Pratt’s voice isn’t bothering me. If anything, it seems like he’s trying (or being asked) to strike something of a balance between the high pitched Martinet style and the gruff, vaguely Italian, style of the DiC cartoons (which was how a LOT of people in the their 30s/40s remember his voice)...

If nothing else, that ending stinger REALLY helps recontextualize the entire prison arc. Seems a LOT of people were left wondering about the whole work prison thing to begin with, but the end products’ use DOES explain much of it: If you are building a major project in secret, you want as few...

Not a damned thing. Nothing gets resolved, the issue (only SLIGHTLY longer than a standard issue) ends on a “To Be Continued!?” It doesn’t clear the slate for 301, it didn’t even have the balls to use the mutagenic zombie bomb to establish a new status quo for the next publisher either...

I initially thought there was talk of MULTIPLE seasons. Then, last week, Tony Gilroy and co were talking about just a second season. Guess we'll see, though it seems another season is, indeed, confirmed and is now filming. Low viewership doesn't, necessarily, surprise me. The show DOES have...

Good thing Serpentor came in today to wash out the taste of Issue 300 out of my mouth. Few things have incensed me more than how this issue has been handled. I'll write out a good rant later, but the short version is that issue 300 is an insult to fans, and IDW, Hasbro and Hama all should be...

From everything reported over the past year…I feel it‘s quite probable the first one we saw (which now seems to be from the “core” line”) was probably developed based on preliminary work. When Snake Eyes underwent its frequent delays, Hasbro basically didn’t do anything with the “Ninja Core”...

An image cropped up of a mug supposedly featuring the Rise of the Beasts Maximal cast (Airrazor, Cheetor, Rhinos and Primal) in beast mode. https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/11/21/possible-first-look-at-rise-of-the-beasts-maximal-cast-470338 If accurate, I'm digging the season 1 crossed with Beast...

Disney’s Board of Directors have reinstated prior CEO Bob Igor just months after a 3-year extension to Bob Chapek’s contract. They were apparently dissatisfied with recent earnings report and reached out to Iger last Friday. Chapek found out he was canned Sunday evening. I mean, Chapek had...

It's that time of year! Sales and more sales! Nintendo has a big Cyber sale going on. Nothing of significance I noticed, in terms of particular discounts. Most are hitting their prior lows. But that doesn't mean there aren't deals to be had! Grid Autosport (a port of the PS3 era game) is...

Hasbro is not going to spend the resources to use 30+ year old cartoons as a foundation for their current initiatives. I still remember Gundam's momentum going off the rails when Bandai, in their infinite wisdom, thought a dub of 1979's original series was a valid next step after the success of...

InDemandToys has posted in package images of the first couple waves of Earthrise Deluxe, including image backs. These images have revealed the last of the initial “Mandroid Series” figures: Nightshade and Grimlock. I’m eager to see Grimlock in action, and what little I see of the design seems...

Oh, details, details.... :p I just wanted to add that I love the electronica score here. It's been ages since we got a fresh audio "personality" for a series, especially with "epically, epicness" seems to dominate in the post-movie era. A LOT of that battle music jostled old Season 3 of G1...

Depends on the age of the hospital or even the "area". Different areas can have "different energy" depending on what occurred there. I work at a hospital which was built back in the 60s and built onto over the years. There are places (like Central Stores, which was a morgue at one point, or...

Hasbro has been doing the solid case thing since AT LEAST 2015. It was one of the earliest things they did in their big collector initiatives. They made a big fuss about it during their investor reports. Specialty retailers have the option of ordering solid cases of most active collector...

Y'know, it's probably a good thing the Silverhawks Ultimates got pushed back to next year. Hasbro's rolled a TON of stuff forward, wrecking my budget.

Hasbro offers most of its collector-oriented products as single case items. More than likely, BBTS just hasn’t gotten their single cases of Skullgrin yet, or were prioritizing the “full set” orders before filling the partial wave orders.

I just got notice that Legacy Voyager wave 3 (Armada Starscream and Inferno) are preparing to ship from Hasbro Pulse.

That Airrazor is a GPS time bomb waiting to happen. My only lamentation thus far is the probability of "movie coloring" where these great designs are rendered a bit "dull" by lackluster colors. Airrazor looks okay, but the early shot of the Primal kids' toy showed a distinct lack of color on...

Got a question in Jhiaxus: I've seen him at retail several times, but I upped and ordered him via the Amazon coupon (which made Iguanus, basically, free). Came in today and...it looks...off. I know his chest and face are painted so it wasn't going to match the molded in yellow parts, but mine...

FWIW, I did my meager part in voting against Republicans across the board. Not that I expect it to have much impact in Oklahoma. Hell, even the “Democrat” candidate was originally a Republican, though probably not a huge deal since about EVERYONE in this state skews conservative to some degree.
