"EDIT: Oh, the Spychangers! They should be huge improvements over their old toys in every way but rolling ability." This is funny to me because I was just fiddling with Spychanger Ultra Magnus last night and thinking: They should really just make more Spychangers. Not updates or generations...

I remember reading an interview with a cartoon creator of the period talking about how the powers that be often required you to put a "bad example" character in cartoons at the time. The Hero modeled how kids should act and was rewarded for it while the Eric-type demonstrated how not to act and...

After just watching another episode... Moon Girl's personality shift from the comic's extremely gifted kid left frustrated, lonely and stifled by her public school and parents who don't understand to the cartoon's upbeat friendly cool smart girl with large loving musical family is kind of a...

The Original Moon Girl: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Girl_(EC_Comics) She's public domain now. I've been reading Lunella since her first appearance because my son was the perfect age for the comic at the time it was coming out and really liked it. (One of his favorites along with...

Just to give an idea how hot I went I nuked some water for 3 minutes in the microwave till it was bubbling and steaming. About a minute in that an they all opened up pretty good on mine. -ZacWilliam, really wish they'd announce the last 3

I wish we lived in a Universe where Titan Rescue Bots High Tide had any odds of happening. -ZacWilliam, like if Rescue Bots got Titan sized toys we could get him and Citadel Secundus

Mirage looks fine. Not G1 Mirage, but wasn't expecting that at this point, but looks decent for a movie design. Trailer itself was disappointingly brief and i exciting. -ZacWilliam, Flash and GotG3 were much better trailer wise.

Merlin living backwards, remembering the future and so on is from the source material so it isn't quite "breaking the fourth wall/pop culture joking" like some characters do, he is supposed to know the 20th century from his youth. I loved Sword and the Stone as a kid, until I got older and...

It's awesome if we're getting Tasmania Kid just conceptually, but "in practice" what it mainly made me think is "Stampy is *SO MUCH* cooler. Do him." -ZacWilliam, still dying for Botanica and a Beast Machines Jetstorm that looks like the show.

i mean Dinoking doesn't really require any. Maybe the combiner head if they really want to but the rest I can't imagine any more than straight recolors. Monstructor I can imagine them going as straight recolors too but it'd be way off to the point I'd have no interest. -ZacWilliam, my guess is...

That's not better. -ZacWilliam, if this is the best they can manage Core combiners they should have junked the whole idea. Sludges robot and Grimlock's Trex are inexcusable.

Core Grimlock - Robot mode fine. Dino-Mode Terrible. Leg mode not even any good even after ruining dino-mode. Core TC and NP - Could not care less. Shrapnel - Looks Great. Will Buy. But I'm more excited about the idea of a Chop Shop remold. Crosscut - Looks fine but I'll probably pass. Just...

Let me echo that the characters are awful but the two bots becoming an ice-cream truck alt mode is wonderful. I wish someone could scrape them off that alt mode and make a cool pair that could do the same thing.Maybe using the Reality jumping Skids and Screech from Japan. -ZacWilliam, in the...

This line feels over. And the reviews being generally poor I don't feel like I missed anything by completely passing. -ZacWilliam, the Super7 counterparts were more expensive but the character choice was mostly way more fun and one I got was genuinely great.

Am running the shop solo at work today with nothing much to do, and found a set of watercolors in the office. ZacWilliam, hasn't watercolored in forever...

My first Trypticon did that right out of the box when I got it back during TR. As far as I could tell by examining the pieces it looks like the pin on that arm was only ever half there on mine. Like they used a defective half length pin. That was my guess. (As it had just come out Amazon...

Yes, we've known there are two entirely different Airrazor toys for like months now thanks to leaks. One seems to be based on early concepts and one on the more finished look, and yes, One is Studio Series and one is Main Line. -ZacWilliam, kinda think the main line one looks significantly better.

I may have missed the boat on Motormaster too. I've never been super into the Stunticons so I kinda relegated him and the others after Drag Strip to "I'll put 'em on my Amazon wishlist and maybe I'll get them as Christmas gifts." Sadly it looks like MM sold out everywhere before Xmas. On the...

I can. The concept that Fossilizers can combine is official. There is no official Fossilizer combiner. -ZacWilliam, the theoretical ability to build a type of character is different from the existence of an actual character with a distinct official appearance or name.
