That's my birthday! But it doesn't look like the local AMC will be airing though.... I'll keep an eye out though

I leveraged Walmart pricing shenanigans to nab the first wave of Legacy Deluxe for $13 a piece! Though, not as good as when I got the first wave of Titans Return at launch for $2

At least the corporation is smart enough to recognize how important things like eco-conservation and acceptance of equality are to its survival and bottom line. If I'm going to be under the thrall of a corporation, at least I'm being entertained by Disney's content. Under the GOP, I'm one of...

Walmart is doing a new reset this week (or has done, depending on your location). At MY location, they're clearing out Kingdom stuff. Deluxes $13 and Voyagers were $21. Could be a good chance to pick up stuff you had passed on. Or build your fossilizer armory, like I did getting an extra...

Umm...hello?

That's just sound advice for all walks of life.

So….I guess my Machine Wars Starscream remold comment isn’t totally out of left field after all… WHO’s the Beast Machines fan so we know who to petition for Titan Grand Mal Megatron?

Bah, people said Devastator would bomb because the parts weren't articulated enough. They said Predaking wouldn't sell because of his lack of detail. I'm pretty sure Hasbro has a solid idea of how well this might sell. And even if it doesn't sell AS WELL as prior ones, then Hasbro will...

Whelp, things just got weird

Didn't find a dedicated Sonic thread, but.... With the movie doing well, and a new fancy 3D game still purportedly due later this year, Sega is striking while the iron is hot. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sonic-origins-is-remastered-classic-sonic-collection-coming-june-23/1100-6502606/...

Guess this means Grant Gustin will be available to pick up the DC movies Flash role after Ezra Miller's shenanigans seem to have gotten him fired.

Yeah, not sure where you're trying to go with that given Cybertron Metroplex was last available in 2006...SIXTEEN years ago. I'm actually impressed with how Metroplex turned out. I really DO think they managed to address a good number of flaws of the original toy. I like the revised Brute...

The Legends wave. That's definitely Natalie Portman's face https://news.toyark.com/2022/04/18/thor-love-and-thunder-marvel-legends-revealed-465083

Toys are starting to dribble out to retail, but toy distributors like Entertainment Earth have started their preorders with estimated release between May and July, with a few odd items in September. Looks like June is when they expect to get a majority of the line’s items. Note that the toys...

And it was stupid for other fundamental reasons. The whole point in being an IP company is to leverage your media to license out and make money. Disney or Warner don't make new Batman or Spider-Man cartoons to "stand on their own". They aren't made for an artistic expression. They're made to...

I find it hard to disagree with that. The last decade has really felt like Hasbro wants the big pay off of being an “IP company” but has been unwilling or unable to commit the time and resources of doing it, or willing to pay to do it WELL. With the broader direction of the action figure...

Just speaking for myself…while I’m more than able to create my own fiction for the toys…sometimes you really need the “seed” of the idea. I strongly feel that ALL lines, but especially cross generation lines, need some sort of “narrative hook”. A justification of not only getting the...

I think my Walmart still has a bunch of those sitting on the shelf

What are you...? Oh. Oh my... That packaging just hits ALL the right notes on me. I wanted to cut back, but I might have to get one or two just for the packaging. Though Discovery (and I assume other recent Trek shows will get this design) looks pretty sharp too.
