Looks like a multi visual array sensor, like what’s used on drones. Which makes a degree of sense given the missile armament and the limited field of vision from the cockpit. This iteration of the Triple T feels like a more “pragmatic” mini-scout and having a AV sensor array makes a decently...

Whatever illicit substances the kids team is on while making these new CyberWorlds toys need to indulge when making new PrimeChangers. I think that started as a new "WildWheel", but named Lockdown for marketing purposes.

But...which video games? Movies and Music, as physical delivery platforms, are largely standardized. A DVD can play on anything with a DVD drive (or newer). Any vinyl player can read new records or any optic disc reader can read a CD. Console games don't work like. Neither do PC games...

YMMV, but having to "go to Amazon" isn't entirely indicative of a healthy market for physical media :p. And at my Walmart, you got one end cap (the smaller electronics department kind) of new/recent releases, about half an aisle of legacy boxsets and "slightly less new" movies. Target has even...

Sentiment doesn't make money. They're making some overtures at the moment to play off a competitor's missteps...but money and costs are the final determining factor. Fewer and fewer devices outside of consoles and dedicated disk readers use disc drives at all, likely raising prices. Like I...

That or maybe Nintendo is putting some pressure on the licensees to step up their game. You basically have Jazwares (Pokemon), Jakks Pacific (Mario), Mattel (Mario Kart/die cast) and now Hasbro (Zelda) all with slices of Nintendo's IP. That could create an environment where if one falters...

Interesting to see Nintendo further split up its franchise rights. We'll have to see if this is just for the new movie, or a franchise get. Guess that means the Zelda figures Jakks is doing will get cycled out this fall.

I get what you‘re laying down there. And I’m pretty much on board with that assessment. I feel there is a touch more nuance to those points though: I think it wasn’t just that customers in Europe (not even the entire market, just select European markets, mind you) were going to lose the Studio...

It is seemingly official, Danny McBride will be writing AND directing the next GI Joe film for Paramount. Going by prior comments, he has indicated a hope that shooting to begin next year with a 2028 release date...

To be fair, the original series had its share of clunkers, probably more than people tend to remember. In fairness, even a "mediocre" episode is going to come off worst than it is, simply because the average for X-Men 97 has just been THAT good. I enjoyed it, even if it DID skew a bit...

Matt Reeves dropped a "Camera Test" teaser for The Batman Part 2. Not much, but shows the film is still moving forward. And it also looks like, to me, they tweaked the bat "ears" on the cowl, they look a bit thicker with better definition. It also reveals the new release date of February 18, 2028

Supposedly, still "summer 2026", which could mean any time between now and the middle of September.

Hmmm….I think we found LG’s secret fetish here… :p Some new details have come out about future Core Figure releases. Following a listing for “GID Trap Jaw”, many of those “GID” figures in Walmart’s system are now saying “Battle for Subternia”, indicating a 2027 refresh for the back end of the...

It's easy if you just pay attention!

Something I was told WAY back in the day from the purported "insiders" of the newsculpt era (which has largely borne out over the years) was that the Joe team was largely taking a "Superheroes without super powers" angle with GI Joe. That's why, if you look at the 2002-2006 figures, the design...

MVG said it couldn't be done. The homebrew community said "hold my beer" Behold, Doom on the Neo Geo AES

Or Mattel knows they can get weak willed collectors like me to double dip on a Batman with a classic oval ;) The mass release Batman vs Clayface set is slipping out into the wild. Here’s a look at the figures, in hand. A notable element here is that this Batman is sporting (I think) our first...

Damn you, karma! https://www.nbcnews.com/news/obituaries/sam-neill-actor-jurassic-park-dies-new-zealand-rcna587240

Iconic New Zealand actor, Sam Neill, has passed away. Details are still forthcoming as to the cause of death, but we reportedly passed in the presence of family. He garnered international fame portraying Dr. Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park/World film franchise. He was 78...

See, I’ve been following this kind of collector junk too close for FAR too many years. And…I DO disagree at the “it’s not a $50 toy” assertion. I can see where the budget is going, the sculpting and design improvements, the retro and reusable packaging, the more niche nature of this product...
