In the show, yeah. But I’ve put some errant thought into this idea: BM Jetstorm‘s show robot mode and Transtech Starscream share a good bit of broad structural similarities, especially in the upper torso. Why not tool a show/toy hybrid Jetstorm with alternate tooling for Transtech Starscream...

The dangers of digital “ownership” are cropping back up for Playstation owners in Europe and UK- Due to a lapsed licensing agreement, Sony will be forcibly removing 551 film titles from StudioCanal from their online storefront AND users’ libraries. Refunds, you might ask? Of course not...

I actually read both events as novels! Knightfall was written by Dennis O’Neal himself, and I think worked well as an adaption. It omits Prodigal (where Dick Grayson becomes Batman the first time), but I that works to end the story on a ”cleaner note”. It also minimizes or clears out a LOT of...

Gym Bro Skeletor is real, and he is GLORIOUS https://toyhabits.com/gym-bro-skeletor-motu-chronicles-sdcc-2026-exclusive-revealed/ But I still want “middle management” Skeletor, that was just funnier to me than a Gym bro

I’ve seen reports that the current AI-derived memory shortages lasting anywhere from the next 2-5 YEARS. Some newer CPU technology is now putting strain on CPU stocks, raising prices. Due to broader geo-political issues (like a bullshit conflict involving a vital trade route in the Middle...

None of those options sound financially or practically viable: A “dual screen Switch 2” makes ZERO sense. None of the games are really designed for it, it has questionable viability with the Switch’s primary feature (the pick up and play between docked and handheld), and would cost as much or...

OOF

You don’t know what Randor was into before he settled down!

Might have to move the ActionVerse discussion to the Marvel Toy Thread, because I have more thoughts on things. But I think Mattel DOES have a solid hit on their hands, but we’ll see if this is “FOMO” with some collector bleed or if the line is really connecting. Right now, like the Core...

I never said I didn’t understand why Mattel did what they did. I just remarked that it was a bit surprising that Mattel bucked years of precedent by NOT doing a stand alone Batman segment for kids. I think it’s premature to talk of the character selection of the collector segment. As a...

Well, none of us have ever claimed that the broader collecting community was smart or capable of self reflection :p I’m also a Bat-fan, but I never followed McFarlane that hard because…I just didn’t really care for a majority of his work. At the $25-30 collector range, I never found his product...

They’re making so much Batman animation, might have to just commandeer this thread as the “Batman animation thread”! WB has announced 3 new DC series: A new one for Krypto aimed at younger audiences. Joker Laugh Riot, DC’s “first” anime series featuring Joker re-evaluating himself while looking...

Then again, Spider-Gwen is LITERALLY the only female character in the entire range (at this point). :p. Even under Epic Heroes, female character were severely underrepresented (except for X-Men, which, like most Epic Hero and ActionVerse lines, got ONE WHOLE WAVE). I do get the frustration...

I thought listings confirmed they’d be cycled in the standard deluxe assortment, like Hasbro was doing with the G2 Stunticons

But then it will be time for the animated film’s 45th Anniversary!

Remember that Night Force= Walmart exclusive

Sundown (still sad they didn’t work in some COPS nods…) and Synapse are both completely new characters for the brand.

I’m unwilling to pay more than $100 for a 6” action figure unless it comes with a vehicle. Except for the Mezco One:12 89 Batman. And I regret NOTHING I’ve yet to get an ActionVerse figure for any comparison, but I was a proponent early on at other sites because I could easily tell that...

Still haven’t seen a Core Skeletor at retail, but my Target run did yield one of the new DC Premiere Batman figures from Mattel (See the DC Toys thread for my thoughts). But I did see a single card Man At Arms at Target, so that assortment is starting to get out there. Didn’t look too hard to...

With lackluster retail offerings for my birthday, I ended up going to Target and found the first wave of DC Core on pegs. Not sure how much I’ll be “into” this line, but I’m always game to sample things when we have a major license or design shift like this. Obviously, I got Batman (gonna need...
