But the info read as “Knockout”, not “Knock Out” :p And given the nature of the various capsule exclusives…I’m inclined to give the nod to an update to the G1 Micromaster

Actually, the G1 Knockout was part of a Micromaster combiner turning into a truck mounted backhoe. Which didn’t look too dissimilar to a tow truck. I think he’ll be a retool of the Tow-Line tooling.

They might just not be posted yet. Core has always seemed to on the “lower tier”, and I think it only exists, largely, to have something less than $25 for that “pillar” of the brand. That, and Hasbro’s decision to refocus on “major characters, cheap“ seems to reflect on fewer new figures, but...

A relevant update! With Disney, seemingly, winding down its physical media production, and places like Best Buy drastically cutting or outright removing retail space, Sony has stepped up! Disney has signed a deal to allow Sony to take over their physical media business. This coincides with the...

The only Galvatrons I got were the Tron version and the toy colors. I'd be game for a new iteration closer to the animation model with appropriate colors.

In terms of Leader Megatron, his prior Voyager offerings were pretty good. To the point that I’m suspecting we’ll see something like Coronation Starscream where the core figure will be a “plussed up” Voyager, and a bunch of accessories. Between blast effects and some of the myriad of weapons...

According to leaks, his wavemate is supposedly BW Dinobot Scale accuracy, she be a harsh mistress… Yeah, like it was designed to be a TOY first, and not a cheap collectible. :p Again, I’m just glad to see some representation of the series. Beast Machines, ESPECIALLY the Maximals, just feel...

Hey! Origins Rokken was posted to Mattel Creations this morning, did you get yours? Probably not, since he appeared to sell out immediately. It's just like the days of MattyCollector! :p

I'm completely here for the Beast Machines call backs. I'm also glad to see them get back to the "major characters, cheap" mentality for the Core class, in general.

The lead times for animation are far enough he likely recorded stuff well before he passed. Kevin Conroy reportedly has a role in Amazon's "Caped Crusader" animated series, though not specified since Amazon hasn't revealed much about it. The assumption is that he won't be Batman, but some...

With no open Leader spots…I can see them being a Commander class two pack with all the extra Devastator junk

Trailer is out for part 2, featuring an appearance by Batman Beyond! Also, reportedly, Kevin Conroy will voice a Batman in part 3!

My shot in the dark is a “anime colors/shading” repaint of the Deluxe G1 Prime that cropped up in listings for later this year for Legacy. Yeah, I don’t have the space or, really, the budget…but there are a couple of characters I’m fond of. And once you get 2 or 3, why not just get the whole...

Probably, but between SG, Toxitron and Comic, Hasbro might not have had an “open slot” to rerun the SS86 flavor. I want to say he DID get a rerun before his repaint tour, but that’s been a few years at this point.

I get what you’re saying, but I think the nature of streaming has…lessoned…those issues. Especially when you consider the biggest “thing“ to happen to Star Wars since Force Awakens was a streaming TV series. The luster of MCU has certainly faded, but those films remain in hefty rotation on...

According to leaked retailer listings, Swoop is on deck for some point this year. In preparation, Hasbro is doing new runs for Snarl and Slag, so you could, theory, buy all 5 Dinobots later this year without resorting to secondhand sellers.

After the X-Men 97 trailer, my YouTube feed started to get garbage on how Disney is ruining X-Men. Looking into it, it seems some of the “usual folks” are up in arms about Morph being declared non-binary by the showrunner (and a knee jerk conclusion jump to now there will suddenly be a...

If Spider-Man had a bigger budget, it went to the luxurious voice cast they managed to get. The CGI bits only appeared in a few episodes early on and only reappeared as “stock footage”. The show is actually rather notorious for the amount of reuse it did, to the point I almost believe they...

What doesn’t anymore? The new one is fine, but I think trying to push a bit more “accent” might have worked. David Hemblen’s Magneto had a distinct “Euro” accent that I don’t think any of subsequent portrayals ever touched back to. The animation though? It feels like (at least in the...

The feet are still complete garbage. At least the Jazz retool got THAT part right!
