  1. Marvel Toy Thread

    Since Hasbro is rolling out the pressers for the stuff kicking off 2026, I might as well make a post about the Marvel kids stuff :p In addition to continuing the mega-hit Spidey and His Amazing Friends, the Iron Man spin off is still getting product. But we’re all here for the “proper action...
  2. Police behaving badly

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/minnesota-ice-shooting-live-updates-rcna252852 I saw the video and....god, ICE probably DOES have some leg to stand on. She DID drive towards an ICE officer, though there is a LOT of nuance as to whether said woman felt threatened by the ICE...
  3. New Authentics product -- Mini Bot Racers, masks, Cyber Battlers

    To be fair, Cyberverse/Earthspark Deluxes and TFOne Prime Changers were always $19.99, so it's not an extreme price hike.
  4. Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    They ain't dead yet! Might be, though, the modest slate of Spring 2026 offerings are all being reported by Hasbro pressers as "Walmart Exclusive". First up is a new 5 pack, Dino Mission, with some weird cross faction combinations. Featuring Beast Wars Dinobot + Beast Wars Megatron, DECEPTICON...
  5. New Authentics product -- Mini Bot Racers, masks, Cyber Battlers

    Hasbro has sent out pressers for the Transformers Core product range for 2026: Tiny Turbo Changers will be Target exclusive, retail for a paltry $3.99 (!). Included in the presser are images of the full assortment, giving us looks like both Arcee and Elita 1 as well as Skybyte...
  6. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    She’s there. In the RAM image, she can be seen as a pack in with a Turtle-fied AWE Striker
  7. Ninja Turtles - Cowabunga!

    That's because Party Wallop was a Hasbro project, not Playmates. That's because Playmates is the one doing every other crossover :p So, the easy way to tell WHO is doing each crossover is which franchise comes first: Hot Wheels x Transformers is done by Mattel Transformers x Hot Wheels is...
  8. Celebrity Death Thread 2026

    A pair of influential industry figures passed over the past couple weeks: First off is Albert Panello. Passing of cancer, he was a former marketing executive who worked at Microsoft on various iterations of the Xbox, including launching the original Xbox. Among collectors, he is famous for his...
  9. Celebrity Death Thread 2026

    New Year, new round of influential figures leaving our world.
  10. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    GI Joe is still chugging along! Right now, feels like retail is just catching up to announced products, but Toy Fair is just around the corner. Meanwhile, copying from the TMNT thread, Playmates is doing a crossover line with GI Joe, with full vehicle support. ... Yoooo...turtles...
  11. Ninja Turtles - Cowabunga!

    Yoooo...turtles? https://toyhabits.com/gi-joe-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-crossover-coming-april-2026/ Due this spring, probably going to be revealed before too much longer with an April 2026 release. Coming from Playmates, these are looking to be "TMNT scale" rather than classic GI Joe...
  12. Metroid

    In other words, I pretty much nailed the situation :p And it also explains, what I feel, are A LOT of the game’s issues, especially on the narrative front with the NPCs. I will argue that an “open world Metroid” IS viable, IMO. But it’s going to require some shifts in what people EXPECT from...
  13. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I would say this is just posturing…but who the hell knows anymore. I WANT to say that even THIS administration isn’t dumb enough to jeopardize practically every major political connection in Europe for Greenland…but who the hell knows anymore. I do know that if any sort of military action is...
  14. New Authentics product -- Mini Bot Racers, masks, Cyber Battlers

    I don’t know, do we need to retitle this thread “Authentics and Transformers Core” or something like that? So, just as a general “catch up” before Toy Fair next month: Earthspark seems to be dead at this point. What few retailers around me that did carry ES stuff have started the grand...
  15. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    ******* hell. This feels…bad. I don’t know why, but I just got this “pit” in my gut telling me this is tremendously BAD. Maduro may be a crap person and a alleged drug trafficker…but he was still, nominally, the head of a sovereign nation. This amounts to international kidnapping and assault...
  16. Avengers 5: DOOMSDAY

    I’ve been following Screen Crush’s analysis on these. They tend to be pretty solid, with a deeper familiarity with current lore than I have, but also aren’t as prone to succumbing to overt leaks and heresay. They’ve got a pretty solid idea about this film, IMO: If such ideas are even in the...
  17. Avengers 5: DOOMSDAY

    I know IRL has gotten crazy and such, but… Since the release of Avatar 3, Disney has been dropping teasers for Doomsday on a weekly basis. I heard “4” of them at one point, but who knows. Wouldn’t surprise me if Disney continued dropping them until a teaser on Super Bowl weekend (February...
  18. Now eventually you are going to have a Comic Book thread on this Comic Book forum, right?

    I still miss the old B&W Essential line Marvel used to do. Had a huge chunk of the "Classic" X-Men era (Giant Size until a couple years after Dark Phoenix) in that format. That old art played very well with that format.
