    HasLab 2025: Liokaiser

    All of this actually appeals to me (smaller overall, no unwieldily big Magnus to facilitate car carrying, non-HasLab price tag), but I can definitely see why the HasLab route was just simpler. They're no-brainers to fund, so you can set the price that would do them justice and as long as it's...

    Transformers: Wild King -- new "Wildocking" animal limb combiner series from TakaraTomy

    I genuinely dig these, and it's all seeming more cohesive and appealing than Cyberworld is right now. A big part of that is the apparent bigger per-figure budget, and the execution that allows for essentially the same core box body to take on different forms with just altered forelimbs and...

    Transformers: Wild King -- new "Wildocking" animal limb combiner series from TakaraTomy

    Wow, Drillhorn/Drill Horn is having a big year. I'm intrigued by those listings, and I'm wondering which of the existing molds I'd prefer "lavamuleta" to be (maybe the Hydrophant mode). Or, if a new mold, what beast I'd like to see it be (maybe a stegosaurus! 🤩)

    I don't disagree with any of that. But me not understanding that fandom leaves me outside the space of whether or not there might actually be some interest or excitement from getting Rando Citezeann in his second Cloud City attire. There's absolutely none for me (and I'm right there with you and...

    I'd rather get at least 2-packs like the Siege/Earthrise Micromasters. Make them versus sets like the Cybertron releases and release two teams that way.

    I don't understand a lot about the Star Wars fandom, so I hesitate to comment on much about the toylines. But producing obscuros and generics is something I want Transformers to be able to do as well, so sometimes it's just the bullet that must be taken. Idk. I also don't want to flatten the...

    Transformers: Wild King -- new "Wildocking" animal limb combiner series from TakaraTomy

    Maybe someone can 3d print an intermediate elbow joint, although that'll extend the forearms by quite a bit. Could probably be passable in full combined mode I guess. Still digging how Ryusoulger-y this feels. Would love a beast core body too -- Grimlock?

    Ten toys you want @Hasbro to make in 2026

    I actually would miss the tank mode. I remember being impressed at that wadding up of beast bits looking like a cohesive thing. But I don't want to see another rubber-treaded take on it.

    Transformers: Wild King -- new "Wildocking" animal limb combiner series from TakaraTomy

    This breakdown of the series premise seems to indicate that the five "energy" source elements don't include wind: "Flame Energy (fire), Glass [grass?] Energy (nature), Grand [ground] Energy (earth), Lightning Energy (thunder), or Aqua Energy (water)" I'm only going off of Google Translate, so...

    Toys Where the Wild Kings Are: a closer look at Takara's new "Transformers: Wild King" toys

    Allsparker Donocropolis directs our attention to TV Magazine, who share a great breakdown of Transformers: Wild King figures. Their twin posts show off Energy Master Optimus Prime, ENergy Master Megatron, and the line's Energy Beasts: Lightlong, Hydrophant, Captain Volca, and Leafback! The...

    I gotta say, I don't miss the lights and sounds at all and was glad to see them eventually get priced out of the toys. Hasbro has shown proficiency at tapping into lots of other play patterns and catchy elements that wouldn't hobble an individual toy as much (or necessitate unwieldy...

    Ten toys you want @Hasbro to make in 2026

    Damn, I should've put this on the list. This is exactly what I've wanted for some time. Just one all-new mold that has at least three redecos/retools waiting in line for it (green or purple to start, the other to follow, Destruction Bludgeon, canceled Combat Hero, Reverse Convoy, Megastorm).

    Ten toys you want @Hasbro to make in 2026

    I immediately tried to populate this with Hot Rods and Rodimuses, but let's pare those down to these. Pick one, I guess? 1. Energon Rodimus - maybe a tall Deluxe or sure, let's go Voyager. I'm either/or on the Powerlinx gimmick, but it'd be nice to see the design unencumbered by it. 1. New...

    Gee, thanks. Of course I'd vastly prefer if some got the Sideways, Starscream, Hot Shot treatment. Just trying to manage my own expectations given what capsules have tended to be composed of (even Override was a surprise replacing a half-assed retool plan, iirc).

    Finally, Hasbro venturing outside predictable redeco ideas. But I stand by hoping for some Energon attention, maybe a capsule. * Energon Prowl vs Starscream (AOTP RA/Legacy Armada Starscream) * Rodimus (Scraphook retool) vs Divebomb (Filch retool) * Strongarm (Legacy Beachcomber retool) vs...

    I really like how Red Alert Captures the lankier vibe of the animation model, chonky thighs and all. Just wish the chest panels could at least open (can they?). Hoping he gets an Energon (Prowl) redeco. Hell, give me the Armada Starscream too.
