All Flying Squirrel Bumblebee does is make me want an Optimus Prime Moose. Optimoose Prime. Of course, sticking with the Timelines formula, that means Megatron and Starscream would have to have stereotypical east european spy-themed altmodes, but sacrifices have to be made for art: "Come...

For Minus One Minus Color, there was a "Japan Editon" region free Blu Ray set that included both, but I think is now sold out. At least one 4K version is supposed to have both. Godzilla vs Hedorah is a great late-Showa era flick, very experimental. If you can find the AIP dub (Godzilla vs The...

My very first experience at an Ollie's was when my (now) wife and I were visiting some of her friends in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and that store had some transforming motorcycle figures from Maisto, 2 of which I picked up. Never seen them at another Ollie's since, but I do miss that kind of...

Anyone want to try Dorvack Tulcas from Wreck'N'Rule Impactor? Actually, also the Tulcas figure in Marvel Impactor colors.

I've often/always thought Tulcas/Tankor is like Impactor. The guns are different, but otherwise the body layout is not far off. Yeah, Tulcas doesn't have a head, but that didn't slow G1 Ironhide and Ratchet down, either. Also, that reminds me, I need to get back to watching Dorvack...

Raymond Burr is most famous for playing TV lawyer Perry Mason. I will say two positive things about Godzilla: 1) The Narrator-style dubbing has the unique advantage of being able to be recorded and played books-on-tape-style in a car on a long-ish drive. This has helped me get through a trip on...

The only reason I stopped at 1965 is that it feels like Destroy All Monsters is still the endgame story for the Showa era, while the South Seas movies and 69-75 films slot in somewhere between 65 and DAM. So it's not a throughline story, but I agree that there is a definite storyline at play...

If you like cinematic universes, the original Godzilla series (1954-75) is pretty expansive; they do have fairly dated effects (though I almost prefer the practical stuff over effects in most modern films), but there's a lot of variety in the kaiju and settings of each movie, which makes them a...

If you want to watch a Godzilla with effects that hold up quite well, you cannot go wrong with Godzilla Minus One. It really does live up to the hype.

First, congratulations on an excellent movie selection! Second, let me try to unpack this coherently: The American version basically hits all the main story beats of the Japanese version, but does so through the narrative of American reporter Steve Martin (played by Raymond Burr!) whose scenes...

Has anyone announced an upgrade kit for Retro Brawn yet? I love the toy-based head, but he kinda needs those big claws to really sell the toy-based look. Surely some enterprising individual has devised an upgrade kit with claw hands, right?

It was the white one, so Runamuck, I guess. Got the names mixed up. The black one is the one I'm wondering about a redux for.

Not sure what thread is most appropriate for this, so I'll put it here: Just found the Earthrise Runabout reissue at Walmart (sadly, didn't get the presumably clearance price some people reported), and it has me wondering, has there been any hints of a plan to get Runamuck out again? I mean...

Target Circle has a 25% off one toy purchase offer. You do have to log in and activate it to your Circle account, but it says it's good through November 15th.

Because Gobots got there first? (Albeit in the Wendy's kids meal lineup)

I mean, you could almost say the Ox dude is Super Ginrai and not Optimus Prime, if that helps...

Had to search back in the thread for upcoming figure listings, but the likeliest answer is probably Lockdown? None of the other characters listed seem to fit.

Based on the box art, I would saw definitely Falcon and not crow... Optimus oddly reminds me of this toy I had as a kid: https://thisoldtoy.com/l_fp_set/toy-pages/300-399/331-huskyhelperfarmset.html I used to stand the tractor on end and stand the bull on his hind legs and make them...

https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/10/10/nycc-25-transformers-panel-recap-548237 Apparently the next Timelines set is a Samurai-themed one? Depending on the price, I kind of want one.
