So, it turns out that, sometimes, it pays to actually watch the corporate shilling. Hasbro’s Marvel guys were on stream with Marvel Entertainment and “officially” revealed the X-Men 97 product line. The big reveal we hadn’t seen was a Target exclusive 5 pack, featuring all the figures we’ve...

You seen what those are going for these days? A new one would only be a little more expensive with a better bot mode

That doesn’t count!

His first go last season didn’t impress me, but it feels like he’s starting to grow into the role. It feels like this episode, he’s really starting to find his “swagger” as Kirk. Also, next week‘s big crossover episode will be directed by Star Trek alum Jonathan Frakes. It’ll be a 3 way...

I missed the Pulse preorder period (dang overnight shifts!), but I got an order in at Amazon for Nova Prime. I’ve never had a big “thing” for Nova Prime, but I adored the Battle Core Optimus Prime deco from Combiner Wars, and this will be as close as Hasbro likely gets to acknowledging that...

Hasbro’s got a new wave of Legends for the series as well. Good chance to pick up on a few you might have missed earlier. Some of these might have more differences than what I’m seeing from prior releases: Wolverine (mask and unmasked) Bishop (new short hair) Gambit Rogue (green jacket) Storm...

Super7 is going a LOT more into GI Joe than, arguably, Hasbro is. Like their fantastic looking pop up store at SDCC: The Cobra Global Operations location. This is also where the info about the Snake Mothership first came out. ReAction or not…seeing that wall of carded GI Joe figures just...

I’m with the broader consensus here: Commander Ultra Magnus is very nice, but it doesn’t do anything (short of extra paint and extra accessories) appreciably better than the Kingdom one I already have. Same is true of Ratchet, I already have the Siege (love the Cybertronian “geebles“ ) AND...

So, just sayin‘, anyone want to split a set? I want SG Hot Rod, but not Armada Dredge. Any takers?

I appreciate it for what it is, and props for official VW branding. But I’m still over here, holding my candle for a transforming Owlbear…

On the subject of the old movie, there is apparently a Gwildor figure on deck as well (in a two pack with Resurrected Orko). Mattel also put out samples of Cyborg Skeletor, also to be featured in MOTU Revolution.

For all intents and purposes, Hasbro has largely “given up” marketing the kids stuff at these sorts of events. A majority of collectors either don’t notice, don’t care, or complain about that segment’s inclusion. I don’t expect any news about Earthspark toys

Also, Super7 is REALLY starting to flex themselves, with the reveal of ReAction Trouble Bubbles and a Cobra Mothership (the one from the opening of ARAH season 1. Yes, reportedly, Super7 IS planning on offering this for sale. If Super7 starts offering 3.75” vehicles, that entire line could...

Tiger Force Flint was looking REALLY good until that face paint. I don’t mind the addition of it, but the application here (the black band across his eyes) is a bit..bland and lack personality, relative to what Tunnel Rat and Dusty ended up getting. While I applaud new concepts and idea, the...

Hot Shot will push $40, mark my words. It's not just the minicon, but the extra guns and blast effects as well. Also, that sure looks like an Armada Thrust from the cone head mold lurking back there...

Such is the fate of all live service games... https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gundam-evolution-is-shutting-down-in-november-a-year-after-release/1100-6516136/

They are going to get us on double dips before we even get Copper Kid, aren't they?

Now THAT is a Duke headsculpt! https://news.hisstank.com/2023/07/20/sdcc-2023-mezco-one12-collective-g-i-joe-action-figures-82820

I fear the day they offer the Miraj

First images from Super7’s SDCC booth. Notable for me are the toy-deco Silverhawks figures, which feature a toy deco Buzzsaw and Vac Metal Steelhart and Quicksilver. https://toynewsi.com/345-48619
