    Transformers Legacy toyline

    From the front page. Is this Legacy? Whatever it is, the mold is looking dead sexy in these colors.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I just want to say I appreciate this discussion a lot, because this side expense is precisely the sort of thing entitled fanboys will readily dismiss because "Hasbro's just being too cheap and lazy to give me the extra paint and huge figures and 3P level fiddlefuckery and like-it-was-in-the-80s...

    Kind of want to go over the pearlescent gray with a proper shiny silver. Was surprised at how flat it looked. Like plastic from which all the chrome had flaked off. Also, I'm not super fond of the Titans Return face sculpt, but this one is not better-looking than that. I do like the upper body...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Also makes sense for them to avoid outright denying the idea while not explicitly telling people "you don't have to buy our upcoming stuff". Idk. Based on what I've seen of Drag Strip and Wildrider and certainly Motormaster, I'm likely to get this whole team anew anyway. Especially if the...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Front page article notes that the saw blade spins, ratcheted. Doesn't open up like the original but separates from the crane. Great work on the article btw, glad these things are happening more and more. Hope these don't go away when in-person stuff returns.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I love the look of this Metroplex, but it's a other case of "let's just do the original again with ___". Except the original had knees, so here they gave it more size. The fact that the altmode is pretty much the same yoga pose with tacked-on thing cements it. Sure, wheel bucket excavators only...

    Sony's Spider-Man Universe

    Yeah, I don't mind the MCU Spidey movies. They do lean a bit more heavily on the MCU lore overall than I'd like, but in doing so they also end up acknowledging/responding to that larger narrative flow better than most of the other MCU movies, so that's a decent tradeoff. And honestly I've not...

    Thor: Love and Thunder

    This was honestly my first thought in the seconds after seeing that shot. I'm guessing the structure for this will have us start with Thor processing his Endgame stuff and enjoying life with the Guardians, looking to retire from superheroing -- then something will happen between Zeus or...

    That's fair, but not the life for me. Can certainly see the logic of wanting as much for the cash as possible, but I literally can't afford to use the amount as a starting point, heh. I was never going to pay $220 for one of these -- and certainly not now that there is a decent alternative that...

    Thanks! Got this loose secondhand iirc, but I am tempted to get a new one in the packaging (we did just get part of wave 1, and unexpectedly the beast assortment, recently). Legacy packaging is wild in a good way.

    New one with arms and lower legs repainted from Kingdom Cheetor (can swap the original parts back). If I were repainting from scratch I'd correct the shade of gray first thing.

    Switched some parts with a donor Cheetor (whose head went to Shadow Panther). The gray is still off (should be a little bluish, based on the original) but it's closer than it was overall so, not bad. This I'm a bit happier with: just some minor tweaks here and there to correct the window color...

    ..."apologist views". For a toyline. And I'M the one with "clouded judgment" who's unwilling to accept a point of view "contrary to my own." I'm not the one who renamed a toyline to invalidate its entire design sensibility (aside from certain designs I so magnanimously decide would fit my...

    Hasbro's really making use of their lightsaber toy expertise to keep making light-up versions of these roleplay blades. I'm glad that options like these are available without the pretentious Super Grown-up Collectible with Real Metal Parts Because Metal, at least.

    I'd believe literally any of that more if you hadn't spent all this time trying to make "Notbots" happen. This personal rejection of the line is fine, whatever, like what you like, but you can just admit these aren't for you and pass on them, without trying to beef up that position with the...
