Some deals this week:
Amazon has the new Grayskull/Snake Mountain combo playset down to only $55. A number of Chronicles figures and sets on sale, including the Amazon Exclusive 2 pack of Ram Man and Fisto, which is down to $29. Core Deluxe Skeletor is down to $10, He-Man to $7, making it a...
I ordered mine from Amazon when they got back down to retail SRP. I've yet to see wave 2 in stores at all, and unless it cycles back out in the inventory system for the holidays, might have to just order on. To my surprise, Entertainment Earth has actually been steady sold out of Wave 2...
I still love the reimagining done on Darklon. But I’m also not happy with the current Iron Grenadiers Hasbro offered. I don’t need a direct remake, but I don’t feel like the Euro officer look jives with what I”m looking for in a more “action centric” Iron Grenadier.
Now you just have to find the Xbox magazine disc to update your DOA3 copy ;)
IIRC, Tecmo added a minor update to DOA3 by playing the demo on a demo disc. I think it just changed up the intro and some cosmetics
Reminder:
This week is “fall deal days” by everyone. Walmart is starting on the 5th, Amazon and Target on the 6th with I presume others jumping in as well.
This recasting thing bugs me. Because it’s not like we haven’t been seeing this crap for longer than most of us have been alive. By the time I was born, we were on the third James Bond actor. By 1989, we’d had three different live action Batman actors (and at least as many vocal performers)...
I think that’s a big reason Leto’s Skeletor went over as well as it did. There is no deep, tragic, backstory. He’s got a frickin’ skull for a face, of course he’s going to be the bad guy! And he loves it! And he all but called He-Man an idiot for trying to dig for a depth that isn’t there...
I eagerly await all the click bait in 2028 bemoaning how “They ruined GI Joe by making it woke!”. Y’know, the franchise written by an Asian-American veteran with its ethnically and culturally diverse cast which includes a former gang member, a bayou tough guy, a former model, and a ninja with a...
I don’t see it that way.
Aside from the necessary narrative contrivance, I can get behind the idea that the Resistance believes the only counter to Optimus Prime would be his “equal” in Megatron. They might not be looking for a heroic Megatron, just A Megatron that can break Optimus’s hold on...
I’m indifferent to Snake Eyes and Flash, but Wild Bill and Chuckles both look pretty solid. If I come across them, I’m inclined to get Wild Bill and Chuckles, but none of them are going to drive me to hunt them down like Falcon.
I’m cautiously optimistic here. Cooper is well known, well liked, actor with known chops. And the fact Paramount is landing a major star in a feature role, I feel, is a good sign at the studio’s commitment to the film. And by throwing out the Transformers crossover, I think shows some decent...
I am completely satisfied with that Guzzle. The yellow doesn’t severely clash, and the added details help bring some consistency. Headsculpt is perfect.
Within the restrictions of being a remold? Hasbro done did good. I’m quite happy to put my money up for him.
Something that occurred to me is that, what if they’re playing with an “Injustice” type scenario? Optimus Prime (possibly under some subtle corruption he resisted in established continuities) takes a step farther than he did before SOONER, and destroys Megatron earlier than “normal”. Or kills...
Also! With GoBot Megatron confirmed-ish that means they are just a repaint away from CR/RID Artfire/Hot Shot.
And to be honest? I think I might want to wait for that…
As always, I’m a wait and see until final information is released. There’s stuff I like and stuff I’m indifferent on, par for course. Still cutting back, but I still have my weaknesses.
Megatron Rising The Narrative: While I can see where the fatigue is coming from in regards to collectors...
