It’s (semi) official- Rise of the Beasts has crossed $150 million at the US box office. The first Transformers film to do so since Age of the Extinction in 2014. Worldwide is still lagging behind Bumblebee at $411 million, but there are still several major markets yet to see it open and results...

Jokes on them, most are already starving!

From the information I’ve seen…no? Unless retailers are getting some wacky mixes, he shouldn’t be. The Turtles are shipping by themselves with the side characters relegated to another assortment. So unless Playmates IS weighing the assortments to certain characters, they should be even. The...

More images of the “Ultimate” Optimus Primal toy. Not the animatronic, but the upsized Core Voyager with peg support, extra articulation and fold out weapons. I still see people demeaning this compared to the fiddly mess that the Studio Series Leader is apt to be. I’m a little sad this didn’t...

I’ve got ooo-baby on my ignore list. The only reason I even know these threads are still active is when somebody bumps them and I see them in the recent thread activity or last thread response on the main page. But I LOVE the New Adventures shout outs! I’m still waiting for Mattel to give me...

A major quote being spread around is from Disney CEO Bob Iger, calling guilds’ demands as “adding new challenges in addition to those faced” by the industry. That the guilds must “be realistic on the business environment and what it can deliver”. As Iger stands to get a base compensation...

Following the lead of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), who began their strike back in May, the SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) has joined them this evening. The core cast of Oppenheimer walked out during the film’s premiere due to the call...

I don’t know…Hasbro has been doing these crossover nods between the franchises for decades, to varying degrees. Obviously, Hasbro and Paramount really seem to be eyeing a crossover film (adding the stinger to Rise of the Beasts), but I’m hesitant to read too much into this aside from a fun nod...

I beat The Butcher! Granted, I'm still on Tier 1 and I'm really overleveled at 55 with full slate of synergystic legendaries...but I still held my own with my Druid!

The Mole Rat is a stealth Transformers crossover: Apparently, Mole Rats are Cobra’s diggers/excavators, and this figure shows someone suffering unpleasant side effects from mining a volatile mineral called…Dark Energon! Nifty design. Shooter is a nice deep cut, and some nice revised details...

Heh, Twitter’s API changes have broken Box Office Mojo. BOM was going through another phase of “no writers to write weekend summaries/predictions” so they were just showing their Twitter account with daily updates. That embed was recently removed because users couldn’t actually see the tweets...

With Skywarp's hands being separate pieces, how much do you think it increases the odds Powered Convoy gets two left hands?

I mean, it's the SAME people footage from the final film. Instead of running from Freezer, they start running from Cheetor before Rhinox tries to gore them. Not a flattering first impression.

Some more concept art has been collected by TFW. More explorations of Mirage's look, including different head and body shapes. More stuff with Bloodhound and key frame visuals. Probably the most interesting are numerous design explorations of Scourge, including a number of different "masks"...

A young man I work with (because I’m old AF at this point) binged Age of Extinction and Last Knight back to back. I warned him not to, but he was foolish. He did not enjoy the experience and still can’t keep the two films separate in conversation. I guess that’s what happens when you watch...

Hey! Rise of the Beasts is shaping up to be the best domestic performing Transformers film since Age of Extinction in 2014! Despite a slate of new releases, and dropping to number 8 on the charts, Transformers only saw a 32% revenue decline and still pulled another $5 million. The film is...

After 4 weekends, The Flash has dropped out of the top 10. It is also playing down to 1700 locations (a loss of nearly 1000 locations from the weekend prior), and returns dropped nearly 60% from the weekend prior. My suspicion is that, had this not been a major superhero tentpole from Warner...

I still think they at least did a good job in justifying Prime’s aggressive behavior far more than in prior films. And, if they build off this film as they seem to want, we could get some character development from that. AND, at least his personality is consistent. I remember in most of the...

Want more news about upcoming kids toys? Too bad, you’re getting some anyway! Guardians of the Galaxy basically looks done. I haven’t heard anything about a follow up assortment and places like Target are starting to dump the line. Since Hasbro doesn’t talk about this segment, it’s still...

Sometimes, Hasbro CAN get a bit clever ;). In addition to the 4” figures for X-Men 97, images have surfaced of a Titan Series (12” sized) Sentinel. So, at the very least, the X-Men will have a Sentinel to fight when these figures reach saturation. https://marvelousnews.com/252-33445
