Not sure where this belongs, but I’m highly amused by it: This past weekend, Melanie Trump’s vanity “documentary” saw a wide release from Amazon (who reportedly paid more than $40 million for it, plus marketing), and managed to eek just $7 million. Reviews are dismal (unless you’re ultra...

More leaks in the lead up to the US Toy Fair in two weeks. First up, Spielwarenmesse attendee Raman Toys (yes, the quasi Kenner 3rd party guys) managed to snap a few pics of the Chronicles display, where Ram Man was quietly displayed. In addition, Mattel socials have confirmed that Masterverse...

TFW2005 has (belatedly) put up a news post about Power Spark Bumblebee, and might have found some new details for the 2026 Cyberworld Line (and maybe the Core line?): One of the display images at the Nuremberg Toy Fair (I’m NEVER going to be able to spell that place correctly) featured a...

Retail listings are cropping up for the next wave(s) of figures. TFW2005 has transcribed promotional text for CyberChangers Optimus Primal and Armored CyberChangers Airrachnid. Optimus Primal turns into a truck mode “inspired by a gorilla”. The prophecy has finally come to past: the munkk has...

Yeah, there is clearly "something" not being communicated through the official material. I can't help but wonder if Nexus and Amalgamous ended up suffering for Age of the Primes being two years instead of 3. Both would have benefited greatly from being leaders with the extra budget to better...

Apparently, there is still a little life left in this line. Amazon Singapore listings have revealed wave 4: Rhinox and Backstop (Rhino with Transmetal Rhinox colors) Ironhide and Ratchet (Ambulance) Double Punch and Scorponok (Scorpion)...

I'll be curious to see them in color. I still get some strong Energon vibes in the designs, despite elements of the films likely being dominant.

Entertainment Weekly got the exclusive reveal for the initial slate for MOTU Chronicles (ie, renamed Masterverse) collector oriented figures. The initial wave(s) will feature: He-Man, Skeletor, Man At Arms, Teela, Evil-Lynn, Trap Jaw and Triklops for $24.99. Also launching will be the deluxe...

The argument, as best I can tell, is that they are accusing Hasbro of undermining the “brand value” of Magic The Gathering (therefore, undermining the long term success of the Hasbro Corporate Entity) by producing an excessive number of sub-par additional sets. Sets whose releases, according to...

With that handy dandy feature film launching in a few months, Mattel has rolled out a new FAST channel for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Focused on the classic Filmation series thus far, we'll see what they show when they finally cycle through the 130 episodes of the old series. It...

Hasbro is currently embroiled in a pair of lawsuits concerning Magic The Gathering, and Hasbro's (particularly, Chris Cocks' involvement) in overproducing product and potentially misleading investors on brand strategy. November 2025 This one alleges that, under Chris Cocks and several WotC...

ML Grimlock is now available to order from US etailers. Price is about $120

I would readily argue that the 200x show is the reason I have a MUCH stronger preference for Snakemen as a supplemental villain faction than The Horde (which always came across as Evil Warriors 2.0, especially as I've gotten older).

At the Spielwarenmesse Toy Fair, Mattel gave a first look at their DC Core action figure line. At 6.5", the figures are seemingly intended to compliment similarly scaled collector offerings. A speculation/rumor is that Mattel may be taking a similar approach with DC as they have with the WWE...

The Spielwarenmesse Toy Fair is in full swing, and while typically a closed off event, Mattel has been VERY open about their offerings concerning Kpop Demon Hunters and Masters of the Universe. Some of the first images of the MOTU Chronicles film figures have gotten out. First looks have been...

This is the full press release, giving a general overview of Mattel's massive slate of products tied to the award winning film: mattel-kpop-demon-hunters-2026-collection-launch Dolls, Action Figures, Polly Pocket, American Girl, Little People and even an Uno collab. Mattel is preparing a full...

CORRECTION: Apparently, the image came from the UK Toy Fair, where a distributor showed off some new products. This TFW2005 poster found a full image (apparently, the wall was across from where the Robosen Soundwave was being showed off), from which the cropped Twitter image originated...

The Nuremberg Toy Fair is happening, and while there might not be any bald German men, a leak HAS come out: https://x.com/Da_Cube04/status/2015505757526167885?s=20 Listing posted by linkinparkirony at TFW points this as likely “Power Spark Bumblebee”, Cyberworld’s next flagship release due next...

Amazon has the new Smash Changers Bumblebee up for order with an estimated release of April. Despite appearances, this IS an all new mold based on the Evergreen design https://news.tfw2005.com/2026/01/25/transformers-prime-changers-smash-changers-bumblebee-first-look-555409 In regards to the...
