All I ever get are bent boxes if they don’t just cancel my order!

I applaud at how they managed to incorporate his “special lenses” into the accessories, making a big set of glasses.

Toy Fair update on some toys: Superman 25 was MIA. Probably going to be a BIG stand alone reveal in the coming weeks (or WB is trying to “keep things secret” like Disney’s bull). Spin Master’s final big push on Batman will be a mix of DC Metal Force and Batman Ninja Strike, inspired by the...

Digging through the information across multiple sites, this is a rough “yearly plan” for the Cyberworld line. I do NOT expect any additional, mass retail, items to be revealed or released before the spring season. This feels very much in the same “mold” as how Hasbro is handling their Epic...

Scout-ish? Somewhere around 4” according to press material for the primary Cyber Changer figures. Grimlock runs about 9 inches, while Scorponok towers even taller. Given the standardized nature of the figures, I’d suspect the mandibles don’t do anything. But he WILL come with that oversized...

The image collection from Tokunation (TFW2005 sister site). In addition to a solid slate of images, they also posted comments from the Playmates representatives concerning the goals and plans for the line: They also explicitly teased a Dragonzord for 2026, featuring the ability to combine with...

Ol’ Ben Yee was at Toy Fair and actually snapped some pics from the back wall, giving us solid looks at Elite 1 (robot mode), Off Road Bumblebee (alt mode, no robot mode on display it seems), as well as both robot and alt mode for Armor Up Chop Shop (and all his Beast Wars-iness) and Armor Up...

The UV did a number on his paint job though… For reference on what they MIGHT be able to do with the limited run times…remember that the first two seasons of the original Clone Wars cartoon were 3 minutes each episode. HOPEFULLY, they got a solid crew that can manage a compelling product...

I am having a bitch of a time trying to discern WHAT about it has been changed (it was remarked by Hasbro that some minor retooling occured). Part of me is saying they DID tweak the face, but I’m not sure if they actually tweaked the mold or simply casted it in grey plastic removing some of the...

https://www.instagram.com/rebelscum.official/p/DGriPetMCdh/?img_index=1 Rebelscum snapped a few pics of the Epic World of Action display, and they still managed to miss some new stuff because it wasn’t “collector stuff”. But it confirmed a package refresh of the Deluxe Boba Fett, a new Speeder...

My big gripe with the mainstream geek press, as it is EVERY year it seems, is the “blinders” they have on. Yes, some “natural shots” of these are nice, but Hasbro has had press images (if not natural samples) months in advance. Want to know what Hasbro DOESN’T market months in advance? The...

So, I guess Tformers DID get a few pics of the back wall. I’m on a mobile device and not sure if I can get the direct links copied, BUT…included are clear shots of the following: One image/honeycomb featured Cyber Changer Starscream (robot mode) with Off Road Bumblebee and Armor Up Optimus...

Some additional info and details, since most major press are basically ignoring this line: TFW2005 user Bloodraged189 spotted several additional figures located in the back display at Toy Fair. Reviewing the pics myself, I can see what looks like… Armor up Optimus Prime Off Road Bumblebee Elita...

Some solid reveals this year! Perceptor didn’t “click with me” when originally released. But the tweaks made here just work for me. I’ll probably get it (and Ratbat and Ramhorn being bonuses). Vortex- Not going in any of the combiners, but I will readily admit that his vehicle mode turned out...

Much of that sums up my view of this initiative. And I think Earthspark will finish out this fall, there are still products in the pipeline for it. I think it’s worth reiterating that Cyberworld is NOT a “replacement“ for the older kid series like Earthspark, but a “third pillar” type...

I. ADORE. THOSE! Fresh ideas, in an established scale, and they just look so damned COOL. Boneshaker just gives me “mad max Stunticon” vibes, while Twin Mill I’m going to turn into SideBurn’s loose cannon brother, DuoFlare :p Don’t care they’ll probably cost 50-100% more than a normal...

That’s the general state of things in the action figure sector, it seems. Looking at the slate…I think it’s fine. I’m pleased that the TOYS for KIDS seems to be the focus, as there are no reported plans for a “Lightning Collection” type collector line at the moment. I question the value...

Collider got the scoop on Cyberworld. https://collider.com/transformers-cyberworld-scorponok-strike-battle-set-images/ It’s…a direction. It’s actually NOT that far off from what I thought it would be (go me?), but the execution? Eh…I need to percolate on these a bit. I‘m digging some of the...

For one thing, I HIGHLY doubt that after 35 years, the molds even still existed. And if you are going to have to remake them from scratch, essentially, you might as well put some modern polish on them. Hasbro/Kenner were always outliers in how long they kept (and reused) molds. A famous story...

McFarlane lost DC, but Warner made it up to him by giving him Mortal Kombat Klassics! New collector line, 7” due later this year. First wave is Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Liu Kang, and Kitana with alternate hands and key accessories. First two pack is Mileena (Kitana repaint with alternate head and...
