  1. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    They left ample teases for a third season. It will all depend on the streaming numbers. I don’t think anything produced anymore is without its share of “bitching”. It will just depend on if people are bothering to watch it. And I liked it! The biggest change for the better WAS halving the...

    *Spongebob meme* A COUPLE ‘OURS LAY-TER… Vince McMahon has “resigned” from all positions within TKO Holdings. https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2024/1/26/24052356/vince-mcmahon-resigns-tko-wwe
  3. Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    I don’t know how to feel about this: The hospital I work at uses KnowBe4, a cyber security training company. Part of that includes being able to post “vigilance” posters offered by them. And let’s just say, some MAJOR nerds work there. One that got posted this week in the elevator? It was a...
  4. Generations Selects Appreciation Thread

    News got posted over at the Legacy thread, but JtPrime posted a new retail listing for new Selects/Retail Exclusives: Target is getting a themed retailer exclusive Optimus Prime (Laser) with ER trailer and Bullseye (Ravage repaint), along with another 86 movie death pack (Ratchet and Brawn). One...
  5. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Might be an issue where just the individual figure assortments did poorly, but the sets might have done better? To be fair, we DO need deluxe Seaspray and Powerglide first… I’m still surprised we’ve yet to see Hasbro leverage retro packaging akin to what they did with the Headmasters (old...
  6. Generations Selects Appreciation Thread

    To be fair, with some of the recent multipacks, they HAVE been including those alternate parts...so it's not out of line to think that possibility
  7. Studio Series discussion

    I seem to recall issues years back where people tried to associate to each 07-series by number...but since NONE of the films used numerals and nobody could remember which came when...we all settled on abbreviations of the titles rather than by the numeric sequence.

    The lighting in those pics is WAY blown out, too. There were a couple other pic at TFW in more natural lighting which shows Trailbreaker seems to have a charcoal color, closer to the animation model. Wheels are cast in the same color, but if you have DK Breaker, you could swap the wheels. And...
  9. Studio Series discussion

    Beast Machines is marginalized enough, you guys aren't taking away its initialism! FWIW, Primalxconvoy, the retail listings say MV6 (Bumblebee) Sunstreaker, not "Gamer" or "HM (High Moon)". My feeling is that there were a number of 84-86 characters conceptualized for the Cybertron sequences...

    Pulse Premium was pretty good for store exclusives (and, YMMV, still is), but outside of Walmart’s stuff, Hasbro has been pretty good about cycling overstock, reruns, and the other major retailers HAVE stepped up to improve availability. And all considered, I’d rather give my money to Hasbro...

    Eh, we’ll probably get another round of 84-86 in about 10-15 years when costs force the average deluxe down to the size of a core. Or when the need to match Sunbow character models gets exhausted (which is probably a factor in the alt mode complaint, the team is prioritizing the robot mode over...

    Look! It’s Mister McGrumpypants himself! https://www.allspark.com/first-look-at-legacy-united-gears/ Entertainment Earth has a notification for a Transformers drop on Tuesday (they all but state it’s Tidal Wave), but with Silverbolt known and Gears leaked, we might see more of wave 2 United...
  14. Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    There is also the fact that the Ark is the only known starship on Earth, with who knows how much damage. While they COULD have scavenged parts from the Ark, it might impair their ability to repair the ship later on. Starscream likely viewed his fellow soldiers as more expendable than trying to...
  15. Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    Deductions can be difficult, given the lack of price points and any information concerning the film. It’s also probable that Hasbro is taking a different approach to the expressions, given the different nature of the film (from what we know). RotB was built around that big team up between the...
  16. Ghostbusters General

    There’s that Squash and Squeeze Slimer toy. Not to scale with any of the toys, but it’s pretty nice for a mass market retail offering from Hasbro. Also, if you guys liked the Bounty Collection, Hasbro’s doing it again for Ghostbusters: The Ecto Collection, featuring Slimer and the mini-puffs...
  17. Ghostbusters General

    Does it still have the back hatch door? Again, it looks like the 2021 version got some retooling done, and I’m curious if that element retained. And again, it looks like Hasbro fixed the windshield (the 2021 version was “flatter”, messing up the vehicle profile more than the off scaling...

    I was really disappointed Hasbro didn’t stretch the Afterlife line with even a “kid line” set of RGB figures. I know the Kenner reissues are a thing, but you know Hasbro can do better with modern design techniques.

    So, word is that disappointing sales of earlier Buzzworthy Deluxe figures lead to the cancellation of the Hound/ DotM Hatchet wave. Hound is getting released in a multipack…and I think Hasbro could do the same with Hatchet. Base the set on the “Highway Pursuit” sequence, pack in Crowbar and...
  20. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    I still maintain that Sigma 6 was the last truly great action figure product we’ve seen. I still think had it come out just 2-3 years sooner? The GI Joe brand would have gone in a much different direction. But the toys? The presentation, the detail, the accessibility, the styling, nothing...
