Just like the media production studios and the mobile gaming studios….

Actually, it’s one of several 3rd Party sellers. Amazon’s own price is $56. That’s the case with a LOT of the cheap Leaders (Apelinq for $25!), they are 3rd party sellers…if that makes a difference. But they DO have a coupon to get Overcharge for $29 and Animated Wreck Gar to $28. Another...

That's part of the reason I hope they DON'T revive Magneto going forward. Combined with the original series, they've written the best possible arc you could do with Magneto. Even with his gruesome death, it fit his character and moves everyone around him forward, narratively. There isn't much...

That's what a lot of anime looked like the late 80s :p The exaggerated expressions were common in anime and manga, in general. Watch a couple episodes of this new Ghost in the Shell, then dig up Bubblegum Crisis or Dominion Tank Police (itself based on a Masamune Shirow manga) and you can...

I mean, at minimum, we'll be going from "slightly bigger, bulkier, deluxe" to the equivalent size of a Beast Era Ultra. That's an improvement!

Eh, who knows anymore. Either way, Kenner got Batman in 1990 and leveraged the man and his wonderful toys into a goldmine and a relationship that would last the rest of the decade.

I fear the state I might find my Beast Wars Grimlock

We're actually starting to see that crop up, in some segments. The problem is the contrarian actions of many retailers, particularly, Walmart. Modern "waves" were pushed by retailers as an incentive to keep customers coming back. But with changing consumer habits...I'm not sure that is...

More context about Sony's decision to cut physical media in 2028. Circana (formaly the NPD group) posted some hard data, showing a decline in physical game sales going back a decade. Again, it reminds me of the PC market circa 2010 once broadband started to pick up and Steam became the defacto...

This whole video game push might have been easier if they hadn't dumped all their gaming assets (which included some of the most nostalgic and lucrative franchises in gaming, btw) 25 years ago...just sayin'...

Actually, Kenner had only had Batman for a year prior to Robin Hood. Toy Biz actually snapped up a DC license for 1989, and did a completely serviceable product line in 1989. I think Kenner ended up poaching the Batman license from Toy Biz by managing to convince WB that the brand was more...

A preview for the Crimson SNAKE armor, to be fully revealed this week at SDCC. Probably a Pulse Exclusive like most of these higher price point items have been. https://toynewsi.com/278-64978

On the eve of SDCC, it has been announced that Amazon/MGM has put in a series order of 8 episodes for a new Robocop TV series to air on Amazon Prime. It's being produced by Blumhouse Atomic Monster with Peter Ocko (Lodge 49) attached as showrunner. Executive producers include James Wan, Ed...

Masters of the Universe will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime on July 22 The new one, old one’s already there.

He’ll be slightly bigger, more articulated, and more “show nods” that the toy can’t replicate. Dare I hope for finger blasters?

I’ve read/heard that Target is doing a reset this week, probably on Tuesday. But like with any major retailer, there are store employees just chucking crap to the shelves before they’re supposed to. I might pencil in a trip to Target to try and get the Ninja Force ReAction figures on Tuesday…...

FYI, Amazon might be trying to ease up on their inventory of MASK, The Condor can be had for $28 (it WAS as low as $25), but the Rhino is now down to $86. And this IS from Amazon, not a 3rd party.

Playmates is launching a Kickstarter on August 18 for the Re-Ignition Dragonzord toy. Reportedly unable to find a retail partner to help carry it, Playmates is going directly to the fans https://toynewsi.com/216-64910 Meanwhile, it seems like they WERE able to get retail support to launch the...

And just add a bit of garnish to Sony’s crap sundae (depending on your view, I guess): The hyped God of War TV series has suffered a massive setback- Star Ryan Hurst tore his bicep muscle during filming. This is a severe injury that typically takes 4-6 months to heal, and up to a year to return...
