More questions "answered" by TLS: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14Gg9ePraau/ Most are the usual dodgy answers due to the unknowable future, but they DID give a hint to future Venom members: "If you can solve this riddle: I'm a heavy hitting enforcer with muscle or mask, one wields blade and...

He’s not only an idiot, but an untrustworthy one at that. Zelenskyy is wisely getting “back up” from European leaders because any guarantees from the US are worthless, right now. Oh, and Trump’s grand plan to settle the conflict? Have Ukraine give up the territory Russia as already seized and...

I mean, if you want to keep things consistent chronologically, Universe and Alternators were both launched around Energon (Universe shortly before, Alternators practically alongside).

Yeah, I wouldn’t take chances either. I mean, NOBODY seemed to expect Erin to go from a little tropical storm in the Atlantic to blowing up to one of the strongest hurricanes on record in a matter of hours. Between escalating effects from climate change and the current administration’s...

The thread title change is PERFECT

In fairness, I think Super7 is doing more to justify the price now that we’re getting “retro o-ring style” than with their prior Kenner style figures. The deeper cuts, the cartoon orientation, the increased articulation, all come together for me. Granted, the fact we’re getting these figures...

For context for international members: Erin is the newest tropical event in the Atlantic, the first full hurricane of the 2025 season. Through Saturday, Erin roared from developing into a tropical storm into a category 5 hurricane in a matter of hours (one of the fastest developments on record...

There IS a Reaction+ Python BAT, supposedly a Target exclusive last spring. Not that I ever saw one, nor was it available online (or if it was, not for very long). I’m taking solace in that, hopefully, this is representative of strong demand which means this little line will keep going for a...

I’m surprised Mirage made the cut given his status as a retailer exclusive (here in the US, at least), and I don’t mind this direction they took. Despite looking like a jet G1 Mirage, the personality gave me something closer to RotB Mirage (especially with his powers). This little series is...

A possible impact to that “superhero fatigue”, at least here in the US, is just how fast a LOT of this stuff gets cycled down to home viewing, and then to streaming. In the case of Fantastic Four, we’re probably a month away from streaming purchase/premium rental, maybe two or three for it to...

My general vibe was that Beast Wars was a successful relaunch in 1996 and HasKen was looking for ways to capitalize on that. Transformers had been dominantly vehicles for most of its decade of existence prior, and I think Machine Wars, was a “testing the waters” thing since vehicular...

Photoshop was still a thing in the 90s. While the base assets were still made by hand, they could be digitized and modified as needed. I feel like Machine Wars ended up being an odd artifact leftover from the awkward action toy shift in 1994, when Kenner was given full control of ALL of...

Super7 has their Python Patrol Cobra Commander up for order. I snagged one. Still more than a little irritated at not being able to get a Python Patrol BAT. Hopefully, Super7 does a rerun of it, I’ve NEVER had an issue getting a Target exclusive before, so it burns me that I do with something...

Just for context on those numbers: In most cases, especially for Jurassic Park and Minecraft, a LOT of that money is coming from international grosses. Which opens up the possibility of perception and availability issues for some films. For most of the biggest films, you’re seeing a 40/60...

Sorry to dig this up, but I felt compelled to add my nickel to this: I like the idea that the “xenomorph” is some forever adapting life form. What I found amusing about the backlash about the “virus” origins is that most of the Alien 3 scripts (I’ve read the Gibson “action” version and seen the...

Beast Machines, I feel, REALLY suffered from Hasbro/Kenner's divided attention during that time. Beast Machines, of ALL of Hasbro's products of 1999-2001, felt the most "farmed out". I say this as a strong advocate for the brand! Compared to the other brands in their action portfolio, a lot...

TLS has posted answers to an AMA they held a couple weeks ago. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1MH6xmU3LG/ Confirmed Boulder Hill isn't on the slate for 2026, wave 2 will have 4 vehicles with all being classic remakes. No firm plans for Scott and TBob outside of the RHINO set, for now...

I maintain that Sigma 6 was the last, truly great, "action figure" line. Even the 2.5" Mission Scale went WAY above and beyond with integrated "mission briefings" on carded items. With full "flip book" design.

Alright, who gave Marvel productions a Bug Bite toy?
