But they STILL forgot his red crest though...

That's a Rad Cat right there...

LOL Amazon ganked the early listings they had up for Rise of the Beasts toys. Good thing I jumped on it when I did. Not that it probably means much given I paid a couple extra bucks on something that will be sitting at retail for months.

These Beast Alliance Toys are FULL of ports!

So, hey. Those Amazon listings were accurate, I got Weaponizer Primal today. So if Amazon says "in stock" it really is, meaning if you can't wait a couple of weeks, Amazon will sell you some movie toys early.

Is it strange I’m hoping that Mattel might make BraveStarr and TexHex in the Origins line? BraveStarr always did feel a bit like a cousin line to He-Man (maybe Rio Blast was a design refugee from that line?), be neat to see that crossover. But I’m also the kind of weirdo that’s like “throw in...

I’m still over here waiting for that good look at Core Voyager Optimus Primal…

To be fair, in fiction, there are a LOT of famous star ships. But I think it might have come down to the fact the Voyager events weren’t as “exciting” as one of the most famous ships of the Dominion War. Correlating to the real world, in the 50s and 60s, there were a number of interesting...

I’m still surprised Mattel opted to tool up those new torsos. I figured they’d end up deluxe by pure parts count, but the WWE Macho Man and Roddy Piper showed they had tooling to “replicate” the Battle Armor gimmick with standard bucks.

But this one WAS all metal. The handles were tiny metal rods connected by a mini metal chain. Rods were just a HAIR too small for the figure, but it was good enough for 5 year old Steevy.

Not sure where this belongs, but… Apparently there is a big budget Knights of the Zodiac/Saint Seiya adaption coming out soon! How soon? Early May! Trailer actually just got posted. Sean Bean and Famke Jansen headline this why-is-this-not-getting-dumped-to-streaming project. $60 million...

I’m 95% sure than the 3 packs are just a store exclusive bundling of figures we’ll be able to get individually. That’s WAY too much new for a retailer exclusive. But depending on price, those multipacks might end up marginally cheaper to get. And since it appears nobody has mentioned them...

So…searching for “Transformers MV7” nets you a couple of listings for movie toys: Weaponizers 2 packs of Prime and Primal, plus the Primal Combiner 2 pack. Battle Changer Prime and Combiner Bumblebee are dated for April 10. Plus Core Deluxe listings for Cheetor and Bumblebee…from the UK...

I do applaud Disney for not mandating a “set runtime”. This was one of the shortest episodes ever for the series, but it still felt like it did what it needed to do without excessive meandering. Something else I didn’t mention a few weeks back, is that I LOVE how the production team is...

I had an older neighbor boy give me some sort of micro, possibly handmade, metal nunchakus for my Mikey. Never messed with the actual toy versions since that one had real metal links so it “moved” like the cartoon/movies.

Yeah, I don't get the omission of 3d Blast and the Genesis versions of other games at this stage. Unless they're going to try and milk fans on a third release. I don't think you sound greedy at all, ZakuConvoy. Sega has released compilations of MORE of these games at a LESSER price in years...

Anyone remember when MySpace was the big social media darling?

Complete list with promo images of today's reveals. For a "dying line" they actually have a hefty amount of stuff on tap. https://www.toyark.com/2023/03/20/masters-of-the-universe-fall-2023-catalog-496867 Also, Wave 13 (2002 Randor, Snake Teela, Snake Trooper, Slamurai) has seen "limited...

Somewhat back to just talking about MOTU at the moment…in my current “fuss” over MOTU, I snagged the Minicomics Collection and the Toy Pictorial books from Amazon. Generally really well done, and the minicomics are always interesting because of how the brand evolved in its early years. But I...
