  1. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Speaking of Rudy…turns out lying for a narcissist with a history of not paying anyone isn’t a good idea. He’s broke: https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/rudy-giuliani-donald-trump-legal-bills/
  2. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Just some quick analysis from me on Studio Series: MV6 Frenzy I suspect is a misname for 86 Frenzy. I think Rumble popped up as “MV6 Rumble” at one point. ”Next Gen Bumblebee” strikes me as a new BB from the new Transformers game ”HM Megatron” is odd. I’d say “High Moon” Megatron, but we...
  3. Transformers Legacy toyline

    While you all are going back and forth about a 3 year old mold we’ve gotten a ton of already…JtPrime posted new listings, including a Star Seeker sub line for Walmart next year. My biggest sad face about that is the lack of the original mass market pirate, Cannonball...
  4. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    “On advice of his legal council” he says. *chortle* His lawyers were probably like: ”For the love of GOD, don’t dig this jive hole any deeper than you already have, you orange leathered man-child!” But probably more condescending so Trumpy wouldn’t get his feelings hurt.
  5. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    Dial of Destiny will be released on Digital on August 28th. Disney+ viewing will probably be in later September. With an estimated budget of $295 million, the film has managed to scratch out $375 million at the WORLDWIDE box office, with the domestic box office unlikely to go far beyond $173...
  6. DC Toy Thread

    I really should up and get my own blog or something to post about some of these toys. But until I do, you will all suffer with me! Spin Master is gearing up for a new phase of toys this fall. Because they, functionally, don’t promote their kids stuff, I’m only finding bits and pieces of...
  7. Mayhems tangled mess of controler cords

    Probably worth posting here. Destin over at IGN posted a compelling response to some of the "backlash" Baldur's Gate 3 has received from some development circles. Since we don't have a dedicated BG3 thread (and I haven't had time to start something as big as that yet), I figured here was a...
  8. Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    That's the one for "the casuals". The real fans go full bore with the trailer and toy accuracy. ( :p ) I'm wondering/hoping, given the lead time, if we aren't getting a remake of the US box, or at least an English version of the Japanese remix of the box. Especially given they can't ship it...
  9. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Not sure where to put this, but since I’m comparing it to other RotB toys… One of “those toy reviewers” got their hands on Studio Series Optimus Primal, images have been ganked from the video. In addition to shots of the figure itself, there are comparisons of other Voyager releases and with...
  10. Thundercats - General Discussion (and some Silverhawks too, whynot)

    Preorders for toy styled Quicksilver, Steelhart, MonStar and Buzzsaw are up. Along with the vac metal styling, both the Silverhawks lose a number of accessories. MonStar gets a new alternate head and deco, but fewer overall accessories. Same with Buzzsaw (new deco, new alt head, but overall...
  11. 2023 Celebrity Death Thread

    Earlier in the week, we also lost film director William Friedkin. He left an indelible mark on cinema as the director of quintessential buddy cop film, The French Connection, and the iconic horror film, The Exorcist. He was 87...
  12. Hollywood is on Strike

    The disrupted release slate won't just affect consumers. The theatre industry, still reeling from the pandemic, could be dealt another crippling blow if the strike goes long enough to create an every slimmer release slate...
  13. Hasbro Q2 2023 earnings conference call

    I disagree. In 1998, Hasbro paid a mere $5 million for all of the consumer Atari assets and IP. Even though Atari, the gaming company, was largely irrelevant by the mid-90s, the names and IP still retained value. Especially as 80s/retro nostalgia started to kick in around the turn of the...
  14. Hasbro Q2 2023 earnings conference call

    From what I’ve half assed researched, Hasbro Interactive was largely successful. The division posted a loss in 1999, but that could well have been attributed to over-aggressive expansion and investment done in 1998. What ultimately killed Hasbro Interactive was the dot-com burst. Hasbro’s (and...
  15. Hasbro Q2 2023 earnings conference call

    I mean, I can see several factors you COULD point to. Among them the…questionable…quality of prior films barring the name. Maybe audience were getting a little “fantasy fatigued” given the amount of fantasy series released in the fall of 22 (House of the Dragon, Rings of Power, Willow, Wheel...
  16. Hasbro Q2 2023 earnings conference call

    It actively blows my mind that for all their fuss about making a AAA game development studio within Wizards of the Coast, they missed out on buying SquareEnix’s western assets for a measly $300 million. Hell, gaining the experience and resources of Crystal Dynamics ALONE would have been worth...
  17. The Repaint Concept Thread

    Y’know… If Hasbro designed a two part “Minicon combiner”, you could still get the two heads as helmet type accessories and maybe even incorporate a flip down faction panel. Then you could eliminate the “split sigil” on the front of the bike. Or slap a Mercenary or Unicron sigil on there.
  18. Hasbro Q2 2023 earnings conference call

    Yeah, sounds like Hasbro is just offloading the TV and film production assets and the media assets that don’t align with Hasbro franchise focus (while popular, Yellowjackets and The Rookie are hardly the kinds of properties that fit Hasbro’s IP catalog). But they are keeping Peppa Pig and PAW...
  19. Transformers Robo Rally Board Game from Renegade Games

  20. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    So, I guess Renegade Games not only announced a Transformers themed version of RoBo Rally, but a new GI Joe board game using Axis and Allies as a foundation. Called GI Joe: Battle for the Arctic Circle...
