But are the bad points AS BAD as those found in prior Michael Bay directed entries?

I was simple, I just got my order in for Bombshell (them Insecticons sell out fast online) and Detritus. I'm a touch surprised Hasbro didn't up and use the Mercenary symbol for him instead of the weird dual symbol thing they got going on.

This show is basically an anime Lois and Clark and I’m totally here for it.

Like I said back when it came out: I think Rise of the Beasts did an excellent job balancing those audience expectations while not indulging to baser elements the “Bay films” frequently gravitated towards. And I think the improved US box office is reflective of that. Speaking of Box...

My snarky side immediately went to seeing the humor in, for the 40th Anniversary, making a literal G1 toy with knees. I could see this as a nice compromise in a number of areas. Hasbro’s tooling base for reissues is diminishing (and we’re already seeing a LOT of redo on that front), while the...

Meant to post on this a while back, but still relevant: If you plan on moving to California or Florida and don’t have property insurance? You’re probably screwed. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/homeowners-go-without-insurance-in-states-where-its-too-expensive-rcna88578

Given the endless delays, and the original expected date of next spring, I guess my expectation/assumption was that the film was pretty far along in production (given the greater lead times for animation). My take on it was that Sony was, effectively, “saving a trump card”, so to speak. They...

Sony is the first to blink. They just announced a significant reorganization of their 2024 film slate. Among the more notable date shifts is Kraven (due this October) got pushed all the way to next August (nearly a year delay), and the removal of Spiderverse 3 from the slate completely. Sony...

The Strikes are starting to affect release dates. Sony pushed Kraven back from October to August of 2024.

So…Season 1 has been out for a week. I like the mini campaign associated. hell, I actually DID like the overall story campaign, even if it felt a little too ambitious for nature of the game itself. It had some nice twists and explored some relatively new ideas in regards to the nature of the...

Outriders were the beastly creatures Thanos used as shocktroops during the Avengers Infinity films.

The safe speculation is that Thundertron will be ”a partial” (to use Hasbro parlance) to BW Silverbolt

Basically closer to their original figure versions. A good comparison would be comparing Classified Gung Ho’s original release and comparing that to his Walmart Retro version. Or Snake Eyes, where the Alpha Commando version used Beachhead parts, but the upcoming Retro version uses parts from...

Not to trend into certain grounds, but… Mainstream Hollywood didn’t try to bury anything. It is a low budget thriller that got lost in the shuffle of a corporate buy out (in this case, Disney’s purchase of Fox). When you are trying to balance the slate of films Disney and Fox had circa 2018, a...

Some interesting metrics from BOM from yesterday. Transformers lost some 1200 locations this weekend, likely due to the massive dual roll outs from Oppenheimer and Barbie. Currently playing in 834 locations, the most interesting thing I saw was that, despite the MASSIVE drop in locations, the...

Looks like July 20 was the last day The Flash was in wide distribution. It is no longer listed for any metrics for this weekend. The post-mortem is looking like this: On a hefty (reported) budget of about $200-220 million, the film ends its domestic run with just $107 million. Worldwide is...

Right now, the only issues with me buying GI Joe stuff is on me. There really isn’t much there to fault. The upcoming reveals look solid, I’m eagerly awaiting looks at Retro Duke. I like how they expanded on Tripwire, much like they did with Snow Job. I knew waiting would net me the Python...

What?! *Looks at Paramount+ app* Surprise episode?

Official images of the Legends wave (REALLY good stuff, especially the extra accessories. Hasbro just NAILED this wave, and shows maybe BAFs aren’t all they’re cracked up to be) and the Target exclusive Team Pack ($45, a DAMN fine price for 5 fully articulated action figures these days)...

I saw him briefly when the line launched, but Galvatron and Blitzwing have just piled up around here. All things considered, I think Optimus Prime will ALWAYS be pretty safe for a package refresh.
