This reminds me, is there any stated connection between Shockwave and Amalgamous? Given their heads share similar design cues, I'm curious if that's intentional, or they were just going with a more alien and robotic design for Amalgamous and the similarity to Shockwave is just happenstance?

Since my Victory figures include Kabaya Deathsaurus and Road Ceasar, the KO Liokaiser with the Doubledealer-Hellbat arm, and a KO of Robotmasters Victory Saber, Dinoking is decently-sized. Now, if I figure in the Destron Liokaiser set and Haslab Liokaiser when I get him, then, yeah, Dinoking is...

While I recognize that there are a lot of deep cuts that we probably wouldn't get at Core/Legends scale, the proliferation of 3rd party lines in Legends and even Micromaster scale would indicate that there is demand for smaller Transformers figures. Now, we could argue about how Hasbro handled...

I mean, the price point died, sure, but I would pay Voyager or Leader class prices for sets of 2 or 3 core-scale dudes that go together, like the Seekers. Or battle packs. Core-scale battle packs would rock, too.

If SS wanted to redo the Seekers, they could bring back the Core scale and do a set of Coneheads, Rainmakers, Sunstorm, etc at that size...

That's brilliant! I always refer to it as "Thermonuclear Death Breath" because of the TNT Monstervision Godzillabash ad...

Looking at these makes me realize how many more decos we need on Deluxe G1 Prime...

If ever you have call to go the Akron General Hospital in Akron, Ohio (hopefully nothing serious), and have some time to kill, take a trip down to the cafeteria on the ground level. Compared to the modern upper levels, the halls on the ground floor have a very backrooms feel, with greenish...

RiD01 Ultra Magnus is roughly the right shape, isn't it? At the very least, he might be a similar type of truck? An actual Dekotora transformer with faux lights (not sure I'd wanna pay the upcharge for working lights and sounds) and wild paint would be brilliant, though!

Yeah, 98 Godzilla is canonically a mutated iguana. Like CoffeeHorse said, it's a valid kaiju story, but it definitely did not go the typical Godzilla routes.

Yeah, "Godzilla's Revenge" is not for the weak. It's like Home Alone, but with kaiju mascots giving the "Kevin" character ideas. And, yeah, the Japanese version is better, but the dub gives us "Don Knotts Minilla" and lines like "Godzilla's the one with the bad breath!"...

Yeah. "Mothra" and "Godzilla vs Mothra" '64 explore some themes of commercial exploitation, "Godzilla vs Hedorah" has a heavy anti-pollution message, and "Godzilla's Revenge" is a treatise on the plight of latchkey children in an increasingly modernizing Japan, but none of these handle the...

I haven't got mine yet, but I've got Prototype Arcee in my Pile Of Loot at BBTS. Would rather have the colors of Cartoon Arcee, but I feel like the head design of the Prototype is more accurate to what would have come out in 86-87, and she'll fit better with my vintage movie-era bots.

I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter...

There's the Not-Optimus from this panel, for instance...

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/350805 Has anyone pulled the trigger on these Brickyrobo things? They're supposedly like Missing Link for Machine Robo/Gobots. Which would be right up my alley, but the price tag is OUCH! So I was wondering what they feel like in-hand and...

"There are two things you don't know about the earth: one is me, and the other is...Godzilla!"

Happy New Year!

In Godzilla movies, the military runs from Godzilla. In G'98, the monster runs from the military. Just ain't right... Also, the French slagging on America is a bit grating...

King Kong '33 may not be 'art house', but it is certainly genre-defining. It at least deserves a spot along with Godzilla '54 and Minus One as an iconic film. Godzilla '98 (Ferris Zilla's Day Off, Jurassic Central Park, GINO/Godzilla In Name Only, ), I've said this before, but it seems like it...
