For all intents and purposes, Hasbro has largely “given up” marketing the kids stuff at these sorts of events. A majority of collectors either don’t notice, don’t care, or complain about that segment’s inclusion. I don’t expect any news about Earthspark toys

Also, Super7 is REALLY starting to flex themselves, with the reveal of ReAction Trouble Bubbles and a Cobra Mothership (the one from the opening of ARAH season 1. Yes, reportedly, Super7 IS planning on offering this for sale. If Super7 starts offering 3.75” vehicles, that entire line could...

Tiger Force Flint was looking REALLY good until that face paint. I don’t mind the addition of it, but the application here (the black band across his eyes) is a bit..bland and lack personality, relative to what Tunnel Rat and Dusty ended up getting. While I applaud new concepts and idea, the...

Hot Shot will push $40, mark my words. It's not just the minicon, but the extra guns and blast effects as well. Also, that sure looks like an Armada Thrust from the cone head mold lurking back there...

They are going to get us on double dips before we even get Copper Kid, aren't they?

I fear the day they offer the Miraj

First images from Super7’s SDCC booth. Notable for me are the toy-deco Silverhawks figures, which feature a toy deco Buzzsaw and Vac Metal Steelhart and Quicksilver. https://toynewsi.com/345-48619

My observations, for whatever THAT is worth, was that MOTU Netflix was seemingly doing “okay”. In that, I saw some regular turn over and found new figures reasonably quickly. Then again, I also saw another Walmart with PILES of the stuff on clearance. But Mattel had a LOT of stuff on deck for...

Some…minor weirdness from Hasbro’s SDCC product display (that I could see, it seems to have been…OVERLOOKED by many sites). The placard for Core Voyager Rhinox lists a release date of October. Yet Walmart is LOADED with him at the moment. Placards for the Core Deluxe figures say…Available...

Boy, I think I might be irritating Carson Mataxis over on Facebook :p He's gotten some JUICY stuff concerning GI Joe 1995, with comments from Marketing Director Vinnie D'Alleva. But I had to open my gob and contradict some of the information. Not out of spite, but I felt Mr. D'Allleva's...

https://variety.com/2023/film/news/masters-of-the-universe-movie-dead-netflix-1235673281/ Looks like Netflix was balking at the costs for the film well before the strikes. With production on everything halted for an unknown amount of time, Netflix probably felt the film wasn’t worth stringing...

Weekend update, and it’s still just bad news for the film. While final numbers aren’t in, BOM estimates are generally close enough to interpret broad trends. And the trend for Flash is a continued train crash into a chasm that just get deeper and deeper… Weekend 5, roughly a month since...

Hasbro, basically, never marketed the $60 “Ultimate” Optimus Primal toy at all. All indications are this was a TakaraTomy deal that Hasbro was courteous enough to offer to import through its “fan channel” partners. Reportedly, this figure runs around $40 in Japan, but I think Hasbro added a...

Now, that’s just offensive.

Some in hand pictures of Ultimate Optimus Primal. Contrary to earlier reports/information, the figure is NOT 11”. Linked are images of comparison shots between UOP and the original Beast Wars Ultra Optimus Primal. They are practically the same size in beast mode, while Rise of the Beast gets...

It still feels weird to see stuff like the Toxitron capsule and see toys INTENTIONALLY lacking paint apps as we’ve been harking about that for years. Even weirder to see how much interest there IS for these items.

I’ve also found there to be more than a little bit of bias when it comes to reviews of films like Transformers. More than a few of them felt like the reviews were mostly written or a view established BEFORE even seeing the film. Bumblebee was well reviewed almost in SPITE of the general...

You guys want the toy news here? Okay… Amazon has the X-Jet up for order RIGHT NOW. Includes Storm https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-XMN-Vehicle-with-Figure/dp/B0BDHTNHSM?tag=enewsi-20 A little undersized, but at least Hasbro is including figures with its premium vehicle offerings. But they seem...
