This. I loved both these lines. I feel like Kre-O needed a bit of modification in it's approach (keep the focus on the micro changers for "standard" sized characters, with the larger building sets being large figures like Metroplex, Trypticon, Grandus, or playsets like the Ark, the Nemesis...
Honestly, I would love to see live action Kung Fu Panda with Jack Black wearing a wish.com panda costume. Only buy one and film the scenes in order so that the costume gets progressively dirtier/more torn up as the film goes on.
Rough estimate counting pixels and assuming that the hex is 0.227" point-to-point (based on holding a 5mm cylinder), I'm getting the car to be around 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" long. Small for a Voyager, but it looks like they're going for the "high parts count / complexity" pricing scheme, which isn't...
From In Demand Toys on Facebook, we have a full reveal of War for Cybertron Ironhide. This Voyager Class toy is a repaint / remold of the previously released War for Cybertron Ratchet and converts from a vaguely Southern robot to a Cybertronian van in 28 steps. Full gallery is below:
Got...
Yeah, never did enjoy the blindpacked toy/collectible concept. Just let me buy what I want to buy. If you really want to preserve the "fun surprise" gimmick, give us a code of some kind on the package like the old Kre-o figures or current Lego minifigures do. It preserves the mystery for the...
Despite my ribbing, it actually is a good find. I'm not a pin person, but the design of these is pretty neat, the framing of characters to suggest the Autobot or Decepticon symbols.
It's a curse not unlike that of Cassandra from the Greek fables. You are always able to break news on previously unannounced merchandise, but it's always merchandise that the fandom at large doesn't give two craps about.
I'm a pretty big fan, and I have to admit that I stopped seeing the Bay movies after Age of Extinction. I haven't seen The Last Knight to this day. We all have our breaking points.
The problem is always that "the fans" aren't actually a hive mind that all want the same thing. 20% of the fans don't want to see a new Spider Man without showing his origin. 20% of the fans have seen it plenty of times and don't want to see it ever again. 60% of the fans don't really care...
Started the day at a flea market, where I found a Machine Wars Optimus (along with some other treasures) and finished the day off with the anniversary showing of the Fifth Element at the fancy theater.
I love the fact that Slag's name is literally a Cybertronian curse word, the equivalent of "F***" (in the "I'm going to F you up" sense, devoid of any sexual connotation). Like, dude is just THAT hardcore.
Yeah, for all the sins of the Titanium line, their Rodimus Prime was actually pretty ingenious. That same basic transformation scheme on a larger toy not restricted by needing to be made out of metal could be great.
PotP Hot Rod / Rodimus had some similar ideas, but was built around the idea...
I do miss Topless Robot. I was late to the game on that site, not finding it until shortly before it got folded into IO9, which then got folded into Gizmodo.
