I went to a larger Walmart AND Target and guess what I found? NOTHING. Well, nothing at Walmart (I'm shocked at that, don't know what's going on with these southwestern Walmarts), but I spotted a Roton, 3 Core BattleCats, and a single peg of Chronicles (He-Man and Man At Arms) at Target. Kind...

Oh, I agree. Mattel is putting out a DAMN fine product for $10-12. And I actually find myself gravitating to the Kids Core line because I'm in this as a toy fan, and I enjoy the brighter palette these figures are pulling from. And I'm cheap. Origins Film series is being split between various...

*Poors one out for Disney's Gargoyles* I don't see this going anywhere. If shareholders didn't put forth efforts or approve a sale when Hasbro was in a stronger position several years ago (when Mattel was legit struggling), I don't see them accomplishing much right now. The ONLY benefit is...

Mighty Masters are a boxed (not blind boxed) mini-figure line Mattel is doing. They're basically half sized Vintage toy remakes, not dissimilar to the WWE Knuckle Crunchers Mattel makes. https://www.he-man.org/might-masters-mini-figures-revealed/ Keep in mind that there are "Movie Origins"...

I’m broadly in agreement with the last few peeps. There isn’t enough “jank” to the design like we would have seen in the 80s. In some respects, it’s too close to the Sunbow model relative to the liberties that were being taken with most other Diaclone designs. It’s clearly designed with more...

For those that have had Target reset their stuff to put out toys…Are you seeing the little $5 Mighty Masters among the offerings? I’m going out of town this week, hoping to hit Target. I’m still on the fence about jumping into the movie toys until I see the movie…but little $5 remakes of the...

Details are coming out as to what sorts of “swag” the various theatre chains are getting with the push for Masters of the Universe. Seems like the Power Sword sipper and the “Secrets of Grayskull” snack…kit…thing are going to be available everywhere. Some items are exclusive to certain venues...

I actually kind of wonder if one simply begat the other. Given the lead times on animated films and games, it is entirely possible that it was Illumination’s push for the Star Fox cameo that prompted Nintendo to get this remake into production. Or Nintendo actually DID have this game under...

While wave 1 seemed to (finally!) release to some mixed reception, TLS is moving forward with wave 2, dubbed “The Heavy Hitters”. First official renders have been revealed, as well as some additional details about the changes/upgrades being made to the vehicles: The Gator now features metal...

Nintendo is continuing their shuffle steps into "modern gaming" with June 25th's release of Star Fox, exclusive for Switch 2 Guess what? It's another remake of Star Fox 64. It's got HD graphics, fully voiced FMV and all that fancy stuff...but it's still just another remake of Star Fox 64...

Presumably, they'll roll out on June 4 with initial screenings of the film. But not all buckets will be at all chains.

Legends is just Selects in Japanese packaging for the weebs.

Listings have popped up for a 200x Cartoon Collection Deluxe Man E Faces on deck, FYI ;) And in regards to Sketchbook releases, images have come out of Sketchbook Man At Arms, reflecting the original "Paladin" design concept...

Some solid images of the Deluxe Core (or “Feature”) Trap Jaw figure, including a short video of his Action Feature. The big thing to note is the significant deco differences between the promo images and this retail release. In addition to the arm being in a default “blaster mode”, the gimmick...

Listings have popped up for a 86 Studio Series Rodimus Prime, slated for the Commander price point. Due in 2027 https://news.tfw2005.com/2026/05/02/2027-studio-series-commander-listing-found-86-rodimus-prime-562919 Presumably, he’ll be a new mold capable of being an “all in one”...

I’m not sure what to make of it at this point. One part of me IS a bit disappointed that this seems to be going against the “Diaclone with joints” structure of the line. But I’m also not sure if we’re not seeing some black magic being done by Tomy. I see two options: 1. Tomy “reverse...

Though, I think it would be MORE fun if the blue and grey had that oval sigil like on the packaging… :p Also, I’m continually amused that any time these collector oriented sites, like DC Collectors or TNI, cover a Mattel product, they have the utter NEED to stress that this stuff is “for the...

Hasbro had a livestream for collector junk, while leaks and teases slipped out for the kid-centric ActionVerse. Old Republic fans are going to be eating good this fall, as will fans of the Retro Collection. The packaging for the SDCC exclusive Anakin vs Ventress set feels a touch...

Some new Mattel Core stuff has leaked out. This time, a pair of Batman battle sets: Batman vs Killer Croc Batman vs Clayface Each villain is actually noticably larger than the base 6.5” Batman figure. I DO appreciate each Batman figure is fairly distinct, with Killer Croc’s novel tactical...
