The disrupted release slate won't just affect consumers. The theatre industry, still reeling from the pandemic, could be dealt another crippling blow if the strike goes long enough to create an every slimmer release slate...

I disagree. In 1998, Hasbro paid a mere $5 million for all of the consumer Atari assets and IP. Even though Atari, the gaming company, was largely irrelevant by the mid-90s, the names and IP still retained value. Especially as 80s/retro nostalgia started to kick in around the turn of the...

From what I’ve half assed researched, Hasbro Interactive was largely successful. The division posted a loss in 1999, but that could well have been attributed to over-aggressive expansion and investment done in 1998. What ultimately killed Hasbro Interactive was the dot-com burst. Hasbro’s (and...

I mean, I can see several factors you COULD point to. Among them the…questionable…quality of prior films barring the name. Maybe audience were getting a little “fantasy fatigued” given the amount of fantasy series released in the fall of 22 (House of the Dragon, Rings of Power, Willow, Wheel...

It actively blows my mind that for all their fuss about making a AAA game development studio within Wizards of the Coast, they missed out on buying SquareEnix’s western assets for a measly $300 million. Hell, gaining the experience and resources of Crystal Dynamics ALONE would have been worth...

Y’know… If Hasbro designed a two part “Minicon combiner”, you could still get the two heads as helmet type accessories and maybe even incorporate a flip down faction panel. Then you could eliminate the “split sigil” on the front of the bike. Or slap a Mercenary or Unicron sigil on there.

Yeah, sounds like Hasbro is just offloading the TV and film production assets and the media assets that don’t align with Hasbro franchise focus (while popular, Yellowjackets and The Rookie are hardly the kinds of properties that fit Hasbro’s IP catalog). But they are keeping Peppa Pig and PAW...

So, I guess Renegade Games not only announced a Transformers themed version of RoBo Rally, but a new GI Joe board game using Axis and Allies as a foundation. Called GI Joe: Battle for the Arctic Circle...

But are the bad points AS BAD as those found in prior Michael Bay directed entries?

I was simple, I just got my order in for Bombshell (them Insecticons sell out fast online) and Detritus. I'm a touch surprised Hasbro didn't up and use the Mercenary symbol for him instead of the weird dual symbol thing they got going on.

This show is basically an anime Lois and Clark and I’m totally here for it.

Like I said back when it came out: I think Rise of the Beasts did an excellent job balancing those audience expectations while not indulging to baser elements the “Bay films” frequently gravitated towards. And I think the improved US box office is reflective of that. Speaking of Box...

My snarky side immediately went to seeing the humor in, for the 40th Anniversary, making a literal G1 toy with knees. I could see this as a nice compromise in a number of areas. Hasbro’s tooling base for reissues is diminishing (and we’re already seeing a LOT of redo on that front), while the...

Meant to post on this a while back, but still relevant: If you plan on moving to California or Florida and don’t have property insurance? You’re probably screwed. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/homeowners-go-without-insurance-in-states-where-its-too-expensive-rcna88578

Given the endless delays, and the original expected date of next spring, I guess my expectation/assumption was that the film was pretty far along in production (given the greater lead times for animation). My take on it was that Sony was, effectively, “saving a trump card”, so to speak. They...

Sony is the first to blink. They just announced a significant reorganization of their 2024 film slate. Among the more notable date shifts is Kraven (due this October) got pushed all the way to next August (nearly a year delay), and the removal of Spiderverse 3 from the slate completely. Sony...

The Strikes are starting to affect release dates. Sony pushed Kraven back from October to August of 2024.

So…Season 1 has been out for a week. I like the mini campaign associated. hell, I actually DID like the overall story campaign, even if it felt a little too ambitious for nature of the game itself. It had some nice twists and explored some relatively new ideas in regards to the nature of the...

Outriders were the beastly creatures Thanos used as shocktroops during the Avengers Infinity films.
