Windmill is my favorite but I'm going to have to do them all now, aren't I?

It'll never completely recover. It's one of those things. Once you experience something in a colossally more convenient way, it's hard to go back to inconveniencing yourself on purpose without a really good reason. Between traffic and the advertised start times being an absolute lie, seeing a...

Inspired by a conversation on Discord, about an hour ago.

The legend exists. I'm so happy. Someone needs to bring one to the dealer room every year, even if it's not for sale. It just belongs.

I'm sure a lot of the designers of these things fantasized about getting to work for Bandai or Takara, and sincerely tried to do the best possible job their company was willing to pay for. Which wasn't much, but they were sure gonna get it.

To be fair, no two releases of this movie look quite the same.

Were there any Onyx Primal sightings in the dealer room?

Even that thing bothers to hide the limbs in jet mode. Okay they're not great limbs. But the layout has potential.

These have the proportions needed to look like proper modern Action Masters. It has to happen at some point.

That's what makes it a weird Powered Convoy homage.

It's TV commercial energy. Making TV commercials is absolute production hell. You have 30 seconds to tell your story (to the extent you have a story) and you don't have all day to do retakes because you're not the only crew renting the studio that day. Get in, get out. That's where Michael Bay...

I mean they each have toys that represent completely different bodies, not just the same character designs in multiple size classes. This Optimus Prime turns into a completely different truck than the first Cyberworld Prime we saw. And one Megatron turns into a bull and the other is a TLK Hound...

Optimus and Megatron having totally different bodies right off the bat brings me happy 1996 vibes. It's like Beast Wars never happened and this is G3.

I don't know about this. It seems like a crazy fast turnaround after the recent collapse of Hasbro media. But then again, this CEO claims he wants to see brand teams be quicker to get things into production. He claims he trusts brand teams to know best where demand is, and doesn't want to waste...

This is how much I felt like doing anything this week.

Hmm, my backlog is already tens of miles long, but playing with the helicopter does look fun.

I haven't paid any attention to the Switch 2. Are the controls all that different from the first Switch?

This was going to happen. The Supreme Court has been warning in decision after decision, "Please stop with nationwide injunctions or we will be forced to take up this issue." It went too far. They sure picked an inappropriate case to do this though. Citizenship is a national question. District...
