My vibe is that Hasbro is going to do some major gear shifts for the Generations segment for 2027. We’ve already seen “Studio Series” expand from Transformers feature films to video games (made and unmade) with rumors of comic-centric offerings on tap for 2027. It also appears to me that sales...

So, I guess Nate Purswell, brand guy at Transformers, confirmed additional AOE Dinobots on deck for Studio Series. https://tformers.com/56372 Strafe is probably viable at a Leader price point, but the other two probably require a Titan slot. Tformers is ASSUMING all will be Titans, but that...

Some minor updates: Images have come out for Core PrimeChangers Megatron. People who have gotten it said it‘s pretty good, and a nice compliment to the Devastation Optimus Prime from last year. https://tformers.com/56333 Burger King is seemingly gearing up for a kids meal promotion, featuring...

I’m still not a fan of how the “explosion back” was recolored. My brain is immediately associating the color mix to “Iron Grenadier” since those figures, in the vintage days, came with a blue/purple backing to differentiate them from the “normal” Joe/Cobra figures.

Man, that’d really stir up the fans after so many Vintage characters got shuffled over to Mattel Creations lol More details are coming out about Walmart’s CollectorCon on March 19-20. Word is that both Scareglow and Core Skeletor are on tap for that event (which goes far to explaining why...

Reportedly, that is Hasbro’s GI Joe offering for the 250th Anniversary of America, exclusive to Walmart just like the Super7 assortment. Presumably, it will be available during the Walmart CollectorCon alongside the DIRETech Night Creeper.

That’s because he didn’t get name dropped until the following film! This Grimlock doesn’t do much for me, either. Too big for my desires, the actual film deco was bland AF (big reason I didn’t get in on the Leader version as well), and I’ve much preferred the “neo-Bay” stylings of the...

Well, if Randy (Powered Convoy) gets an SS86 magenta Hot Rod with two left forearm panels, he can just contact Ben Yee for a swap :p

LRG also tends to do some really impressive special editions, so that is probably also a factor in the lack of a physical release at launch. With GI Joe, I think LRG discovered it wasn't terribly well recieved and decided it wasn't worth the effort of a physical edition. I'm hopeful for some...

Cookie Jar (the Canadian company that ended up with all the old DiC content that didn’t get returned to license holders) launched a Super Mario channel on the FAST streamers. I found it on Amazon, where they seem to be running the original Super Mario Bros Super Show, I saw Mario World on now...

Splintered Fate is on sale, so I’m leaning towards snapping it up. I‘m a bit mixed on the genre, as a whole. On the one hand, a couple of my all time favorites are of the genre (Hades and Dead Cells), but I’ve also tried games like Children of Morta and Rogue Legacy which have NOT clicked with...

Just FYI, Transformers Cyberworld CyberChangers Optimus Primal is available for ORDER on Amazon, with shipping to start March 1-ish. I still can’t find any information on what other figures might be shipping with him. Nobody besides Amazon even has a listing. While I can understand Airrachnid...

Since I’m about the only one here that seems to be interested in Evercade’s retro gaming junk, I’ll keep updating here: They announced two new collections: Mega Cat Studios Collection 3 (modern indie retro games) and Activision Collection 2 (Atari 2600 stuff). I think the Activision Collection...

SS86 Astrotrain‘s only real “gains” are SLIGHTLY better alt modes. Siege geebles or not, I think that version, overall, offers the best overall execution.

And just to add more context, Skydance INCREASED their offer at least two if not three times since WBD agreed to the Netflix deal. They waged a war of attrition that Netflix was unable, or unwilling, to partake in. Further, the Skydance deal is structurally simpler, it’s a whole entity...

Limited Run Games are partnering with a number of companies to deliver some old school Marvel gaming in the Marvel MaXimum Collection. Headlined by the iconic X-Men Arcade game from Konami, it will be joined by a host of other 8 and 16 bit Marvel games. It's an...odd selection, to be honest...

April 28th is being bandied about as being "Masters of the Universe Day", with the launch of the core merchandising/marketing of the feature film due June 5th. Along with the launch of toys, the day will also see a digital release for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of...

This is probably a ripple effect from something I posted about in the Hasbro Business thread: Late last summer, Everest Toys (a major Canadian toy wholesaler) abruptly closed. Doug Putnam's Putnam Investments seems to be either having issues or simply dumping its entire toy portfolio...

I'm open to hear what Cobra Commander has to offer at this point.

Shocking. Just Shocking, I tell you.
