Box Office Update! Numbers will probably adjust tomorrow, but as of the time I’m posting, Rise of the Beasts is already on track to beat Bumblebee’s US domestic gross by next weekend, though the international numbers have been softer. Of note, the film has yet to open in Japan, Australia and...

I’m not sure Hasbro would commit to a full Titan for Megatron. But I think a Commander would be a “good enough“ option. I can see it almost like Rodimus Prime: The head itself transforms into an “attack mode” and robot mode, but has a central “cockpit” with the control helmet. The central...

Money’s tight when you’re doing an 11th hour teaser for another franchise… I think the intent was just the fact there was this massive hitech lab in what appeared to be a generic warehouse sector.

It reminds me a bit of GI Joe Retaliation and its Extended Action Cut. The film was clearly cut down to fit a time limit (unnecessary for Joe, but I think the trim running time ultimately benefited RotB), but was done enough that an extended cut could be possible. A lot of what I’m reading is...

Again, maybe at one point, and it kind of ”feels” that way…but obviously not in the final product.

That’s exactly what I was going to post lol When I saw the trailer, it was damned near a beat for beat redux of Morbius: the childhood trauma, the acquisition of animal based powers, the stupid CGI “wall jumps”, the shirtless shot, the ”money shot” of the character in classic form, even the...

That’s the big question. Knight reportedly runs on Unreal Engine 3 (same as the first two), so my inclination is that it should be a full on port to the platform. As is, the footage during the direct looked a bit “smeary” when it came to Knight, like what tends to happen with a LOT of Switch...

Aside from looking like a zombie Transformer, the final film seemed to make a deal out of it…but I’m not sure to what end. Like a number of areas of the film, it feels like there was something lost between the concept and final execution. I still think Scourge started his existence as some...

To be fair, though, just about ALL the big releases this year have been soft to lackluster, short Disney remakes and Marvel films. Mario was a surprise hit, and John Wick 4 is building on 3 very well received films to a conclusion of sorts. But Fast X? Won’t break $150 million domestically...

Too many figures of the SAME characters :p I’m waiting to see how Studio Series Nightbird ends up. The Core is fine from a design standpoint, but I’m baffled at the decision to cast so much of her in bronze/gold, especially with how it negatively impacted the vehicle mode. Even the film...

A bit tangential to gaming, but not sure it warrants its own thread: I got around to watching Virtually Heroes. I enjoyed it, and its meta elements are WAY better done that it had any right to be. So what is it? And, hey, its got Mark Hamill! Back in 2013, Roger Corman (yes, THAT Corman)...

Really, had the movie opened to Elemental’s numbers (sub 30 mil opening weekend), THEN we’d be talking a bomb. Reportedly, Elemental’s budget was in the $200 million range as well. Then again, there’s a LOT of money on the back end we don’t see. While Paramount+ will get the streaming options...

Pursuit of Cobra Low Light I think will remain one of the most impressively accessorized single figure ever made. Especially when you consider I preordered mine for $5.99! Low Light is solid, but I have greater attachment to the Marauders version. And, after BBQ, I'm not worried about him...

Also looks like some modifications to the battle system, including "ultimate moves". Valentina got a breast reduction and lost her jiggle, too. I LOVE Super Mario RPG, so that's a sure fire purchase for me. Star Ocean 2 is on my radar, though the Arkham collection feels a couple years behind...

We still haven’t seen the Studio Series Nightbird. We’ve just seen the “lower end” Core Deluxe version. A decade ago, we might have gotten some nifty redeco options, but that doesn’t feel like the way things are done. Especially in Studio Series, where accuracy to the medium is the biggest...

If there were any toys that demonstrate my continued…frustrations…with the collector segment, it’s those two. It’s disappointing/baffling/frustrating that the “lesser” Deluxe and Voyager figures “hit their notes” (so to speak) BETTER that the premium/collector segment. With Mirage, we’ve...

Studio Series is off limits due the licensing issues with the design. THAT SAID, I’m not sure the Core Deluxe Cheetor is subject to that since the first we saw of the design was in an Evergreen Titan Changer box. Hasbro has been more apt to do that the past year or so. We saw it with...

Stevie’s thoughts! Shadow Striker, I think they did a good job. But…I’m not overly attached to the character. And I see WAY too much SideBurn to not wait and see how he ends up. Detritus- I have other Earth (or similar) Hounds, but I don’t have a Detritus. And having faction options is...

Target will probably reveal them in the next couple weeks for their collector con thingy.

Shipwreck’s wave is shipping now, but probably won’t reach US distributors until mid-late July. Most online retailers have him slated to arrive between August and September. Unless you got those overseas “connections”. Frankly, at this stage, if you aren’t ordering online, you only have...
