Fero has let us down, he’s usually the one who is the first to post a response about these films :p It was decent! The film is tightly structured, but script is a bit on the thin side. It’s largely the performances that carry things through, and the cast did an admirable job all around...

More toy news: In Demand Toys revealed the spring (fully year?) 2025 Epic Hero Deluxe figures: Chewbacca (with Wookie Armor and firing bowcaster)- A new mold featuring the extended articulation seen in most 2025 figures. Captain Brutus- The wolf pirate comes with a new harness to attach a...

I guess this kind of goes here? Hasbro is rerunning the previously Amazon exclusive Final Strike Battle packs. Alphastrike Counterforce featured Slamdance, G2 Sideswipe, and Trenchfoot; while the Phantomstrike Squadron featured Skywarp and a trio of Battlemasters. Both are being offered to Fan...

To add my 2 cents to the existing discussion: I will IMMEDIATELY buy any new Dino Transformers. Same old characters be damned, so I’m totally on board with Diplodocus Optimus Prime and anklyosaur Bumblebee. Computron is THE combiner I want done. The disparities between the Hasbro and Takara...

Something I feel to add to that is that…when something comes out doesn’t matter much anymore. Even back in the 2000s, once a show was done, it was “done”. Aside from some home media releases, the shows never re-aired. Even in the era of DVD sets, somebody would have to go out of their way to...

I’m terribly mixed on this. On the one hand, I’ve already committed to both Star Saber and Deathsaurus. Am I “in for a penny, in for a pound” with Victory stuff? Costs and space are (again, as it seems like I keep saying whenever something new is shown) a pressing issue. I managed to live...

FWIW, My local Walmart was starting to mark down some leftover Earthspark stuff. Megatron was down to $12, Bumblebee was $17? Plus Tacticons were getting marked down as well. Stores will probably be doing a big reset this spring for summer movie toy build up and brand refreshing. In terms of...

First trailer has been posted for this summer’s Fantastic Four reboot from Marvel Studios. Expect Captain America to have a trailer and coverage at next weekend’s Superbowl ad slate. Unless revealed early, expect Hasbro to reveal their toy slate in the coming weeks, particularly at next...

Finally, a MC with a relatable problem for these times! :p

It was…in the US. The suit(s) are being filed in international courts like Canada and Australia and Ireland. That’s a big reason I think it’s somebody associated with the Shuster estate eye-balling a quick settlement for some easy money.

The..*ahem*…”reason” he cited was that immigrants and terrorists were flooding over the Canadian border with fentanyl. But I’m inclined to say that Canada’s border and travel policies are no worse than the US’s, so…

And I think the biggest difference is the SCOPE of the projects. Batgirl, for all the interest, was being developed for HBO Max as a streaming film. Acme vs Coyote was a mid-range comedy. Superman 25 was developed as a massive tentpole event with a massively higher budget and exposure level...

The Cyber stuff kind of blends together in late night/early morning hours :p I do like the new thread title, though

Yeah, as I think many were expecting, nothing was revealed. Cyberverse may have appeared at Nuremberg, but was obscured by walls and NDAs. Guess we’re waiting until Toy Fair in a month (barring any additional leaks).

This thread be getting a bit dusty, so here’s an update from GI Joe Day! https://news.hisstank.com/2025/02/01/g-i-joe-day-2025-s-n-a-k-e-a-w-e-striker-darklon-slice-n-dice-retro-and-more-90201 Next Retro Wave is Flint, Tele-Viper, and Cover Girl (Mass Device flavored). Continuing the MASS...

New wave of Deluxe figures. Fascinatingly, Hashtag is actually the Takara version (the retooled Warrior) of Hashtag. I’m actually wondering (based on some leaked information on Earthspark deluxe figures) if Hasbro just isn’t scrapping the Warrior price point completely and just shifting...

God we’re so old…

Sounds good on paper…until you actually look at the state of grocery in many markets. A LOT of places are “food deserts” where the only option are convenience stores and dollar stores. I have a car, I have options. But many others don’t. My sister has a gluten intolerance. Guess what’s in...

If we’re going recent, you might as well include Rias Gremory ;)

And Firestar. And Daphne. And female Ranma (in the 90s, the female version of Ranma was EVERYWHERE on anime advertising). And Lina Inverse. And Nicole Kidman. And Misty. God DAMN our generation conditioned to like the reds
