Or, like Hasbro, Mattel got one huge hit and has decided to throw a ton of money that way to try and replicate it and in 15 years they'll be right where Hasbro is now.

It's listed as SS (Studio Series) so it's almost certainly the regular insecticons who showed up in the film.

https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/07/29/new-2026-2027-listings-found-studio-series-exclusives-more-544190 The Studio Series '86 Anniversary Line has been (mostly) revealed along with some other exclusives and even a 2027 Leader, thanks to Jtprime17 over at TFW2005 Yay, Prowl! Finally! Curious...

Kind of a chicken and an egg situation for me; is marketing to adults killing the kid market, or is the kid market dying causing them to focus more on adults? One way or another, I feel those two things are intrinsicly linked. Also apropo of nothing, the "chicken or the egg" problem is...

I'll never get over how much Hasbro went absolutely insane with the six inch figures for awhile. Marvel, Star Wars, GI Joe, Dungeons and Dragons, Indiana Jones, Power Rangers, Ghostbusters, Fortnite, the NBA!!! Also the Selfie Series (which I'm still kicking for not getting a Ghostbuster of...

We've just gotten so many takes and retakes on the classic designs and characters that the mid-to-late 90's and 2000's seem like the wild west in comparison, where just about anything was possible.

He's one of the other prisoners that Lockdown had captured that Optimus threatens with death if he doesn't aid them in battle. He's unwilling backup, essentially.

"Is not a character" can probably be leveled at 90% of the characters that have shown up in the live-action Studio Series. Those films weren't exactly good on characterizing the Transformers outside of a handful of big name ones. Especially as time went on.

This happened to me with the mando figure; ordered one from Walmart and got a box of 3 of them.

It's only a parts former if you want maximum show accuracy; you can just leave those bits on his legs like they are on the ER mold if it bothers you that much.

15. The Earthrise seeker mold was used FIFTEEN times and not one of them was Sunstorm. :P

(Second half for Studio Series) New mold for the '86 seekers and Titan bayverse Grimlock are the highlights.

the problem is that comics last for decades; but comic book movies typically get a trilogy and they're out. Unless you do the same villain each time, you typically don't have time for them to be recurring. Think of James Bond; the villains in those films are typically gone by the end of the...

Bale's performance is fine, they just give him hardly anything to do. (The one scene where he goes from a serious, dramatic character to acting like a clownish boogieman in front of some children feels like it's ripped from a completely different script, though)

Voyagers are 35. Soundwave's cassettes have been sold as core class price of $12 though these have no accessories (though also, they have elbows for a change), so even with tall that, this still feels overpriced.

Oh, I thought he came with the trailer :P IIRC, Nemesis was shown with it in at least one shot in the show.

I really want those mini-cons but $75 for 3 minicons is a bit much, even if it comes with a free commander class figure. :D

Depends on how much you like that first one.

Star Wars has actually seen a pretty noticeable resurgence in the wake of Andor S2 and Revenge of the Sith being in theaters; several Star Wars games like Battlefront 2 and the Old Republic have seen massive surges in players.
