Yeah, I was trying to think of a color that might work and I think a dark purple for the base with metallic blue/teal would have popped. Something a bit Dark Energon, y'know?

The last Core Class wave for 2024, from Evan Brooks. Galvatron is expected and Geocron is a retool of Bouldercrash. https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/06/12/legacy-united-core-class-infernac-universe-geocron-energon-galvatron-revealed-513365 I always appreciate a differentiating head sculpt, so...

Mark posted stock images of Metalhawk. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8IeCdNuHMS/ I DO like the more muted yellow, but I like the brighter grey on the original. By and large, I appreciate the effort for a package refresh, but I don't see any need to get him. Good for those that missed him...

That's a pretty late run for the figure, too. The co-sells are from a mix of 92 and 93. Might have even been part of his last cycle in the assortment. And yeah, that Cyclops is "from the same line" (X-Factor Cyclops came from the intitial series in 1991, stripe Wolverine comes from series 2...

Your Walmart stocks toys?!

Spin-Out is probably a decent stand in.... https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spin-Out_(G1)#Generations_Selects I like this little set. I think because I've been doing this so long, these new character concepts are ticklin' my pickle a bit more than another retread of Gears or Warpath or even Cosmos.

He looks solid! There are obvious compromises to get the concept to the $25, but I think they largely succeed. I'm really impressed at the purported accessory load out: 2 blasters, a matrix, and an Energon ax. I'm surprised to see light piping return, but it's a nice gimmick for this kind of...

The nerdgasm if the film DOES gives us this full look for even ONE action sequence... https://www.toyark.com/2024/06/12/deadpool-and-wolverine-hot-toys-wolverine-figure-534446

YAY!!! My ramblings were deemed postable on teh internets! :p

To be fair, Slipstream might actually scale well with other main line stuff like Earthspark and TF One whose seekers DO run in the deluxe range :p I picked up TR Quake because, y'know, when is Hasbro ever going to do Quake again? I'll probably end up getting rid of TR Quake just because this...

It'll be a glass case and his kids will charge for viewings. Because the grift can never end.

And THAT's probably why Hasbro gave Playmates a license to make toys. Their big media plans fizzled and they're passing the franchise off for cheap license dollars until...they do something? It's not entirely unprecedented: Mattel kicked Masters of the Universe to Super7 for about 4 years until...

Newest Retro wave is up! Get Cobra Commander before he sells out! I got my order in for a Retro CC and 88 Storm Shadow.

Slipstream is fine. I wish they'd make the head more angular and retool the wings to better differentiate from Windblade. But here's Quake, a retool from Skullgrin. Both Targetmasters are included, and I dare say that Quake is a DRAMATIC improvement over Skullgrin's lackluster vehicle mode...

Welp, here we are. This past weekend was “Summer Gamefest” a pseudo-replacement for E3 in terms of the new gaming reveals. And Transformers Reactivate was a no-show. While there is still, technically, SDCC and Gamescom for a potential reveal/update…its absence at the the “start” of convention...

Hasbro DID explicitly state that the color was the Pantone provided BY THE STUDIO. I recall from the stream, it was pretty obvious the Transformers guys knew it looked bad, and subtlety called out the studio for the end result. I’m almost inclined to think it’s the result of someone giving...

Jean Grey doesn’t need those Phoenix flames to land a sick burn! https://marvelousnews.com/299-35284

A perfect summation of the current state of mass retail toy collecting.
