I was optimistic after hearing Travis Knight’s name attached. After seeing the trailer? I feel that faith is justified. Is it 100% Filmation? No, but neither was the Transformers film (2007 OR Bumblebee) a 100% recreation of the cartoon. But, at least on a visual level, the people involved...

My dudes, nobody is interested in Super7's newly revealed Tigersharks offerings? https://super7.com/products/tigersharks-ultimates-wave-1-mako-octavia-t-ray-super-pack They're pricey, but given the highly improbable chance of ANYONE ever touching the franchise again, for the few hardcore fans...

Disney and animation Veteran Roger Allers has passed at age 76. His body of work stretches from Sesame Street and Electric Company, to Nelvana’s cult Rock and Rule, to TMS’s Little Nemo. His most notable works were as storyboard artist (among numerous other roles) at Disney, including Tron...

I still maintain, on some level, Spider-Man Unlimited began life as a “Batman Beyond/SM 2099” hybrid type series. Even the Peter Parker design had “MIguel O’Hara“ elements.

Saw this on Facebook, god-freakin’ GORGEOUS. This is about as mint as you can get for a 35 year old toy. Man, if the universe would just let me win the damned lottery…...

Netflix really has an issue with nudity in anime. Magic Knight Rayearth was added today, and while I haven't watch a LOT of the episodes, I don't recall enough to warrant the "TV-MA" rating they slapped on it. Most of the nudity I recall is the "Barbie boobs" in the opening, used in an...

I think that Hot Rod looks GORGEOUS from a deco standpoint. The bolder color choices and greater contrast between the red shades just pop all around. The darker saturation on the orange and blank give a great contrast as well. But I’m not sure, after the Studio Series, if there’s really enough...

MTMTE Hound is up for preorder on Target, presumably Pulse later. On a plus side, retail is $24.99 AND is getting the “20% Transformers” sale discount going on this week. https://www.target.com/p/-/A-94744441 I don’t know…I think I kind of like a toy deco version of him more…

Guess what? Even though I just found wave 2 a few weeks back, today I come across Wave 3! From the looks of it, a given case seems 2x each of the two new sets, with refreshes of Prime/Magnus. I wasn’t sure if the lone jet pack was fresh stock or leftover from the wave 2 case. And certainly...

I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t gotten around to watching this yet, but it did make a solid appearance at the Golden Globes, possibly setting up Oscar nods, at least. The film won Best Animated Feature Film, with “Golden” taking home the award for best original song. The film was further...

So…why hasn’t Takara bothered to release it? That sounds like the bigger, immediate, issue.

When I lived up in Iowa, Target exclusives were really easy to get in store, as well as the Walmarts I had access to. Since moving to Oklahoma, exclusives across the board have been more hit and miss than I was used to up north. Walmart has only in the past few years really gotten better about...

You know gosh darned well that they’ll be doing a “anime colors” version that all us Dinobot junkies will double dip on. I’m going to TRY and be good…but we’ll see how they tweak it for the “anime version”. By and large, I do find a larger attachment to the “slightly off” toy designs when it...

I hear tell that Mattel WAS exploring a revival of Dino-Riders circa 2015 (about the time they did that “green army men” style set for Entertainment Earth). I’m 90% confident that was sidelined once Mattel got the “proper” Jurassic license from Universal. I still hold a modicum of hope that...

Hey look, Studio Series 86 Hound! He’s part of the MTMTE 86 collection, exclusive to Target. Looks to be a repack of the Autobot Multipack from a couple years ago. Which I’m not sure is a bad thing, given some of us skipped the pack due to not double dipping on stuff we already head to get...

I kind of view Monstructor akin to the live action film’s Infernicus: small for a “combiner”, but still a ferocious foe that will intimidate smaller Transformers, much less puny organics. I mean, we DO live in a universe where Armada Perceptor is still considered a “combiner”.

I never said it was a GOOD leg. It’s like a peg leg made of a gnarled branch filled with rot. But still a leg! I’m sure all will be clear when they release the body ca…oh, wait, ICE doesn’t use those. Given the quality of people that ICE seems willing to accept, I’m not sure most of them...

I mean…probably? We’ll know for sure at Toy Fair next month, but Playmates license expires December 31, 2026 and they get an additional 90 days to sell off inventory. Mutant Mayhem 2 was slated for release in October, but saw a delay to September of 2027 last spring. I STRONGLY suspect that a...

I did a big post over in the Marvel Toy Thread, time for the Star Wars update! Epic World of Action is not continuing (which you might have been able to guess given the lack of support and stuff skipping US retail). On the back of the upcoming Mandalorian film, Hasbro is overhauling the kids...
