There’s that Squash and Squeeze Slimer toy. Not to scale with any of the toys, but it’s pretty nice for a mass market retail offering from Hasbro. Also, if you guys liked the Bounty Collection, Hasbro’s doing it again for Ghostbusters: The Ecto Collection, featuring Slimer and the mini-puffs...

Does it still have the back hatch door? Again, it looks like the 2021 version got some retooling done, and I’m curious if that element retained. And again, it looks like Hasbro fixed the windshield (the 2021 version was “flatter”, messing up the vehicle profile more than the off scaling...

I was really disappointed Hasbro didn’t stretch the Afterlife line with even a “kid line” set of RGB figures. I know the Kenner reissues are a thing, but you know Hasbro can do better with modern design techniques.

So, word is that disappointing sales of earlier Buzzworthy Deluxe figures lead to the cancellation of the Hound/ DotM Hatchet wave. Hound is getting released in a multipack…and I think Hasbro could do the same with Hatchet. Base the set on the “Highway Pursuit” sequence, pack in Crowbar and...

I still maintain that Sigma 6 was the last truly great action figure product we’ve seen. I still think had it come out just 2-3 years sooner? The GI Joe brand would have gone in a much different direction. But the toys? The presentation, the detail, the accessibility, the styling, nothing...

We’ll see how the others turn out. My best guess is that we’ll see the other figures get “super cartoon accurate” decos (including painted/solid windows instead of clear plastic), similar to the Buzzworthy Cliffjumper. While Hound is the clear highlight for most, a “more accurate” or “no clear...

Roughly. Depends if they’re 3.75 sized or 1:18 scaled (there IS a difference). The term “action figure set” makes me think of a one off type item. Probably the 84 team, if we’re lucky, they’ll get some articulation in addition to a figure set. Amazon is posting listings as well, with...

In response to legislation in several states, Pornhub is blocking access to their site in protest. The protest stems from unreasonable and problematic requirements states are trying to enforce on adult sites, including accessing personal ID information. Currently, five states are cut off from...

It's the same deals as when those no-name DVD distributors were able to put early WB cartoons on those $1 DVDs. The copyrights expired on the earliest Warner Bros cartoons, allowing them to be redistributed. There is nothing Disney can do to prevent people from redistributing the original...

Target leaked a few new toys, including promo pics for the Paranormal Discovery Slimer, Zap and Blast Proton Blaster, and the Track and Trap Ecto-1. https://toynewsi.com/278-51124 The Echo-1 is interesting in that it looks like a retool of the Afterlife Echo-1, replacing the flat windshield...

I expect at LEAST a couple waves of Plasma Series. But I think it'll be a LOT more like Indiana Jones, with a hefty number of retailer exclusives, and about a dozen retail figures over the year. I expect Slimer, even if he ends up a BAF to get you to get the kids.

I don’t know, I kind of feel like it’s being a bit cheaty to label the large, $100+ figures as “best of the year” given that, for that price, THEY SHOULD BE! I’ve gotten a pile of stuff this year, but haven’t been able to really get into much. But I will say the Beast Alliance Battlemasters...

Got a question for you Ghostbusters diehards: The Fright Features figures are REALLY triggering some nostalgia, so I’m thinking, maybe, snag an Ecto 1 to go with them. The options (thus far) are the Kenner REissue Ecto 1 (around $30-35) or the Afterlife basic Ecto 1 (around $20). Both seem to...

I don’t know, Wonko. My faith in humanity is on pretty shaky ground after the past decade or so.

The only reason I had any association with Barry Allen, the character, was because of his inclusion in the 1990 Flash TV show. My one big ting of regret about the CW Flash show was how quickly it dumped the “CSI with superheroes” angle they teased early on (and the old TV show DID make an...

New movie means...NEW TOYS! Found at an Austin, TX area toy store, Hasbro has a new series of "kids figures" on deck. Look about 5-6" scale with the kids being a bit shorter than adults. Each figure appears 5 POA and include a ghost figure. Also seen was a "Squash and Squeeze" Slimer deluxe...

TOY LEAKS HAVE BEGUN! From Silver Optimus at TFW2005, confirmation of Transformers One toys having an on-shelf (aka, street date) of August 1. This is right in time for the holiday resets (which means we'll see a couple weeks of people fussing because retailers work on their own schedules). In...

Best Buy is running a 3 Day Sale, one of the specials is 30% off most in stock Hasbro collectibles. Includes Transformers, GI Joe and Marvel, at least. For Transformers, they carry the following: Titans Black Zarak and Cybertron Metroplex Deluxe WFC Barricade, Animated Prowl, Selects Magnificus...

That was Steven Spielberg’s fault. Michael Bay was recommended by film producer Steven Spielberg PERSONALLY. Spielberg even went out of his way to convince Bay to take on Transformers.

Even then, he saw the sinking ship and helped right things with Bumblebee. I’d also argue with the “long term franchise damage” since we’re still in a better spot than pre-movie…but that’s another discussion.
