only boring ones from the few shown. Update: Pics! https://toynewsi.com/241-53859
  3. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    First reveals are out for Turtles of Grayskull Year 2. Snakemen are BIG next year. Shown was a mutant Shredder and a Foot Soldier/King Hiss. Both look FANTASTIC...except for being frickin' Walmart exclusive. New versions of the Turtles- Mike sporting some kind of capture nunchaku, while...
  4. Transformers Legacy toyline

    First images from SDCC are out. One of the notable reveals is a Titan Master Cerebros (RiD style) being included with Omega Prime. Worth noting that Fortress Maximus is getting a fresh production run this year, as well...
  5. Transformers Retro series (Walmart TFTM Reissues)

    First images from SDCC, showing the Retro Optimus Prime. Like most of the recent reissues, this one is sporting cartoon colors. Looks spiffy, but between United and Missing Link...I think I might be "good" on retro Optimii...
  6. Deadpool 3!!

    Beware, leaks of started to hit the web of various cameos featured in the film. Also, initial reviews are starting to go up. General consensus is very mixed. I plan to see it tomorrow afternoon.
  7. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Nothing really new there from JtPrime's prior listing. I know Tformers was posting a lot of that as "hoping to be revealed at SDCC". I expect most of the retailer items to get revealed for the holiday season, probably the final wave of United. The next wave of Studio Series is highly probable...
  8. Harris-Walz / Dems

    I pretty much said back in 2020 that if the Democrats put out a younger, dynamic, white male, they‘d sail into the White House. And I stand by that assertion now. As much as I think Harris would be a fantastic President, I think she’s an “easy target” for right wing media. An educated...
  9. Studio Series discussion

    Robotmasters was concurrent with Superlink into Galaxy Force. The intent was always to be a budget-minded supplement to the “main” franchise push, which is why most toys were deluxe(ish) and under and all the new molds were those of major franchise character iterations. We all called it...
  10. The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Yeah, I’ve had to tolerate some garbage controllers in my time, so the Switch Pro is completely fine to me. I’d even argue I like it better than the base Xbox Series controller (I ABHORE that clicky dpad!), though I think the PS5 controller is better still. Hey. Let’s talk about some games...
  11. The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    The DC’s d-pad was perfectly serviceable, but it was on the small side (a complaint that I would apply to the entire controller, in general). Because it was small with more “pointed” plastic molding, it made the controller uncomfortable for fighting games. And of all genres, the machine...
  12. Who's trying to break the internet today?

    Because the joke writes itself… Yesterday, Microsoft themselves were the ones trying to break the internet. Actually a double whammy from a borked update to CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform blue screened thousands of Windows systems (Mac and Linux were unaffected), leading to multiple airlines...
  13. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    I think I can tolerate that solid Quarrel to get not only a great Falcon, but one with a superior headsculpt AND the proper shotgun. I'm still not entirely sure if it is a new headsculpt...or just a vastly better deco job.
  14. Transformers Legacy toyline

    I refuse to believe humans chose to live in a place like Australia with the sheer number of deadly animals that inhabit the area. On land AND seas.
  15. X-Men '97 - continuation of 1992 Animated Series

    The episode "Remember It" helped X-Men garner an Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Animated Program. Outside of production design work for Ashoka and Loki, no other Disney+ project managed to garner any significant nomination. Though, I think Loki got snubbed, but that's another...
  16. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    And I'm pretty sure any of them could kick my ass so...
  17. DC original animated movies

    Crisis Part 3 dropped today. They actually wrapped it pretty good, and the "hook point" was actually rather novel. It does a good job of "clearing the slate" under the new DC management. The only new films in production, that I know of, is the new Watchmen adaption. If they handle things like...
  18. Studio Series discussion

    That makes a HUGE difference. Cel-shading, when done in moderation, can offer a REALLY nice pop to the visual look. Toei ALWAYS animated some sort of “reflection” on Prime’s windows in every episode they did. The omission removes a key visual “hook” to the animated series/movie. As it...
  19. Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    The 1 STep Cog Changers, Prime Changers, Mega Changers (Titan Changers), Robot Battlers and Powerflip Prime are mass retail items. Basically, stuff is shipping out to retailers, but most retailers haven’t made their “fall resets” yet. Typically, throughout August, retailers will change over...
  20. Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    July 14 was the official “launch day” for Hasbro’s Transformers One line. Online retailers are now selling Transformers One products, Entertainment Earth has preorders, but many items are in stock at Amazon. Rollout is haphazard, as is usual. Amazon has oddities like having Prime Changer...
