I mean, as it stands, the entire BRAND of Masters of the Universe is collector-oriented. Much like GI Joe. While ACCESSIBLE to younger audiences, the brand (either Origins or Masterverse) is very much oriented to a collector audience. Because I know KIDS sure aren’t asking for a Thundercats...

“Slime” is still a messy thing, and I’m not sure is much of a “driving force” in a collector themed product for it. In addition, I’m not sure Mattel wants the hassle associated with testing a compound and making sure it doesn’t adversely effect the years of products they’ve made, nor how the...

Not to divert from our usual black humor, but I’ve seen the same thing here. I think it’s the Air Force Base we’re right next to. I still maintain that the air flight activity “stirs up” the local atmosphere enough to be disruptive element in storm paths and intensity. Not to a grand degree...

To celebrate the new Fortnite Crossover with Power Rangers, they made a live action trailer, featuring live action interpretations of Fortnite characters.

Stoopid mainstream, stealing nerds’ made up terms again! ”Clanker” has gained popularity in recent weeks as a derogatory term used against AI, machines and self guided drones. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/ai-backlash-brewing-clanker-says-growing-frustrations-emerging-tech-rcna222231

Heads up for Walmart, I guess: Apparently, Walmart is doing a big feature station this fall for assorted lines. One side is all Hasbro collector lines. The shocking thing is that these displays even sport actual PRODUCT DISPLAYS akin to what you might see at Barnes and Noble or in Target Lego...

YOU were the one who fussed about not knowing about the 40th Anniversary Rhino :p But yeah, I DID get the Condor in 40th deco. The premium wasn't too bad ($45 vs 40), but the $10 shipping is a bit rough after dealing with free shipping from all my other "sources". But the "proportional...

Nifty, Blaze Entertainment’s Evercade platform (a retro-oriented physical game ecosystem) just announced what is, presumably, the first in several collections featuring Rare (Donkey Kong Country, Battletoads, Killer Instinct, etc). First collection is due in November, heavily biased towards the...

*Blows dust off thread* Updates for MeTV Toons for fans of old cartoons- Since launching last year, coverage has expanded to DirectTV services, Philo, frndlytv, and FuboTV Recent news from them has indicated that MeTV Toons is in the process of adding the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

So that no one can say they don't have ample warning...I'm looking at YOU, Mr Nytetrayn... The Loyal Subjects has a slate of products slated for preorder going active tomorrow, August 5th. In addition to the 40th Anniversary slate of redecos for MASK, preorders will be going up for the rest of...

In fairness, leaked listings for next year have a Scourge Pirate Ship, a Deep Sea Soundwave, a Megatron with Drill (likely a drill tank thing?), and Lockdown, while Optimus Primal and Cheetor are joining the Autobots. With a Hound listings associated with being a Yeti, so it might just be a...

Oh, I’m quite aware of its flaws, both the show and toys. But I’ll also say that, for some reason, the toys’ weirdness really worked for me, though I certainly see why it didn’t for others. I’d still argue it remains a little bit unappreciated, but enough time has passed and we’ve gotten so...

Voting along party lines, the Senate OBVIOUSLY confirmed Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro as Attorney General for Washington DC. She joins a cadre of former Fox News personalities that now inhabit key federal positions...

FOR NOW…. It’s easier…and maybe cheaper than trying to dig up the old toys. If I were guessing.

It’s what I’ve dubbed the “re-quel”. It’s a reboot AND sequel that basically “passes the squint test”. In that, in broad strokes, it doesn’t DIRECTLY contradict the prior material, but it also tries to stand on its own without that prior material being necessary to understand the current...

They’re saving that for a “retro-packaged” version of Perceptor.

That works WAY better than it should and I resent you putting that notion in my head.

Just for context: Spinmaster has pared the accessories down to 2 for the 4” line, with the newer Batman Ninja line going for the “sprue weapons rack” gimmick of the old TMNT line to increase accessories while keeping costs down. The Superman movie figures, functionality, come with one...

No wonder Centurions looks so good for being made in 1986…it was contract work from Sunrise! Seriously, some of the sequences I’ve seen in episodes are astounding for the era, much less for something made to sell toys.

Pre-orders are up for Console Heroes: a mini-diorama line with 1.5” figurines. The current slate is styled after Sega Genesis carts, and has Super Street Fighter 2, Altered Beast, Sonic 2 and 3, plus a Genesis display console featuring a slate of villains like Mecha Robotnik, Mecha Sonic, Mr X...
