Just from what I’ve gathered from Wikipedia, David Zaslav seems like a pure “business guy”. Someone who can allocate resources, but really doesn’t care about the CONTENT so long as it doesn’t impact the bottom line. A sound manager, but not a creator. And I’m not sure he really grasps the...

I mean, regardless how bad, it still featured a major brand character with a supporting role from Micheal Keaton as Batman (beating the Flash as his first appearance of the character in 30 years). At 80-90 million? You might as well just dump it on HBO Max as planned and take the critical hit...

You get Scourge and swift kick to the wallet because it's exclusive.

Tomy owns Ertl. Just sayin…

So, I’m going to stop back in and wish for some more Throttlebots, now that I got Goldbug. Wide load and Rollbar are maybe out of contention, but the other 3 are COMPLETELY within reason with (by current design team standards, it seems) relatively little retooling. New feet, maybe a new back...

I think that’s the general expectation. Even so, there’s enough “flourish” within those changes I’d be willing to snag him again, even if he sports classic Hot Rod colors. That said, I wouldn’t mind his “season 2” Lost Light look with the shades of blue and purple just for something different...

Lol, and I got a PM within half an hour asking for one! And just to clarify what happened, my local crap hole Walmart has been terrible about stocking for YEARS (and continues to be). For some odd reason, they got LOADED with Netflix wave 2 deluxe. Until Voyager wave 3, they never carried...

Good thing I've got a couple spare Netflix Bumblebees from when my store marked them down. Might be solid trade fodder. I'll keep an eye out. My local store is usually bit behind the new modular sets, and prior years I've had great success with the deluxe figures. Not so much with the...

At least Thor made money :p Snake Eyes was a fairly significant disappointment. Last I heard, budgeted around 80 million, total WORLDWIDE gross was only 40 million. Opening on the back end of the pandemic, it faced competition from Black Widow, Old, and Space Jam 2 after being pushed up from...

I'm starting to wonder how much of that is legit dislike, or just something that has spread secondhand to the point it is an accepted truth. Kind of like how, for many years, Gundam X was said to be this horrible, near franchise destroying, abomination...but from western audiences that I know...

Emily from Hasbro said inventory will be going up everyday through Monday. I also think the fact there isn't another Dr Mindbender is helping fuel sales. Zartan was nice, but there was already a Zartan available by that point. There is also some "here say" going around (since nobody has...

Serpentor (WITH AIR CHARIOT) will be the Pulsecon exclusive. They also announced Low Light and the Flight Pod as being in the pipeline. Early renders were shown of Copperhead, Shipwreck, Torpedo, and Rock 'N Roll. The final Retro carded retail figures will be Snake Eyes and Crimson Guard...

That bit ALONE has vastly increased my hopes for this series. That’s showing a focus on character and design and the intermingling of the two. Don’t think we’ve really seen that since Animated (kibble chair forever!)

STILL better than the garbage Scout Cyberverse toys! By and large, from what I've seen, the line seems like a solid step up from what Cyberverse offered. I hate to say something so hyperbolic and inflammatory, but I think Cyberverse was the WORST product line we've ever seen for the brand...

My mother is pushing me to watch the Primetime January 6 hearing. but I only have it on the side. It's just affirming everyone I knew or suspected, and the people who NEED to hear this will either not watch or scoff at whatever is aired anyway.

Emily from Hasbro said that stock was being "staggered" over the course of the weekend. So you should have additional chances to snag Mindbender. Sgt. Slaughter is up for preorder, Pulse sold out in seconds, but all the other major online guys have him (I got him from BBTS)

I snagged her on preorder, missed out on Cosmos. But I've had very good luck with the deluxe figures hitting my local Walmart so I'm willing to take the chance. Glad to see Starscream's thrusters fold down, that made him an instant buy. Megatron isn't flattering, but I'm sure better images...

New Adventures is getting representation in both Origins (part of a 4 pack that will probably be individual at some point) and Masterverse (which looks a bit like Anson Mount?). I’m excited! Also, yeah, LOTS of Snakemen (troop builders?) plus a Snake Armor Skeletor of some sort and 2K Snake...

Was milk or coffee creamer used? THAT’S the important question! Or did you double dip and use coffee on your coffee cereal?

Yeah, I see a lot of “wish fulfillment“ in some of those segments, but I think stuff like this can be more effective with a few more “generic/non-iconic” types of bodies. The ability to insert yourself into the fantasy WITHOUT stepping on the shoes of your favorite character. I’m sure a LOT of...
