I think it's a toss up if those Retro 40th listings are for straight reissues, or something like the Retro Headmasters where we get a modern toy with retro packaging (something Walmart has carried before, like GI Joe Classified Retro figures) The sad thing? I might be game for some modern toys...

Probably the most on topic post we've ever received from a bot.

Quickly? He was released SEVEN years ago. :p That said, I DO see Commander evolving into less "big, not quite Titan big" to "bigger, more complex, leaders". I mean, potential Commander caliber figures (that haven't been done in Titan or fairly recently) that come to mind are: Overlord, Dai...

As I think about it, some of the issues I’m encountering is this: What kind of gimmick would 2025 feature? It would have been 3 years (and 3 imprints) done, which, at least was, about the time for a new “trilogy theming”. That said, Legacy has been a big shift with each year being defined by...

Wrestling Legend Terry Funk, best known as a pioneer in the death match and popularizing the "hardcore" match in mainstream wrestling, passed today at age 79 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/terry-funk-wwe-wrestling-icon-dies-age-79/ Not to make light of one's passing, but I can't help but find the...

Aside from the 2021 reissue, Hasbro hasn't done a new Devastator since 2015. Given their willingness to "play the long game", I could see them doing new and improved Voyagers of the Constructicons over the course of 3 years (2 per year)

I’m not sure any of us REALLY appreciated how great the 90s were in regards to toys. 80s gave us the long lasting brands, 2000s gave us nostalgia redos….but the 90s gave us the REALLY weird jive we will never see outside of the online-only boutique lines.

I tell ya, some days, reading is hard

I refuse to believe Mirage was ever THAT big a shelf warmer in either of its decos. All I remember of the Energon days were the Ironhides. Just...so many...so many...

Speaking of Rudy…turns out lying for a narcissist with a history of not paying anyone isn’t a good idea. He’s broke: https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/rudy-giuliani-donald-trump-legal-bills/

Just some quick analysis from me on Studio Series: MV6 Frenzy I suspect is a misname for 86 Frenzy. I think Rumble popped up as “MV6 Rumble” at one point. ”Next Gen Bumblebee” strikes me as a new BB from the new Transformers game ”HM Megatron” is odd. I’d say “High Moon” Megatron, but we...

While you all are going back and forth about a 3 year old mold we’ve gotten a ton of already…JtPrime posted new listings, including a Star Seeker sub line for Walmart next year. My biggest sad face about that is the lack of the original mass market pirate, Cannonball...

“On advice of his legal council” he says. *chortle* His lawyers were probably like: ”For the love of GOD, don’t dig this jive hole any deeper than you already have, you orange leathered man-child!” But probably more condescending so Trumpy wouldn’t get his feelings hurt.

Dial of Destiny will be released on Digital on August 28th. Disney+ viewing will probably be in later September. With an estimated budget of $295 million, the film has managed to scratch out $375 million at the WORLDWIDE box office, with the domestic box office unlikely to go far beyond $173...

I really should up and get my own blog or something to post about some of these toys. But until I do, you will all suffer with me! Spin Master is gearing up for a new phase of toys this fall. Because they, functionally, don’t promote their kids stuff, I’m only finding bits and pieces of...

Probably worth posting here. Destin over at IGN posted a compelling response to some of the "backlash" Baldur's Gate 3 has received from some development circles. Since we don't have a dedicated BG3 thread (and I haven't had time to start something as big as that yet), I figured here was a...

That's the one for "the casuals". The real fans go full bore with the trailer and toy accuracy. ( :p ) I'm wondering/hoping, given the lead time, if we aren't getting a remake of the US box, or at least an English version of the Japanese remix of the box. Especially given they can't ship it...

Not sure where to put this, but since I’m comparing it to other RotB toys… One of “those toy reviewers” got their hands on Studio Series Optimus Primal, images have been ganked from the video. In addition to shots of the figure itself, there are comparisons of other Voyager releases and with...

Preorders for toy styled Quicksilver, Steelhart, MonStar and Buzzsaw are up. Along with the vac metal styling, both the Silverhawks lose a number of accessories. MonStar gets a new alternate head and deco, but fewer overall accessories. Same with Buzzsaw (new deco, new alt head, but overall...

Earlier in the week, we also lost film director William Friedkin. He left an indelible mark on cinema as the director of quintessential buddy cop film, The French Connection, and the iconic horror film, The Exorcist. He was 87...
