But what if it’s a Leader priced multipack like WFC Kingdom’s “Leader”? That would completely open up the field!

I think the fundamental issue with Lightyear was that it was too smart, tried to be too clever and too character-centric for what it needed to be, and what it WOULD have been if released back in 1995. Most of the issues I see in Lightyear are issues films (and especially, adaptions) have had a...

If I was doing the RiD Car Bros, I’d probably leave Sideburn his first version (second is too much like Hot Rod), while the other two’s Super iterations offer more distinct visual looks compared to other characters.

Me too! Maybe because I was the one who made one….a LONG time ago…before the old board got nuked. :p I want to say Target’s had this up for a couple of years at this point. I want to say I noticed this before I even got my SS86 Grimlock

Also, I need to start digging through the Switch releases more often. When the hell did Layer Section and Guardian Force get ported!?

I mean…they DO have a Lamborghini police mold. And Brawn isn’t EXCEPTIONALLY far off from Skids’ alt mode…

Nintendo’s running a big sale. One of the offerings is Starlink (Digital Deluxe) for just $20. Other notables include: the various Sega Ages offerings at under $5. Doom Slayers Collection for $20 (includes Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3, Doom 64 and Doom 2016). Doom 93 alone is $2 Entries in Resident...

Depends on if those are painted deco or stickers. Hot Rod is on the “short list” of characters I’m an easy mark for (like VW Bumblebees, or Grimlocks, or Starscreams). That said, while I think it looks okay, I really wish they had been a little more creative with their options. Then again...

Probably trying to get some of that Animal Crossing/Life-Sim money. They probably want to focus their energies on GOOD games to remaster :p It’s strange to me to see so many things i bought for the Vita end up getting remastered or remade between the current crop of consoles. About the...

It’s worth noting that Xbox has confirmed Goldeneye will also come to Xbox GamePass, so I’m sure there was some mutual license thing going between the two.

New Direct today! A Shocking amount of content, though it seems February is now "Switch kills your wallet" month with the large number of games that seem set to launch that month. There was so much, I'm not sure I can go through it all. Lots of Square remakes and ports on the horizon...

SYNERGY!

It kind of feels like the bad rap Switch ports have gotten over the years, especially of more modern titles. No, they aren't perfect conversions, and compromises are obvious...but you have to give props to having Doom 2016, Eternal and Witcher 3 playable on a mobile SoC from 2013

It’s not common anymore. Back circa 2004-ish, it wasn’t uncommon to find standard retail overstock (and I’m not counting the Universe repacks of Energon and Cybertron) find their way to Dollar General. This was before Hasbro and Mattel started to develop product explicitly FOR that sort of...

So, anyone still buying Spin Master's solid little "kids toys"? While looking up the Black Adam toy line (see the movie thread for those details), found some interesting stuff about the other lines. First off, The Batman is done, so a lot of retailers are starting to clear them out in favor of...

Spin Masters actually has a modest little product line for this movie! About on par with The Batman, it's still a better showing than most of Hasbro's recent MCU stuff or how they've been handling Star Wars the last few years. The central focus is a 4" line akin to what they've been doing for...

I think the last time we had a major “action figure event”, the surprise sell outs and insane demand from parents and kids, was probably Transformers 2007. Maybe Avengers in 2012. The Force Awakens had a lot of hype (and HUGE buy in), but actual results kind of fizzled out pretty damn quick...

You like Marvel? You like classic Universal Monsters? They just dropped their "Halloween Special" trailer, which is based on Werewolf by Night. I'm sure there are a bunch of supernatural Marvel characters getting cameos in here I don't recognize : Oh hey! It's Man-Thing!

I was so thrilled when I saw that some recent games like the Uncharted Collection had a “Story Mode” or “Narrative Mode” with reduced difficulty so people (like me) who are in it for the story can do so without being bogged down by sucking at the gameplay.

Yeah, as an adult with an income and easy Internet access, collecting is the easiest it has EVER been for me. But if I were a kid? We are all here because these brands spoke to us. Maybe it was the exaggerated designs of MOTU and TMNT. Maybe it was the stories of GI Joe or Batman. Maybe the...
