Wave 2 of X-Men 97 Legends got leaked (?). Featuring Magneto (M costume), Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Goblin Queen and X-Cutioner (!). Presumably, that means these characters will have roles in the new animated series...whenever Disney gets around to airing the damn thing. Preorders this...

More details on the positions being..."streamlined". Notably, several are high up on Wizards of the Coast, which Hasbro was singing the praises of just a few weeks ago ("record years" for both brands)...

Entertainment Earth is doing one better for $90.99! https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/transformers-generations-legacy-titan-metroplex/hsf2986

I think the ultimate problem with E3 was it could never decide what kind of show it wanted to be, especially when you have the rise of things like Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) largely taking the show’s role from a fan angle. I think there was a chance to skew it closer to a “Toy Fair” type industry...

I can’t WAIT for when Grok starts replying to Alex Jones (who’s being allowed back on, btw) https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/09/business/alex-jones-restored-x-elon-musk-poll/index.html

I fully expect Nemesis Enforcer to be a deluxe figure of some sort. The fact Hasbro is openly talking about him makes me optimistic that he’ll end up a “mass release” deluxe figure, with articulated wing and tentacle sets. Plus, probably, extending arm blades and some Cobra La...

Don‘t know what I was expecting, but Wheeljack didn’t turn out as…elegant…as I was thinking. I think it’s the big boots he ended up with. Tidal Wave looks fantastic, in a general sense. My biggest nitpick is that the head feels a little too tall and thin. He’s always had a tall, rectangular...

Here’s Digital Foundry’s breakdown on the Trilogy. Knight looks rough and is practically unplayable (especially during vehicle sections), the other two actually use old PC version code base (negating some of the visual complaints from the Return to Arkham remaster) but suffer performance...

I have found many of the complaints about the port to be…peculiar. Especially in regards to visuals. Compared to a LOT of cross gen ports, Arkham Knight isn’t THAT much worse than some others seen, on a visual level. The biggest failing is in the minute to minute performance- being unable to...

I have ZERO issues with a 4” GI Joe line. The issue I DO have is that (based on the context of the rumors), is with a “GI joe Vintage Collection”. I’m not sure it is good for the brand to be “slicing up” its collector base on Hasbro’s front. Moreover, after seeing how Hasbro handles Star Wars...

Tomorrow’s reveals got leaked a little early https://news.hisstank.com/2023/12/06/new-g-i-joe-classified-in-box-images-of-big-boa-techno-viper-and-more-85382 In package shot of Retro Recondo, promo shots of the next wave, due to feature Big Boa, Airborne, TechnoViper and Quick Kick. Recondo...

I'll clarify my position on 4" later but... Walmart has GI Joe stuff on sale, including the WM exclusive Alley Viper Crimson Alley Viper- 11.97 Retro Baroness- 7.97 Retro Lady Jane- 4.97(!) Retro Destro- 14.97 Snake Eyes and Timber (2023 version)- 22.00 Retro Stalker (4")- 4.97 Crimson Viper-...

I think even Hasbro was a bit surprised at the success of the HasLab vehicles, and that’s what is giving rise to GI Joe, effectively, getting a Titan caliber product category. I think that price point (and vehicles like the Thunder Machine, Snowcat, Slugger, Water Mocassin, STUN, Wolf, etc)...

Guess this reveal kind of puts the kibosh on my little hope of getting a redeco’d Earthrise Optimus Prime in a retro G1 box (like the Headmaster Retro releases)

More leaks before a presumed preorder launch next week, in package shots of Airborne, Action Sailor, Retro Duke and Scarlett. https://news.hisstank.com/2023/12/02/g-i-joe-classified-retro-scarlett-and-duke-with-airborne-first-package-shots-85360 Action Soldier and Big Boa package shots leaked...

I think Super7 is acutely aware of the general response from the GI Joe fandom when it came to ReAction. I think they KNOW they could tap a not-insignificant pool of collectors by skewing closer to the original 80s toys. I suspect they’re hoping the increased volume will offset the increased...

I imagine they’ll find a median in that. The Mothership Vipers show new tooling evocative of the original Viper (in the lower arms, waist and legs), rather than a straight recreation of the original. My “gut instinct” is that we’ll end up with something akin to how Classified and Ultimates...

Also, if you have any digital purchases from the PS4 days (or, select PS1/PSP titles), they ARE linked to your account. I found an extra dozen games available to me because Sony FINALLY started to get all that stuff up and going for purchases I made a decade ago.

For intents and purposes, Spider-Man: Homecoming is a Miles Morales film with a Peter Parker “overlay”. So that should help with some of the character contexts. And don’t forget Astro’s Playroom! For a free “tech demo”, it has enormous charm and a love for the PlayStation brand that Sony...

I’ve seen this crop up at several sites and in the “fan reissue request”…but I KNOW they’ve reissued Omega at LEAST twice since his original release, plus the Selects Guardian Robot. I’m still baffled that there remains THAT MUCH demand after all these runs AND a repaint. Especially for a...
