Local Walmart finally did their Christmas toy set, and Cyberworld was well represented. Lots of newer items on deck at “launch”; they clearly had some wave 2 CyberChangers going by the lone Wheeljack I found. Waves 1 AND 2 of the Armored CyberChangers were present (very tempted by ChopShop...

Big Lob's goin' PRIME TIME, baby! https://toynewsi.com/278-60112 *Still bitter over the mess of TRYING to get Nemesis Enforcer and Pythona, so I've largely settled onto the ReAction+ versions of all them* Plus a new Night Viper. I'm a little unsure of the redesign at the moment, I kind of...

My Walmart finally reset and put out Seaspray and Brawn, to my surprise. Picked up a new Seaspray for better packaging than the crushed one I got from their delivery. However, they are now officially 29.99, so if you preordered they were cheaper. I saw all the 6" stuff kicked up to that price...

According to the interwebs, it supposedly DID get a handful of releases over the decades. But given its lack of success and continued obscurity, any media releases were probably smaller runs. The only DVD release was from Anchor Bay in 1999 (before the format was mainstream), who generally...

Keep in mind that those are from 3rd Party sellers, not Walmart

Something Disney related: Their semi-lost, box office bomb from 1983, "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (based on the Ray Bradbury novel) is now available for streaming. This is probably the easiest way to see the film in decades.

Amazon has thrown down the gauntlet, so everyone else is jumping in on deals this week. It's probable that retailers will counter/match each other's sale prices in the next couple days. At Walmart, Early Access is up for their Walmart+ deals, among the items I've found: Cyberworld Scorponok-...

I didn't recall having too bad a time back when I fiddled with Red Hat (pre-Fedora) Linux in college. But that was with a dedicated book, and its been a hot couple decades (with a half dozen medical issues and a couple brushes with death) since I messed with Linux so I'm pretty much starting...

Target is matching that price as well. Target is doing another Circle Week, so that means they have $10 off a $40 toy purchase, which includes Transformers products (like the newly released exclusives). Or if you spend $75 or more, you get a whopping $20 off your purchase.

Not yet, but all 3 were on display during SDCC, so there are plenty of images from that event floating around. Yes, TriKlops DOES get a Doomseeker drone, IIRC. Speak, and images shall deliver: https://toynewsi.com/241-60062 Styled after the cartoon’s “streamlining” of the original toy design...

Yeah, I was so disappointed to see the initial slate be so “samey” to the other Cartoon collections in terms of character selection and “base versions”. It’s like, cool, we got a 200x Ram Man…but he’s not tremendously different than the last couple Origins version he’s got (outside of the wacky...

In the build up to next week’s Walmart Collector’s Con, it seems Jakks Pacific is getting in on the Metroid 4 hype by previewing some new Metroid releases in their Nintendo Toy Line: First up is a new UV light up Metroid, the first large scale Metroid (6”) toy they’ve produced in YEARS-...

Early 2000s nostalgia has entered the chat! After Armada got some love in Transformers, we’re seeing the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon get some attention in the Origins segment. Mattel revealed most of the line at SDCC, but here’s in package shots of the first wave...

Heck, I just saw one at Walmart this evening! :p

Kind of, sort of, Collab news: Hasbro will be revealing new GI Joe Classified figures next week, and one of the render previews is of the Cobra Mole Rat (Stage 2) https://toynewsi.com/278-59961 The collab element comes from the fact the corrupting element that Mole Rats are mining is...

Hasbro has been dropping render previews for upcoming figures likely to be revealed next week: Hit and Run https://toynewsi.com/278-59937 And Mole Rat (Stage 2): https://toynewsi.com/278-59961

Wait until you see how it's packed :p Mine was filled in a box that was about an inch too short, so...

I mean…on the surface? I like the idea of such a major publisher going private. EA, like most of the industry, have so focused on ”delivering value to shareholders” and “make line go up”, it has almost put itself into an unsustainable corner. Without that shareholder pressure, part of me feels...

Y’know how things look TOO good to be true? That’s what this feels like. Can it really be this simple? I feel like something doesn’t quite…add up…you guys get what I mean?

Yeah, but I’m going with the slightly more positive spin of this being Hasbro’s attempt to “space out” content for marketing purposes and not trend too far ahead in introducing characters that aren’t necessarily available at retail. Then again, we’ve seen Chop Shop introduced along with Elita...
