The “confirmed, but not” Galvatron redeco should be interesting. Hasbro and Takara deviated a bit more noticeably on that front, so it will be interesting to see which compromises and priorities they make. The original figures also had a more varied deco, so it will also be interesting to see...

Looking closer, you’re right. I didn’t look close enough and with the lighting he sure looked a bit like an off-model Cheetor. Oh well. My other statements remain :p

This. I’ve seen collectors suck the fun out of SO MANY toy lines, focusing on excessive articulation and details that are, ultimately, detrimental to other aspects of the product. I’m THRILLED that Transformers is still in a position where the collector line is still allowed to be FUN, even if...

I see a Cheetor peaking out above Energon Megatron in the art! A solid set of reveals, all told. And the rumored items list is indicating some more good stuff on the way. I dig the angle on the Armorizors. There are some neat conceptual elements with the Rock Lords homage, but also playing...

After seeing the live action Devastator get produced the way it did? G1 Devastator is popular enough I don’t see Hasbro “gating” him behind a HasLab. Cybertron is a safe option, but there are deep cuts like Grandus or Grand Mal Megatron that might be options. Given the freedom crowdsourcing...

I still think Hasbro is leaving money on the table by not doing a “Epic Heroes” product line for Star Wars. If nothing else, the status of the “kids stuff” will be more interesting since Mission Fleet appears to be puttering out. I saw a LOT of recently released Mission Fleet stuff at Ollies...

Well, if Power Rangers is going on a significant hiatus (rumors are everything shelved until 2025), that's not going to be a big presentation. I WOULD be surprised if Hasbro shuttered even the basic kids toys, but shelving Lightning wouldn't be surprising. GI Joe really isn't much longer...

I do not believe HASBRO would be the ones to turn down a media initiative unless in the position where they didn’t have a secure release venue. But I firmly believe that, for collector centric Generations line, the toys ARE coming first, with tie in media a secondary concern. But the franchise...

There is a potential escalation in play: The voice actor union has joined the fray, especially in regards to AI replication of performers' likeness. If unaddressed, they might also be joining the broader entertainment strike...

I think it’s the dainty feet. Animated or not, a defining feature of many Bumblebee designs are his big boot look. This one definitely messes with that established “body profile”

New leak, this time, Legacy Animated Bumblebee. Just robot mode pics at the moment https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/09/17/transformers-legacy-animated-bumblebee-494625 The general design doesn’t look awful in a mini bot sort of way. But Hasbro’s attempt to retain the “stylization” of Animated...

In conjunction with the Target Geek Out event, THREE new Python Patrol figures were revealed and put for sale: Python Televiper with Trouble Bubble Python Officer (yes, both this and the prior Python release are labeled officers) Python Copperhead. First two are sold out on Pulse, but I managed...

Not sure if this should get bumped to the politics thread with the Hollywood actor/writer strikes, but United Auto Workers (UAW) just went on strike, having significant impact across the nation and is in response to ALL of the “Big Three” (Ford, General Motors, Stellantis (formerly Chrysler))...

Yes, just finished a little bit ago. I'm watching it now!

Tomorrow is a new Nintendo Direct! Reportedly the focus will be on the later holiday season and winter line ups. Per usual, these days, dormant franchise F-zero is talked about in the salt mines of rumors. The rumor mills are also churning overtime on reports that Nintendo showed the NGS...

Is Ashoka breaking new ground? Not really. Am I enjoying it? ABSOLUTELY. I’m still loving how “classically Star Wars” it is, after the mess ObiWan and the Sequel Trilogy did mangling that very idea. It’s just so refreshing to watch a series that uses the Force, but still leaves open for new...

I think some of your are VASTLY overrating the life expectancy from a 77 year old, overweight, man with a likely history of drugs and alcohol and a McDonalds addiction.

To be fair, the last time Fortress Maximus has been available was back in 2017 (assuming stock carried into from 2016). In the years since, we've gotten the retro Headmasters and people come and go. Some skipped due to finances and some weren't even collectors at the time. So I greatly...

Part of that is because we haven't exhausted all the content that was completed or in post-production when the strike started. We, consumers, aren't apt to really start feeling the impact until next fall, assuming the strike doesn't roll on even longer.

I’d give them a little time. Unless you ordered a case or set, BBTS is probably filling single figure preorders from the solid cases Hasbro ships out. Since Devcon seemed to be a popular choice in that assortment, BBTS might just be waiting on a shipment of Devcon cases before getting to yours.
