It's that weird chin he's got. To me, it always evoked that Derek Yanniger G2-style. Which is why I opted for the G2 deco. If Hasbro can get this out here at a $120-ish price point, it's not a BAD value. On the average, each figure is an improvement over their prior release, to some measure...

From JtPrime, the first pair of 40th Anniversary Retro offerings got revealed, and they’re…cartoon color reissues of Blaster (with Steeljaw) and Soundwave( with Laserbeak and Ravage). Not unexpected, but I’m a bit sad Hasbro is still pumping out these reissues when something like a Netflix...

Basically, the only way I see for that company to rebound is to take Musk out of the equation. So long as he continues to dictate policy based on his most recent, half-cocked, idea or slight? The site will never recover because nobody running can do anything because ANY plans they might have...

The movie might not have amounted to much, but the best part of this film for me? All the 89-Batman stuff companies have used this film to leverage. Toys, merchandise....I've seen more Batman stuff from this film than Flash. The other day? I found a Lego "Impulse bag" for Batman Returns for...

Not sure if reported, but SS86 Frenzy and his Rise of the Beasts wave mates were at the local Walmart here in Oklahoma. I got Frenzy because I expect them other two to be easier to get.

Especially when you walk into Ollies and find Reissue Tigatron for $7.99, Scorponok for $9.99 and the Ultras for $15 :p

I've also found Beast Wars Reissue Scorponok for $10

Sadly, the Nemesis Bridge set is probably STILL a cheaper venue in getting Earth Soundwave and Laserbeak than trying to get the Netflix set. And the other two probably won't be too bad (albeit, losing Shockwave's awesome upgrade geebles). With the number of Coronation sets popping up at Ollies...

He also posted a rather compelling image with Terrorcon Cliffjumper, showing a possible retool path for Chase (Prime Cliffjumper, not necessarily the Terrorcon version).

I think Ollies must source inventory on more regional levels. I WISH I had seen a Slaughter or 3.75 Joe stuff. All I found at mine was a pile of Lady Jaye at $12.99 and a pile of movie Classified for $4.99. Given the relative lack of Joe stuff compared to other brands, I’m inclined to say...

Toy Fair is this weekend! Nothing new for collectors (that’s what Pulsecon was for), but Steve Evans, of Hasbro, has posted a preview of the 2024 Avengers Epic Heroes line. Notable is the return of blister packs (!), return to a general “Avengers” theming, and expansion to multiple deluxe...

“Created by” sounds more prestigious than “adapted by”. Heck, Konami hardly gets a mention in the credits! All told, I think the season was, broadly, more consistent than the prior Castlevania series, on a per season basis. And consistently good at that. The big thing that stood out to me...

At a nearby Ross, I saw Origins Stridors for $5 Meanwhile, at Walmart next door, they remain $33.

Must be new toy week, saw the newest wave of Deluxes at Target today, along with Studio Series Voyager Rhinox and Gamer Megatron. Like a dweeb, I got the Beast Combiners Optimus Prime instead of the new Legacy stuff.

That’s what I was thinking when that idea was first mentioned. I feel like, if Hasbro is going to dip into the well of unmade designs, there are PLENTY more compelling than the Animated Powermaster concept. Everything from Transtech, to unmade show characters (especially RiD15’s Decepticons)...

Since when has double dipping been a concern for Hasbro? The only reason Hot Shot got a minicon was because he was packed in a premium package with extras and a corresponding price increase. Armada Galvatron will be a simple repaint.

I’m sure someone will correct me, but isn’t United Wave 1 the first time in years (at least since the whole Themed year thing) that G1 has had NO representation across the ENTIRE product range of a given wave? Core, Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, there are NO G1, or G1-adjacent (like comic iterations)...

To be fair, Hasbro HAS been pretty good on ensuring stuff gets rereleased. At the very least, as a Non-vintage character, I expect Shadow Tracker to be easy(er) to get than most. The lack of XCom mention is saddening.

I’m calling it now: The reason for the Thundertron Leader listing is because it’s going to be a repeat of the Kingdom Spoiler set with Megatron. We’ll get a slightly redeco’d Thundertron (maybe a GO Prime deco?) with one of the Armorizers in bronze/gold coloring And maybe some “golden Energon...

I’m still holding out on the idea that Hasbro’s going to, eventually, do an Animated Optimus with Face plate and all those geebles in some form. Be it a Selects or Con exclusive, I firmly believe Hasbro’s got something like that cooking.
