I’ve been watching those BST AXN Best of sets for a sale. I think they are just a great little combo set, and I’m eager to see a few more with April or Casey. The TMNTxMOTU figures are just so nifty. I really love how it’s mostly the heroic Masters getting all mutant up here. I ADORE Man at...

Jazwares makes “Micro Galaxy Squadron”, not Action Fleet :p Mission Fleet is the pseudo cartoonish (like, less exaggerated versions of the old Galactic Heroes Preschool line) 2.5” figure line Hasbro threw out to replace the DOA cartoon styled Galaxy of Adventures 5” figures. I think Mission...

Jazwares is doing some damn fine stuff in their Action Fleet revival, Micro Galaxy Squadron. It’s not without its own quibbles (screw you chase figures!), but they HAVE been hitting some deeper cuts than Hasbro or Mattel have been willing to make the past few years. Here’s Series V, featuring...

Launched in 2020, Mission Fleet puttered along the next couple of years. Aside from the Republic Shuttle, there hadn’t been any new releases since last spring. AFAIK, the Airspeeder never hit retail, and the Inquisitor Shuttle is MIA since revealed LAST YEAR. And that’s on TOP of a huge dump...

Well, after seeing the line fizzle out this last year, Star Wars Mission Fleet is out. But 4" Epic Heroes are IN! Due after Christmas (January 2024) https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2023/11/09/star-wars-4-epic-hero-series-revealed/ Bad news first: Figures are 5 POA. I have to say I'm a bit...

I found out something interesting, as I prepare to commit to a PS5 (what can I say, they got good franchises and games): While you can no longer view them, Sony still has the record of any purchases you made for PS One and PSP titles you made in the past. Should said title be made available...

Best Buy has started to restock toys for the holiday season, and one of the items offered during the current Black Friday specials is Selects Black Zarak, marked down to $107 (from $177 normal). They are also stocking Generations Magnificus, Legacy TM2 Megatron, Lio Prime, Animated Prowl and...

On that note, I was going to mention that last year, Walmart was rather aggressive in clearing out those sales specials. The DC Superheroes pack started at $20 and plummeted to $5 within a week and a half. About the only sets I might consider at full price are Knockout/WildRider and...

Might as well post it here as well, but Walmart’s Black Friday special this year will be “2 for 1” bundles of overstock Deluxe figures. All hail from early to mid 2022 across Legacy and Studio Series. I’d also caution on online ordering…despite the images, it wouldn’t surprise me if there are...

Tired of old Wave 1 Legacy figures still lagging at retail? Too bad, because one of Walmart’s big specials for the holiday season appears to be a “2 for 1” deal where you can get a bundle of two Deluxe figures for the price of 1. From the images found by JtPrime (and others), it appears the...

So…Walmart has some overstock for their Black Friday special, it appears. It appears to be “2 for 1” Deluxe figure bundles, with two Deluxe figures for $25. From the images posted by JtPrime, it appears to be mixes from waves 13 and 15-17 (no figures from wave 14, from the available images)...

The original listings we had were for a Starscream/Bumblebee two pack (which we saw the original version of) and a Soundwave/Optimus Prime two pack, of which we’ve only seen Prime as of yet. My inclination remains that, aside from some packaging changes, Hasbro’s release plan for the figures...

Another element is how little turnaround the sequel films had. Even with the prequels, you had a good 3 years between each film to allow each film to "breathe", to take a step back and reflect. I firmly believe that Revenge of the Sith ended up as good as it did because they had the time to...

Ractivate Optimus Prime’s toy has leaked, with full in hand photos. Looks like they reused a a LOT of Siege design work, but it still works VERY well. I like a lot of the elements here, it’s a nice mix of G1, Authentics with a splash of the current movie styling. He’s also surprisingly beefy...

Eh, I just think that’s a little on the nose. Even with the standards of this franchise

Hasbro’s been a little looser when it comes to size vs complexity. Remember we got a Deluxe sized Hot Rod in the Voyager price point due to complexity and accessories. Given Big Convoy’s bulk, Hasbro could well go back to the “smaller leader with extra junk” angle we saw with Coronation...

Yeah. I’d have much rather seen them put the time and energies into a better design than put in accessories just for the sake of emulating a visual gimmick the game employed. Actual images do NOTHING to improve my opinion of the sub Line. Starscream has the same “flat appendage” issue...

I’ve always been open to both styles. Each has their own “identity angle” when it comes to Mario. But I REALLY lost love for the New Super Mario games. The newest iteration actively frustrated me on controls. NSMB just feels so…floaty. Jumping felt off, and I never seemed to have full...

But when will Big Lob finally make his move?!

I work with new nurses young enough to be MY DAUGHTER. THAT will mess with your head a bit. In regards to Magmatron: On the whole, I think the new figure provides enough to be a justifiable improvement over the original. I think my biggest issue is the same one I had with Silverbolt: In...
