We’ll see how the others turn out. My best guess is that we’ll see the other figures get “super cartoon accurate” decos (including painted/solid windows instead of clear plastic), similar to the Buzzworthy Cliffjumper. While Hound is the clear highlight for most, a “more accurate” or “no clear...

Roughly. Depends if they’re 3.75 sized or 1:18 scaled (there IS a difference). The term “action figure set” makes me think of a one off type item. Probably the 84 team, if we’re lucky, they’ll get some articulation in addition to a figure set. Amazon is posting listings as well, with...

In response to legislation in several states, Pornhub is blocking access to their site in protest. The protest stems from unreasonable and problematic requirements states are trying to enforce on adult sites, including accessing personal ID information. Currently, five states are cut off from...

It's the same deals as when those no-name DVD distributors were able to put early WB cartoons on those $1 DVDs. The copyrights expired on the earliest Warner Bros cartoons, allowing them to be redistributed. There is nothing Disney can do to prevent people from redistributing the original...

Target leaked a few new toys, including promo pics for the Paranormal Discovery Slimer, Zap and Blast Proton Blaster, and the Track and Trap Ecto-1. https://toynewsi.com/278-51124 The Echo-1 is interesting in that it looks like a retool of the Afterlife Echo-1, replacing the flat windshield...

I expect at LEAST a couple waves of Plasma Series. But I think it'll be a LOT more like Indiana Jones, with a hefty number of retailer exclusives, and about a dozen retail figures over the year. I expect Slimer, even if he ends up a BAF to get you to get the kids.

I don’t know, I kind of feel like it’s being a bit cheaty to label the large, $100+ figures as “best of the year” given that, for that price, THEY SHOULD BE! I’ve gotten a pile of stuff this year, but haven’t been able to really get into much. But I will say the Beast Alliance Battlemasters...

Got a question for you Ghostbusters diehards: The Fright Features figures are REALLY triggering some nostalgia, so I’m thinking, maybe, snag an Ecto 1 to go with them. The options (thus far) are the Kenner REissue Ecto 1 (around $30-35) or the Afterlife basic Ecto 1 (around $20). Both seem to...

I don’t know, Wonko. My faith in humanity is on pretty shaky ground after the past decade or so.

The only reason I had any association with Barry Allen, the character, was because of his inclusion in the 1990 Flash TV show. My one big ting of regret about the CW Flash show was how quickly it dumped the “CSI with superheroes” angle they teased early on (and the old TV show DID make an...

New movie means...NEW TOYS! Found at an Austin, TX area toy store, Hasbro has a new series of "kids figures" on deck. Look about 5-6" scale with the kids being a bit shorter than adults. Each figure appears 5 POA and include a ghost figure. Also seen was a "Squash and Squeeze" Slimer deluxe...

TOY LEAKS HAVE BEGUN! From Silver Optimus at TFW2005, confirmation of Transformers One toys having an on-shelf (aka, street date) of August 1. This is right in time for the holiday resets (which means we'll see a couple weeks of people fussing because retailers work on their own schedules). In...

Best Buy is running a 3 Day Sale, one of the specials is 30% off most in stock Hasbro collectibles. Includes Transformers, GI Joe and Marvel, at least. For Transformers, they carry the following: Titans Black Zarak and Cybertron Metroplex Deluxe WFC Barricade, Animated Prowl, Selects Magnificus...

That was Steven Spielberg’s fault. Michael Bay was recommended by film producer Steven Spielberg PERSONALLY. Spielberg even went out of his way to convince Bay to take on Transformers.

Even then, he saw the sinking ship and helped right things with Bumblebee. I’d also argue with the “long term franchise damage” since we’re still in a better spot than pre-movie…but that’s another discussion.

I try and stay out of these sorts of discussions…but I have to agree here. With Bob Chapek, he got dealt some bad cards for his run and he wasn’t able to handle them sufficiently. But he clearly seemed to have a passion for the company and I think he wasn’t the worst option. He was clearly...

I just got a payment notice for ReActivate Bumblebee and Starscream. While I don’t think they’ll hit before Christmas, before New Years IS quite doable. Guess they will make good on the delivery date. I ended up cancelling Prime and Soundwave. As much as I dig Prime, I have so many, and...

So, looks like GI Joe is closing out a strong year. Despite issues last year with the fallout of the "non-event" Snake Eyes film, 2023 seems to have been a good year for the brand, with Hasbro even citing brand growth in its investor reports. Seems the momentum with the strong Classified line...

He's after yer booty!

Looking at the Tidal Wave art…I’m at a lost to decipher the characters. I’m just seeing a bunch of car/truck characters, and given the number of release venues (mainline, capsule, exclusives, Selects…), they could be anybody. The blue one and yellow one in the water seem to share elements...
