Eh, I just think that’s a little on the nose. Even with the standards of this franchise

Hasbro’s been a little looser when it comes to size vs complexity. Remember we got a Deluxe sized Hot Rod in the Voyager price point due to complexity and accessories. Given Big Convoy’s bulk, Hasbro could well go back to the “smaller leader with extra junk” angle we saw with Coronation...

Yeah. I’d have much rather seen them put the time and energies into a better design than put in accessories just for the sake of emulating a visual gimmick the game employed. Actual images do NOTHING to improve my opinion of the sub Line. Starscream has the same “flat appendage” issue...

I’ve always been open to both styles. Each has their own “identity angle” when it comes to Mario. But I REALLY lost love for the New Super Mario games. The newest iteration actively frustrated me on controls. NSMB just feels so…floaty. Jumping felt off, and I never seemed to have full...

But when will Big Lob finally make his move?!

I work with new nurses young enough to be MY DAUGHTER. THAT will mess with your head a bit. In regards to Magmatron: On the whole, I think the new figure provides enough to be a justifiable improvement over the original. I think my biggest issue is the same one I had with Silverbolt: In...

I can’t help feeling like if Gamer Edition toys aren’t seeing the same issue as the Legacy Targetmasters: The base figures suffer for the sake of the included accessories. In the Targetmasters’ case, the compromise feels justified with the end of the Battlemaster assortment. Those transforming...

I was all set to play Mario Wonder…except FedEx apparently has wonky routes. Seriously, from where my Best Buy shipment started, it actually went STRAIGHT PASS ME to a distribution center FARTHER FROM ME THAN FROM WHERE IT STARTED. I won’t be getting the game until later today (Saturday) and...

But…NEW MARIO GAME!

Hasbro had an official statement through their PR channels: Sounds like Hasbro didn't update something or TRU Canada was too early in posting details and didn't have an updated image reflected the new game branding. I don't hate what I see. I really like Bumblebee, as ZacWiliam said, the...

World of Warcraft is compatible with Apple Silicon, it was actually one of the first games to get a native version.

Even Takara can see Hasbro excessively cheapening out on the kids lines! Seriously, of all the major toy makers in the action figure space, it has really gotten to the point that Hasbro seems to have kind of forgot what it means to make a “toy”. I’m not sure any other major action figure...

It's official! While there are still appeals in process (due to be addressed in December), barring a major change, Microsoft now owns Activision Blizzard. https://www.ign.com/articles/the-microsoft-activision-blizzard-deal-a-complete-timeline-of-events Activision CEO Bobby Kotick will remain...

I also feel that the sheer VOLUME of product between all the brand segments is an issue. When you’re making something like, 12-16 Legacy Deluxe releases, 6 or so “Kid deluxe” figures, another half dozen “movie deluxe” figures, and 8-12 Studio Series deluxe figures…PLUS exclusives for Amazon...

A little late, but in about 20 minutes, History Channel's "The Toys That Built America" is launching its newest season. In addition to a Nintendo episode, the premiere will feature the introduction and competition between Transformers and GoBots. The episode will cycle onto the assorted...

Relevant to this thread, I think. Netflix ends their direct to consumer deliveries this month. After sporadic reports a while back about Target eliminating their home video and book sections (reportedly "select stores" at the moment), Best Buy has announced, after this holiday season, they...

It’s a money play. Why print stuff like that in house when you can get PAID by someone to handle the work for you. Dynamite gets access to major IPs that might do well for the smaller company, and WB has legacy IPs get some exposure they probably wouldn’t be getting otherwise. Even Marvel...

Commander Class 2026!

I’ve been mulling Silverbolt over in my head, and it’s, like, I can SEE where the improvements are. The increased toon accuracy, resulting in a larger figure (relative to the deluxe scale Blackarachnia), the extra deco on the non functioning projectiles, the increased wing articulation (due to...
