Since I have to work tomorrow (AND during the day as opposed to my typical night shift), I got into the mood by watching...Die Hard. Yes, it IS a Christmas movie, and it's been a hot while since I actually watched it all the way through so I figure what the heck.

I mean, some more appropriate bulk would be nice. T30 is a bit lanky instead of the squat chunk the original toy, or the walking brickhouse from the cartoon.

According to Joe Moore over on the TFW networks, Paramount has been pushing increases across all their licensees. A number of Star Trek licensees have dropped the brand, one reported a fee increase of 2000%, due to the increased license fees and supply minimums...

News is hitting the web that Paramount Global has opted NOT to renew Playmates Holdings longstanding license for the TMNT brand. This IS actually quite shocking. Playmates did a LOT of work to keep TMNT viable in a number of off years, and the TMNT brand basically built the Playmates toy...

I, too, found AotP wave 3 at my local Walmart. Kind of feels like there's some "rushing" going on, maybe to avoid Trump's Schrodinger's Tariffs, maybe to free up shipping for the Star Wars and Spider-Man toys that will anchor the toy aisle this summer. This probably means we won't see any new...

I fixed it, I fixed it! Joke was that the sword looks like the OG Nerf swords from 1988!

FWIW, The Blokees Wheels Swerve (now in stock at EE) seemingly features an unpainted version of the My First Blaster, so…

I will continue to profess my like for the Cyberverse Season 3 Hot Rod deco. The toy version (black base) is fine, but I think the cartoon version (which had a REALLY dark, near black, orange) would make for a nifty take. I’m surprised Hasbro didn’t use the new swords for a little cross brand...

The legends are true: https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/12/19/studio-series-86-40th-anniversary-g1-voyager-hot-rod-first-look-553168 SS86 Hot Rod in magenta colors with a gaggle of new accessories. This puts credence to prior images, which were passed off as “digibash”, which means this might end...

I’m pleasantly surprised to see that Smokescreen ended up being NOT a G1/ER rerun. Sometimes, even the retailer listings aren’t fool proof :p I like some of the “homogenization” done to Smokescreen, with some of the head elements kind of evoking Drift to me. Not sure about the lanky body...

Larian (Divinity and Baldur’s Gate 3 dev) got into similar hot water because they dared to mutter the forbidden term, “AI”. The reality I see is that machine learning and generative algorithms are here to stay. You can’t ignore it, you can’t hide from it. The best you can do is figure out how...

So, Trumpy is having a national address in under an hour...what illegal thing will he say or do?! My top 3 guesses: 1. He's going to have a self-congratulatory speech about his "first year" that will amount to "old man rambling for 15 minutes" 2. We're going to war with Venezuala 3. He's going...

Yeah, it’s very good…but not AMAZING. I still wonder how much of this game is salvaged from whatever Bandai Namco was doing. Maybe the yonic stylings are leftovers from that, it wouldn’t be out of place among Asian developers. Then again, that never stuck out to me until it was pointed out...

So…not sure if it has been reported (or if anyone really cares), BUT… I saw wave 2 here in southwest Okeehoma. Not sure what the “release cadence” for this sort of line will be, but there ARE listings for a wave 3. So I guess we’ll see. Does feel like Wave 2 is hitting a little later than it...

I’ve been burned on the opposite end: Too many of the stuff I preordered ended up being dramatically reduced later on, especially Voyagers and Leaders. Except the GI Joe stuff. GI Joe is still all over the place.

It’s not a BAD time to get in before the next campaign act. Preorder it, and you get immediate access to the Paladin. I was able to get about an hour in this morning and…Blizzard has revamped the entire game. Again. I think this is the third time (at least) they’ve done this sort of system...

Word is spreading that, just hours after release, players are finding Paladin builds that COMPLETELY destroy any sense of balance in the game’s design. The Hammerdin lives again! And reports are coming in that the game is intermittently broke on consoles after the update, with VoH content not...

Just a little FYI: Entertainment Earth seems to be getting most of the first wave of 2026’s assortments as IN STOCK, including Deluxe and Leader case assortments with select individual characters available (Quintus and Quickstrike, that I saw off hand). So if you can’t wait, there’s an option...

To the surprise of almost no one, The Game Awards featured a cinematic preview of D4’s next major expansion: The Lord of Hatred. After seeing feedback from Vessel and the seasons, Blizzard delayed this expansion from a release this year into next spring. In addition to adding a new location...

At the Game Awards, not one but TWO, new Star Wars games were announced. First up is Fate of the Old Republic. No real details (not even game genre) aside from a cinematic first look trailer. The game is being developed by newly established Arcanaut Studios, headed by former Mass Effect and...
