I was actually going to make a thread speculating about this, but:
With Earthspark a flop, and recent trends pointing to MAYBE a new cartoon not being ready (not while Cyberworld is chugging along, at least), my thought process was this:
Right now, I can watch Transformers series on almost every...
The funny thing is…Hasbro has done so many different flexes and budget tricks, actually determining WHAT these might be is nigh impossible. After all, they managed to find budget to give us ALL NEW Override and Cosmos in the Velocitron set. “Leader packs” have been figure multipacks like...
Alright losers, let’s talk about toys, ‘Kay? :p

nune found listings in Walmart’s systems about next spring’s capsule line:
Two Deluxe listings (”Cybertronic” and ”Cybertread”) and listings for a...
Or this SS86 Hot Rod will end up a retailer exclusive since we already got an SS86 Hot Rod release (in two packaging flavors, even). Under a retailer exclusive initiative, they can be more flexible with the price point.
<=Still wants the darker toy deco version rather than comic/cartoon magenta…
Black Friday sales!
Walmart has several MOTU Origins items marked down with bonus "Walmart Cash" if you're part of Walmart+. Even without the incentive, some decent deals:
MOTUxTMNT Leatherhead for $11
Necro-Conda, $10
Vintage Masterverse Skeletor, $15
Origins Fang Man, 16.42
Origins Grizzlor...
Several additional two packs are on the website for Walmart, but not available. Points to a big variety at stores. These will NOT be available for retail purchase until Friday, 11/28. Images are out that some stores have already rolled the display out to floors.
The Walmart.com...
Walmart's online listing for the 2 pack bundles for Black Friday. Most sold out instantly (or were never available), but it should give you a good idea of what you might find in stores. Note that Walmart's actually selling the bundles for $15 (!)...
Here's a list of most of the Black Friday bundles from Walmart. They're actually on sale for $15. Most have sold out, but it gives an idea of what should be available if you dare venture out later in the week...
A surprise to me, but the Hot Wheels Collab figures are available at Walmart (YMMV) in the "collector spot" they've been supporting the past several months. $34.99, which may be a couple dollars more than your preferred online retailers.
Toy inventor Burt Meyer passed last month at age 99. Among his most famous inventions are Lite-Bright, Rock’em Sock’em Robots, and the board game, Mouse Trap.

Hasbro DOES, in fact, have a modest warehouse space where they have archival materials. Steve Evans went through part of it during a 10/27 presentation, and showed a blue print for one of the original 1982 GI Joe 3.75" figures, kept in a drawer with a bunch of other preproduction paperwork...
BBTS is now showing in stock for a majority of the new MASK line, excluding the BBTS exclusive RHINO with Scott and TBob. Orders should be delivered by Christmas, as was foretold.
If this isn’t just an attempt to stir up antagonism towards Chris Cocks, then it might be a complex misunderstanding of how Hasbro generally functions. Hasbro DOES have a material archive, they DO have old archival assets, I’m sure designers HAVE donated materials (especially under Goldner, who...
I think it's the lack of any sclera deco. Especially in instances where you have odd skin tones, the "whites of the eyes" becomes a much starker detail. I think this becomes even more noticeable on more "animation oriented" figures.
Sadly, not much of this wave really strikes me. Certainly...
