And just like that…the Legacy thread has returned!

I’m hoping Mattel shows off a solid slate today. Early pics have been fine, but I was a bit disappointed by the blue and grey Batman they showed off, simply because he was still sporting that Rebirth style chest emblem. I was/still am hoping for a blue and grey with all blue emblem being used...

Transformers gets fun and weird when it dies and Hasbro tries to revive the shambling remnants. Besides I’ve had WAY more trauma from the fandom than I ever have with the franchise media itself.

Generally, yeah. It’s still a mass produced “toy” and still subject to the QC roulette, but I’ve not had issues with any my Super7 stuff.

The Toy Book’s big Toy Fair issue is live, and it has a blurb about MASK wave 2’s Hurricane, specifically, the $84.99 price point. At these prices, it’s probably not a bad idea to do only a wave or two a year…

And just be clear, I’m not against a good bit of satire. Knights of Unicron was amazing, and I’m over geeking out on the new Cyberworld designs and ideas. The establishment of a real life Cold Slither was wonderful, over in GI Joe. But as a LONG time fan, I think I’m just over all the...

IGN dropping the deets on Season 2 of Cyberworld, dubbed “Energon Surge”. With key art, they also have first promo images of Power Spark Bumblebee, one of the line’s key items for the fall. Notable in the key art is an Optimus Prime with “Energized” chest and our first tease of Soundwave...

Ten years ago, I would have been amused. At this stage, with most of the “kids” who actually watched this in theatres are now well into their 40s, if not 50s. I’m all for a good bit of fun, but given recent broader trends socially and within the brand Itself? I’m just kind of over all this...

Super7 has dropped a bunch of announcements in the lead up to Toy Fair. Preorders should be going up within the next day or so for most of these Wave 1 of Visionaries (Leoric and Darkstorm) https://toynewsi.com/345-61830 Wave 3 of Micronauts, composed of Emperor and Time Traveler (yellow or...

‘Tis Toy Fair eve, and all the companies are making their announcements. Playmates has officially revealed TMNTxGI Joe. Additional details not mentioned in the original leak is that Bebop and Rocksteady are Ripper and Buzzer, there will be TWO April figures, with the AWE Shell-Shocker coming...

Mattel isn’t just going all in on the new feature film, they’re doing a full court press! Over in New Zealand, fans have found yet another new product line that hasn’t been announced: Masters of the Universe Mighty Masters REALLY similar to the WWE Knuckle Crunchers line, these are seemingly...

Super7 has announced licenses for Shrek and…Law and Order? I mean…WHAT?

Not yet. As is, I’m suspecting Hasbro isn’t going to open orders for this stuff until next week, as Entertainment Earth has a number of days with Hasbro drops. From retail listings that have been dug up, Primal might ship with Lockdown, Cheetor and Jazz. Airrachnid might come with either...

Sony had a State of Play, and that means many of the announcements were multiplatform. Most notable was the announcement of Metal Gear Solid Collection Volume 2, featuring MGS4, Peacewalker and Ghost Babel (the GBC game). The game is currently being promoted to be available on Switch 1…but...

And that mouthplate just looks...wrong. Like an almost family-inappropriate way... Cyberworld drives me crazy: they got fresh, nifty design takes. Reminds me of the "olden days" when the brand was "toy first", not "media/marketing first". But the standard Cyberworld toys are just so...eh. I...

All I got to say is that if it doesn't give you the option of playing "The Touch" when you open it? What the hell are we even doing.

And who they did it to!

Toys just aren't fun like they used to be.

Jeez, nune at TFW2005 just ruining ALL of Hasbro surprises :p Aside from finally getting a Kranix, it's a pretty lackluster wave, IMO. Sunstreaker and Wheeljack aren't terribly exciting after recent reissues/repaints. Skywarp adds to "the set", but Thundercracker is just now becoming...
