Dude, I played SO MUCH of Raiden 2 with my co-workers at the old Pizza Hut we worked at in 2002, while we had it. I’m frustrated that Hamster never got Raiden II in the Arcade Archive series, but I guess this will suffice.

Yeah, I don’t think the yellow pouch belt looks too bad there, especially with the brighter grey tone used by the 3 pack. Might even work on the first DC Core to compliment the brighter blue tone on that figure. Gosh dang it! Why you’d sell me on an extra figure just for the belt and...

Yeah, hard to get worked up over probable AI images from a leaked retailer presentation. That said, with a new Indy-racer Mirage of some sort on deck, and the confirmed appearance of GoBots Megatron, I can’t help but wonder if the team has spychangers percolating. After they get Machine Wars...

He certainly wouldn’t be the first!

Have you tried swapping the belts on JokerBats and the pseudo Hush version? I’m wondering how the yellow tone would play on that version.

At least Megatron will have different alt modes

Title says it all. EA, now owned by a Saudi/Kushner hedge fund, has begun the process of shuttering the remnants of celebrated developer, Bioware. This is a developing story at the moment. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-shuts-down-dragon-age-mass-effect-studio-bioware/

Which, again, wasn't overly new in mass retail products. I'd point to the mid-90s Kenner Batman spin off lines, which leaned into using comic designs and concepts, which, ostensively, appealed more to older consumers. I'd argue (as I'm prone to) that broader market forces were just as big a...

Yeah, well, SO WILL I!

I don’t really buy into ALL of that. I really don’t buy into the idea that Machine Wars was “fan geared” aside from reusing names, aesthetics and iconography that Beast Wars had reimagined. And I also don’t really buy into Machine Wars being THAT instrumental into how the brand would be...

At this stage? I’m just assuming that, unless it’s from Nintendo, it’s probably a key card.

I liked Machine Wars well enough, though by that time, we'd lost our nearby KB Toys, so I didn't get any of the molds until Universe 2003 (which is kind of ironic, in a sense). It wasn't as garish as G2, and the usage of familiar names help "sell me" on the new bodies. I mean, if you hadn't...

Not pointing you out, in particular, Undead Scotsman, but I'm seeing a LOT this since the Machine Wars discussion started: The idea of Machines Wars being, in any significant way, "geared to collectors" (at least as we perceive modern collector lines post-Generations, maybe Classics if generous)...

Super7 Reaction+ wave 10 is now available, featuring Sunbow Flint, shoreman’s jacket Shipwreck, Arctic Baroness and a SNAKE Armor.

MyArcade’s newest retro gaming handheld is on the cusp of release at the end of the month, after being initially revealed all the way back at CES 2025. Called the Gamestation Retro, this series of releases (handheld, console, and minicade) echo their Atari range from a couple years ago...

Probably a combination of it being KayBee, the generally slower release cadence of NES games, and popularity of the game itself. Super Mario 2 I don’t think EVER saw a price cut until after the system was on its wind down phase a few years later. As a popular 3rd party title, there might not...

Got my Switch version from Best Buy this week, but things came up and I haven’t gotten a chance to play.

I'm so irritated you posted that. That is REALLY tempting as an upgrade to the TAS version I got with the Proton Cannon.

I'm just sad that Premier/Core reveals are likely being ignored because "it's not collector stuff". Again, the relative amount details and features Mattel is bringing to their MOTU and DC "entry range" has been DAMNED impressive this year. But yeah, they'll probably get me on the Fraction...
