Maybe THAT’s why Earthrise Prime is getting rerun later this year!

I mean, they DID give him a new head, but I get what you're saying. I blame Hasbro for that. They've elevated the standards of what a "retool/repaint" can be, that when we DO get stuff like Motormaster and Geocron, it feels disappointing. Even keeping the changes to a limit, changing the ax...

That's how Hasbro's going to get us.... Leader 2026 Soundblaster, includes Laserbeak, Howlback, and Enemy.

Spread your lies elsewhere! Besides, I got MY Rumble in Studio Series. Where he's PURPLE. :p Also, I'm trying to find some clarification (and don't have Instagram to pester the design team) on the Deluxe Optimus Prime... What is his accessory loadout? Marketing material only says one...

Hasbro got caught up in a little FIRRIB moment :p So, Soundwave comes with a cassette guy named Rumble who is in the toy colors of FRENZY. Even Mark Maher failed to catch that when he posted his comments lol. Could have saved all the headache by just throwing in comic colors Lazerbeak and...

OOOoooo YEAH! /machoman https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/06/13/transformers-legacy-voyager-animated-motormaster-revealed-513413

Yeah, I was trying to think of a color that might work and I think a dark purple for the base with metallic blue/teal would have popped. Something a bit Dark Energon, y'know?

The last Core Class wave for 2024, from Evan Brooks. Galvatron is expected and Geocron is a retool of Bouldercrash. https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/06/12/legacy-united-core-class-infernac-universe-geocron-energon-galvatron-revealed-513365 I always appreciate a differentiating head sculpt, so...

Mark posted stock images of Metalhawk. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8IeCdNuHMS/ I DO like the more muted yellow, but I like the brighter grey on the original. By and large, I appreciate the effort for a package refresh, but I don't see any need to get him. Good for those that missed him...

That's a pretty late run for the figure, too. The co-sells are from a mix of 92 and 93. Might have even been part of his last cycle in the assortment. And yeah, that Cyclops is "from the same line" (X-Factor Cyclops came from the intitial series in 1991, stripe Wolverine comes from series 2...

Your Walmart stocks toys?!

Spin-Out is probably a decent stand in.... https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spin-Out_(G1)#Generations_Selects I like this little set. I think because I've been doing this so long, these new character concepts are ticklin' my pickle a bit more than another retread of Gears or Warpath or even Cosmos.

He looks solid! There are obvious compromises to get the concept to the $25, but I think they largely succeed. I'm really impressed at the purported accessory load out: 2 blasters, a matrix, and an Energon ax. I'm surprised to see light piping return, but it's a nice gimmick for this kind of...

The nerdgasm if the film DOES gives us this full look for even ONE action sequence... https://www.toyark.com/2024/06/12/deadpool-and-wolverine-hot-toys-wolverine-figure-534446

YAY!!! My ramblings were deemed postable on teh internets! :p

To be fair, Slipstream might actually scale well with other main line stuff like Earthspark and TF One whose seekers DO run in the deluxe range :p I picked up TR Quake because, y'know, when is Hasbro ever going to do Quake again? I'll probably end up getting rid of TR Quake just because this...

It'll be a glass case and his kids will charge for viewings. Because the grift can never end.

And THAT's probably why Hasbro gave Playmates a license to make toys. Their big media plans fizzled and they're passing the franchise off for cheap license dollars until...they do something? It's not entirely unprecedented: Mattel kicked Masters of the Universe to Super7 for about 4 years until...

Newest Retro wave is up! Get Cobra Commander before he sells out! I got my order in for a Retro CC and 88 Storm Shadow.
