Red Sonja was boringly competent for a low budget fantasy film. That's not to say there weren't high spots: Matilda Lutz did a serviceable job with the material given, and in the areas where real location sets were utilized, there were glimpses of some beautiful camera work and set design...
Point of Sale. IIRC, it means that while Transformers, as a whole did okay, sales to consumers were down in Q4. And I feel a LOT of that can be attributed to the absence of Earthspark. While Cyberworld did launch, it was still fewer SKUs than Earthspark was playing with a year prior. There...
Comicbook.com got the exclusive reveal of Mattel's Bat-Link Batmobile. Scaled for 6.5" figures (sold separately), the fluff from comicbook.com seems to indicate that Mattel is positioning this as a centerpiece to a whole play pattern, with a Robin Cycle named dropped.

While mentioned in press material, the Skele-knight missed the official press rollout. Mattel has corrected that, here's images of the Core figure:

At a Midtown Comics event with Larry Hama, he revealed a new Classified release: Dawn Moreno Snake Eyes, one of the three (!) versions of Snake Eyes running around in his ARAH comic.

IGN got the nod to reveal Mattel’s Core Kids line for Masters of the Universe. Global launch of the toy line is expected on April 25th. Additional products will be revealed this weekend at Toy Fair (like the Castle Grayskull I FULLY expect to be available this fall). Posting the TNI repost...
The Toybook has revealed, in their interview with Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks, the new Classified Cobra La Royal Guard. Priced at $42.99 (aka, deluxe figure), the figure will be available for preorder on February 17th at the usual retailers.

I’m tempted, but unless...
Apparently it's available on Digital now!
It's a wonderful homage to the classic sword and sorcery schlock we all remember from the 80s. It doesn't shy away from its own innate silliness, embraces its violent nature, and is just good fun. And good lord, all the GLORIOUS practical effects...
To me that's odd. That SEEMS like an effort that disproportionately effects richer individuals who have the MEANS of traveling internationally. Bill-Bob feuding with Mary May in Alabama over child support is probably not apt to have a passport to begin with, much less the funds to travel...
So, the series is slated to begin airing next year, and in celebration, Hasbro snagged the GLOBAL MASTER toy license for the franchise:

Despite the lawsuits and fuss, Hasbro is still selling tons of Magic, riding those sales to big gains in 2025:

The Challenger: The Loyal Subjects
Product Launch of the Year: MASK Mobile Defense Unit
Cultural Moment: Jem 40th Anniversary Fashion Doll.
They didn't win, but they...
Just going to drop this here:
Super7 has announced that they have a license from Hasbro to produce Visionaries products. Nothing known besides license announcement
Not sure if you guys want to start a thread or not, but Super7 has announced on social media that they now have a license for My Little Pony products. Nothing revealed, but it IS Toy Fair this coming weekend. Highly probable to be "80s-oriented" given their business model and the style of...
Actually, those are technically called “Monocycles”.
Growing up seeing episodes of Spiral Zone and old anime/gaming material, we really need more monocycles in popular culture.
Hasbro isn’t the only one dropping new GI Joe news, the next wave of ReAction+ has popped up online:
Chuckles (cartoon)
Oktober Guard Diana (cartoon version)
Flash (comic with removable helmet)
Hydro-Viper (Action Force Monthly #14 deco)
And art of a Falcon repaint in blue and grey/white...
I mean, yeah, I’m probably going to end up with the toy version on that very basis. But I’m also a professed fanboy for Dinobots as well, so the temptation remains.
