Speaking of Target…it’s Circle Week! Their counter to Amazon Prime week, they are offering $10 off $40 or more toy purchases. Online and in store, and it DOES apply to preorders (like the upcoming multipack or Devastation recolors)

Huh, TLS’s My Pet Monster plush actually sold out. In other sales news, according to Retro Toy Escapades (I’ve yet to find a corroborating source, so keep your salt handy), TLS reported sales of over 100K units of MASK was sold within its first day on sale. As of the time I’m posting this...

That’s what I thought I had heard about the bill. So what will probably happen is this: Midterm impact will be limited because Republicans can run on the “See? We passed the big bill and nothing bad happened!” lie. Assuming people even realize how bad it is by the time of the 2028 election, we...

Also, some juicy 2026 rumors: MOTUxThundercats wave 3 is rumored to be new versions of Lion-O and Panthro joined by “Panthor Man”. The latter, presumably, being a modified Battlecat Man to evoke Skeletor’s steed. Toy Habits scrounged up some nifty custom images of what it might look like...

Might be a little bias, but I’ll never NOT be a fan of the Laser/New Adventures “Cyborg body horror” Skeletor.

Did you get into Wonko’s supply of hopium? ;p We’ll see. While national sources show increased negativity to Trump and his policies…I’m seeing precious little PRACTICAL change in the political persuasions where I work in southern Oklahoma (a region that WILL be impacted by the fallout from...

Something must have shaken the cobwebs loose in Hasbro’s kid department, new toys are going up for order for the kids Epic World of Action: First off, Amazon has an seemingly exclusive Vehicle pack, featuring IG-11, Grogu and a Speeder Bike (from Mandalorian Season 1). $20, but keep an eye out...

From how the current and former Hasbro guys have explained it, how I‘ve understood it: Whenever you change the product design or format, it has to go through a new set of management and budgetary approvals. Almost like a new product, even if the changes are minimal. “Package refreshes”, which...

For my nickel on Prowl and Sunstreaker, this is what I’m suspecting: Prowl is probably getting dusted off because the character just hasn’t been available in a hot minute outside of higher budget retail exclusives and whatever the eff is going on with Earthspark. He’s also a name/character...

Television composer Mark Snow passed today at age 78. A diverse catalog of work across television and film, his most famous works were in collaboration with TV writer and producer, Chris Carter. In addition to scoring The Lone Gunmen and Millennium, Snow composed the iconic opening track to 90s...

Fan favorite and frequent Quentin Tarantino collaborator, Michael Madsen, reportedly passed this morning at age 67. Responding to a 911, first responders found Madsen unresponsive and was pronounced dead at 8:25 AM. Cause of death has not been reported...

In hand images of Cyber Changers are starting to filter out. Included here is even a comparison shot with Core Optimus Prime. https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/07/03/transformers-cyberworld-wave-1-cyber-changers-armored-cyber-changers-in-hand-images-541314 Amazon Global Store UK apparently has...

Perfect Dark is canned, despite reaching out to Crystal Dynamics for help: https://www.theverge.com/news/696877/xbox-perfect-dark-everwild-cancelled-the-initiative-layoffs Rare's fantasy title, Everwild, is also getting scuttled, despite the website still being active (at the moment)...

I would be shocked if they got to it in the next year. I'm still open to the idea of them NOT even getting to it simply because of economic reasons. If TLS made it, I'm betting a $250+ price range. Is there are enough demand? We'll find out. Personally, I gravitate to the "mobile bases"...

FWIW, getting the BBTS Wave 1 bundle IS the best overall value if you’re all in. Save like $30 over buying each, but only costs $15 more than buying the entire set with the base Rhino. I’m still debating. MASK was never a “major” toy line for me. It is one of the miasma of assorted “dabbles”...

Orders are up! BBTS has a bundle of the entire wave (including the exclusive Rhino, but not the basic version) for $325. Due to arrive in late August!

The first trailer for Edgar Wright and Glen Powell's new adaption of Stephen King's (yes, THAT Stephen King) cult classic The Running Man has dropped: I was a fan of the original novel, with its gritty thriller angle. And with the rise of reality TV and social media...the novel has revealed a...

The new MASK line is launching in a few hours. TLS has a retailer list, but for US consumers, BBTS will have first dibs, with other retailers rolling out September 1. Due to the tariff shenanigans this past spring, prices DID increase (though, TLS also added the variant masks in the offerings...

“Efficient“ can also mean “fast and shoddy”. I’m waiting for the first major weather event to run through and possibly tear down walls or flood out.

From all shown and indicated, TLS’s MASK line is roughly comparable to Masters of the Universe Origins or Transformers Missing Link: reasonably close approximations of the originals with modern flourishes. They SHOULD be compatible…but keep in mind that TLS’s will be new molds so there might be...
