After a few leaked images from the UK Toy Fair, Jazwares has finally, officially, revealed their new Star Wars starship line: Micro Galaxy Squadron. It's basically Action Fleet. Each offering comes with a roughly 1" figure that is compatible with the whole range of vehicles being offered...

Well, it's just getting ridiculous now. The video game industry is in a fit consolidation, to the point we might as well have a dedicated thread: Sony is getting Bungie for 3.6 billion Square Enix sold off most of its western assets to Embracer Group for 300 million EA acquired Codemasters last...

I got Criteo throwing up some Tappytoon ads which are...not workplace appropriate.

Mark Maher also posted in hand images of Motormaster/Menasor. The most interesting image to me is the one where it appears you can have Motormaster AND Menasor posed separately. I think it REALLY opens up some novel ideas with retools. Reportedly, there’s Thunderclash alternate tooling, but...

Because the library was VERY niche with overly complicated hardware that was too expensive to produce. And Sony kind of dumped it pretty damn quick from a software support angle. Lots of JRPG stuff that weren’t available (until years later) on other devices. Plus people could access (most) of...

Truthfully, I initially didn’t even realize I was looking at a new mold for Override when I saw the first vehicle mode image. It had been so long since I even gave character, much less toy, serious thought. Looking at comparisons, I think it’s a fine “modern take” on the original design, which...

Fixed that for you :p

DK-3, likely a blue Trailbreaker

Comparison shots: https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/05/16/transformers-generations-selects-cyclonus-nightstick-in-hand-comparison-images-456291 I'm still torn whether to sell my existing Kingdom Cyclonus or just keep them both. Hell, I ended up with 2 versions of the deluxe one, why not the Voyager?!

Don't forget Lower Decks! :p And Paramount+ does have a decent little library of content. Halo has been pretty solid, and they've got Jackass Forever, Infinite and Snake Eyes: GI joe available to watch as well.

https://www.nda-toys.com/product/14068/disney-and-pixar-lightyear-hyperspeed-zurgs-mothership-wholesale Kind of small, IMO. Them electronics are getting expensive these days…though I hope there are provisions for the other drop pods besides the included one.

As I recall, they had loosened up their restrictions because he, along with Cheetor, Dinobot, and Hot shot were all made for the abbreviated 25th Anniversary initiative. So I don’t feel it’s fair to call them out for their other reasons because they relaxed them for an anniversary project...

https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/05/15/possible-new-street-dates-for-transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-gimmick-toyline-456235 More oddball retailer information about Rise of the Beast toys. The interesting thing is that European retailers have a street date of February of next year, where as the US...

Well, we ARE getting a retooled T30 Arcee in Studio Series, so I assume Whirl isn’t THAT impractical. But with Ironfist, while I think that would be an idea…we ARE getting (according to leaks) Crankcase in Legacy. I think that would be a FAR stronger option for a retool, and I know most of us...

Looking at the Wreckers AS A GROUP...it's not a bad set when taken as a whole. A nice selection of repaints, some new parts to spice things up, a nice deep cut, it's not a bad group of figures. But maybe we’ve been spoiled a bit? There’s noting overtly bad, but nothing that really “hits” like...

Minor update: Nintendo DID end up giving me a refund to the card, but I haven’t checked to see if the credit was still on my eShop account. Maybe they did discover an issue on their end?

Yeah, it’s hard to go back to Switch with some of the conveniences of modern consoles. As much as I might chaff under the impending digital future…being able to swap games without getting off my butt on my Series S has definitely spoiled me. I’ve been tempted by digital sales to “rebuy” a few...

It’s either Whirl or Rotorstorm in the image. But the most likely mold (Rotorstorm/Spinister), IIRC, doesn’t have provisions for that sort of under-cockpit weapons mounting. And nothing else is coming to mind for a deluxe/voyager attack helicopter in that style. If that is intended to be...

Oh, hey! The initial paint deco for Earthrise Optimus Prime slipped in there :p. I still miss those yellow eyes…

Feels like the show hit at the RIGHT time. Perhaps more than ever. A classic, hopeful, Star Trek? After what we got a decade ago with the film...who would have thunk it?
