My observations, for whatever THAT is worth, was that MOTU Netflix was seemingly doing “okay”. In that, I saw some regular turn over and found new figures reasonably quickly. Then again, I also saw another Walmart with PILES of the stuff on clearance. But Mattel had a LOT of stuff on deck for...

Some…minor weirdness from Hasbro’s SDCC product display (that I could see, it seems to have been…OVERLOOKED by many sites). The placard for Core Voyager Rhinox lists a release date of October. Yet Walmart is LOADED with him at the moment. Placards for the Core Deluxe figures say…Available...

Boy, I think I might be irritating Carson Mataxis over on Facebook :p He's gotten some JUICY stuff concerning GI Joe 1995, with comments from Marketing Director Vinnie D'Alleva. But I had to open my gob and contradict some of the information. Not out of spite, but I felt Mr. D'Allleva's...

https://variety.com/2023/film/news/masters-of-the-universe-movie-dead-netflix-1235673281/ Looks like Netflix was balking at the costs for the film well before the strikes. With production on everything halted for an unknown amount of time, Netflix probably felt the film wasn’t worth stringing...

Weekend update, and it’s still just bad news for the film. While final numbers aren’t in, BOM estimates are generally close enough to interpret broad trends. And the trend for Flash is a continued train crash into a chasm that just get deeper and deeper… Weekend 5, roughly a month since...

Hasbro, basically, never marketed the $60 “Ultimate” Optimus Primal toy at all. All indications are this was a TakaraTomy deal that Hasbro was courteous enough to offer to import through its “fan channel” partners. Reportedly, this figure runs around $40 in Japan, but I think Hasbro added a...

Now, that’s just offensive.

Some in hand pictures of Ultimate Optimus Primal. Contrary to earlier reports/information, the figure is NOT 11”. Linked are images of comparison shots between UOP and the original Beast Wars Ultra Optimus Primal. They are practically the same size in beast mode, while Rise of the Beast gets...

It still feels weird to see stuff like the Toxitron capsule and see toys INTENTIONALLY lacking paint apps as we’ve been harking about that for years. Even weirder to see how much interest there IS for these items.

I’ve also found there to be more than a little bit of bias when it comes to reviews of films like Transformers. More than a few of them felt like the reviews were mostly written or a view established BEFORE even seeing the film. Bumblebee was well reviewed almost in SPITE of the general...

You guys want the toy news here? Okay… Amazon has the X-Jet up for order RIGHT NOW. Includes Storm https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-XMN-Vehicle-with-Figure/dp/B0BDHTNHSM?tag=enewsi-20 A little undersized, but at least Hasbro is including figures with its premium vehicle offerings. But they seem...

It’s (semi) official- Rise of the Beasts has crossed $150 million at the US box office. The first Transformers film to do so since Age of the Extinction in 2014. Worldwide is still lagging behind Bumblebee at $411 million, but there are still several major markets yet to see it open and results...

Jokes on them, most are already starving!

From the information I’ve seen…no? Unless retailers are getting some wacky mixes, he shouldn’t be. The Turtles are shipping by themselves with the side characters relegated to another assortment. So unless Playmates IS weighing the assortments to certain characters, they should be even. The...

More images of the “Ultimate” Optimus Primal toy. Not the animatronic, but the upsized Core Voyager with peg support, extra articulation and fold out weapons. I still see people demeaning this compared to the fiddly mess that the Studio Series Leader is apt to be. I’m a little sad this didn’t...

I’ve got ooo-baby on my ignore list. The only reason I even know these threads are still active is when somebody bumps them and I see them in the recent thread activity or last thread response on the main page. But I LOVE the New Adventures shout outs! I’m still waiting for Mattel to give me...

A major quote being spread around is from Disney CEO Bob Iger, calling guilds’ demands as “adding new challenges in addition to those faced” by the industry. That the guilds must “be realistic on the business environment and what it can deliver”. As Iger stands to get a base compensation...

Following the lead of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), who began their strike back in May, the SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) has joined them this evening. The core cast of Oppenheimer walked out during the film’s premiere due to the call...

I don’t know…Hasbro has been doing these crossover nods between the franchises for decades, to varying degrees. Obviously, Hasbro and Paramount really seem to be eyeing a crossover film (adding the stinger to Rise of the Beasts), but I’m hesitant to read too much into this aside from a fun nod...

I beat The Butcher! Granted, I'm still on Tier 1 and I'm really overleveled at 55 with full slate of synergystic legendaries...but I still held my own with my Druid!
