That multipack is impressive on multiple levels. In addition to the obvious troop builder aspect, all of those (except the Pit Warden) feel like “shadow variants” to other characters. The Paragon Champion almost screens a take on the “Man O’War” from Revolution. The Horde Revenant clearly...

It, too, has a bumpin’ intro:

I agree. It goes to show that, with the right approach, NO GI Joe character is really irredeemable. Some images from Toy Fair (for those that don’t want to watch a video or haven’t looked anything up). Nothing overtly “new”, but a LOT of on hand images of new figures. The increased presence...

The season itself is pretty solid too. Built on some continuity from the first (which was almost an “Avengers lite” with the Force Works focus), but the majority of the season was firmly an “Iron Man” show with Force Works being more guest stars. I still disappointed that the MVC War Machine...

From what I see of the old design, the intent seemed to be a deluxe-ish Optimus Prime that fit into the chest (Looks a bit too big to fit a core-ish sized figure like Hot Rod). I haven't seen enough of the design to extrapolate where the "front cab" goes in robot mode. I kind of wonder if the...

A bit of treat for Armored Core fans this month: The first 3 Armored Core titles on PS1 will be added to the classics catalog next week, while tomorrow's final drop for Astrobot (for now...) is called "Armored Hardcore". So it's safe to say the level will have some nods to the classic mech...

That’s probably my biggest “plus” to seeing Nacelle reissued: whatever mold/growth/reaction that afflicted the original will hopefully be resolved. I don’t have any need for either, but I will never knock Hasbro for doing these sorts of reruns. I think I posted before that I don’t use Nova...

This is what JTPrime posted last year in terms of the Walmart capsule. He indicated that there were still a couple of MIA deluxe figures (my guess is a Cybertron Red Alert and Hardtop reworked from Beachcomber/Ruckus)

I'm still placing even odds that Onyx Prime is the "foundation tooling" for a Cybertron Scourge

Stock pics for Sideways and Excellion got posted by Walmart, probably part of the Collector Con thing coming in a couple weeks. Leaked listings indicate the "Cybertron capsule" as being fairly significant, so we might be seeing multiple waves...

:( https://www.allspark.com/home/threads/metal-cardbot-coming-to-the-us.3354/ Includes a Youtube link where TMReviews talked with Ababyss in terms of distribution and plans with the line

Given the amount of teeth gnashing over SM33 and Mando Gideon in the 4" Star Wars Epic line (the kids stuff) being made before Black Series or Vintage, I REALLY hope Hasbro pulls that with a Cyberworld Riptide

Bandai has deemed fit to grace Tubi TV with another of its failed Gundam series: AGE! Entire AGE series is streaming subbed for us all to enjoy and probably say "it's not THAT bad".

And here’s John Warden doing a run through of the next wave(s) of Jem products

Modernized recreations. Think almost like Missing Link. Characters will be the same size, but with added articulation and deco. The Vehicles will be…probably as close as they can without treading on license issues. But will feature modern “pluses” like foot pegs, modified sculpting (the...

Stumbled across this among the assorted Toy Fair coverage, but online retailer/Distributor Agabyss had a booth at Toy Fair. In addition to coverage for Blokees and a platform for BOSS Fight Studio, they revealed that they were working on bringing over Korean transforming robot series Metal...

I mean, I'll have a good laugh about such a thing. But I'm a petty asshole, and I'll admit it

A few more thoughts (don’t worry, I’m about done and need to move on to the OTHER toy brands that showed stuff :p ): Solitary Grimlock: This broadly extends to Star Wars as well, and I understand Hasbro doesn’t really push THAT much above $30 for its kids lines to begin with, but…I wish there...

Further, posters from around the web more familiar with the comics have noted substantial design similarities with IDW character Riptide As I’ve come to grips with the line (largely because it didn’t fit the concept I had created in my head)…I can’t find myself to hate it THAT much. Again, so...
