The battery thing is a requirement of EU regulations, so Nintendo is only doing that for their legal coverage. The North American market will get it simply out of practicality, just like how EU forced Apple to abandon the Lightning connection on iPhones worldwide due to EU rulings. There will...

If I read the articles/blurbs accurately (who knows with how frequently things seem to change), Iran’s 10 point plan to end the conflict would basically undue the last decade of diplomatic actions to constrain the country’s nuclear ambitions. Will it be agreed to wholesale? Not a chance, but...

Ain't got time to be tired!

I mean, it IS TACO Tuesday :p Also made the mistake of scrolling through CNN's live updates and saw Lindsey Graham's comments. He's talking about Congress having to approve any proposal to end the war, but my first thought was "jive, Congress didn't give approval for the war TO BEGIN WITH!"

Right NOW? It's because he'll rubber stamp whatever gets rolled onto his desk from the Republican dominate Congress. They might be sick and tired of him, but he may still have SOME political value in some sections of the country...at least until recently. Post-midterms? That's when things are...

Should be. We had a HUGE discussion here with the tariffs last year. But let's just keep it relevant to Hasbro and the impact on business and us, that's all that is being asked. Given lead times, I'm not overly worried about products until probably next spring. As is, I've been suspecting...

That's not Absolute Batman...no big ass ax! :p Promo images are starting to hit for more of the DC Core rollout due this summer. Here, we got the 12" "Crime Crusher" Batman figure. https://toynewsi.com/241-62865 Wave 1 DC Core figures. Batman, Robin, Joker and Flash. Retail will be around...

Jakks Pacific dropped the ball. Stupid Sexy Flanders' backside lacks the defined posterior that was the crux of the joke https://i.toynewsi.com/g/generated/ToyNew/Jakks.Pacific/The.Simpsons/5.Inch/Series.6/Sexy.Flanders-02__scaled_800.jpg

Amazon Canada is starting to put up listings for the rollout of Mattel's DC Core line this summer. First out, we've got official images for the two deluxe figures, Heat Vision Superman and Mecha Suit Batman: Mecha Suit Batman is a bit more basic, but the removable helmet is nice and the detail...

Stable genius, indeed.

That’s how they’ll get you to double dip later on :p New movie toys are due around the end of the month (April 25-28ish, depending on retailer and fricks given), so more press/promo images are cycling out. Among them is official images of Core Mekaneck and the SkeleKnight from wave 2 (which...

Retailers don’t seem to care much, but Mattel is really putting some major efforts into what this film might provide the brand. A number of items are popping up for preorder across retailers, with a better indication what will be exclusive. Target is actually putting out preorders for Origins...

The game was solid. I dubbed it “No Man’s Skylanders” given the crossover between much of NMS’s space exploration and combat mechanics with the ”Toys to Life” element with some lite RPG progression. Not as grindy as typical UbiSoft stuff, it wasn’t amazing, but I found it quite enjoyable...

Caught a matinee. It was fine. I enjoyed it, the Easter Eggs are definitely aimed to me. But I'm not sure it's a stronger film than the first. Feels more like a series of vignettes strung together than having a cohesive plot through line. Fox was fun, though I'm not sure he added much to the...

Figures the ONE time I actually find one of the Target special team ReAction+ exclusives on shelf...it's a character I have ZERO interest in. Thanks to the toy sale, I was able to get ReAction+ Cobra Commander (cape) and Tiger Force Snake Eyes for just under $40 for the pair (between Target's...

Mattel has released info for their Creations-Exclusive release of King Grayskull in the revised Chronicles format. Like Scareglow (and to an extent, the Core Gold Skeletor), Mattel seems to be taking more a "GI Joe Classified" approach to this segment. While they are clearly using existing...

Some deets: Retro Wave is mass retail, but the Renegades 2 pack and Despoiler are "Fanazon" exclusives (Amazon+online specialty) They officially revealed the Ramp Rats, a ground crew supplemental item for the Rattler. Teasing YoJoe June, some name teases: Toxo-Viper (v1), Psyche Out (V2 image...

Hasbro's got a live stream happening today, in addition to preorders going up for the next Retro Wave. Something I didn't notice, but greatly appreciate, is that with recent waves of Retro, the 86+ year figures are now sporting the proper digital explosion back instead of the generic pre-86...

That's the most intense Mr. Potato Head has ever been in his life.

And that sure is the old Filmation tune running underneath all that nifty action. Also, some Skeletor lines. Jared Leto might be Skeletor, but he's apparently willing to completely immerse himself to the point you can't tell its him unless you've been following casting.
