Everything old is new again, again!

So, you wondering what Rhinox’s final (or near final) look in the film will be? https://www.allspark.com/new-first-looks-at-two-upcoming-studio-series-figures/ Turns out, he’s not THAT far removed from his other merch in looks. I dig the battle hammer, and it ties into the Maximal cast being...

The film is currently available on premium VOD services, with it being available to stream on Paramount+ on May 16 (supposedly, I’m not trusting of the sources I found for that)

I think I said this before, but the only MOTU vehicles I have any distinct memories of were the Turbodactyl (gotten in 88 or so), Slime Pit (played with once, basically ruined all my classic MOTU figures, or enough they got thrown out), and the Land Shark. I remember my mom had taken me with...

So, quick recap on where we were and how we got here: Hasbro managed to secure the rights to Micronauts around 2009, on the back of the success of Transformers and its sequel, eyeing the property as another potential film adaption with Paramount. Around 2014, Hasbro was apparently eyeing a...

The white Transformers boarder and the "first trilogy" Prime design give me weird 2011 flashbacks

I kind of dig the idea of this new “trilogy” being some sort of ”divergent time line” deal. I’m daring to hope that they play with the idea that, with the Maximals maybe coming from the future, you can “rewrite” the Bay films. I’m totally on board with them “Days of Future Past”-ing the...

I don’t disagree on the general sentiment, though I think Hasbro IS getting better. Beast Alliance and their Epic Scale (4”) Marvel figures have been hitting a REALLY nice spot in terms of value for the product. Though, being the Devil’s Advocate that I am, Masterverse figures MSRP is $24.99...

BBTS is also running a weekend sale on MOTU items, notably the first waves of Masterverse basic and deluxe figures. For Origins fans, the Buzz Off/Sorceress/Jitsu/Mini-comic Stratos wave is just $35.

And many of those aren’t even the original 90s molds, at least not completely.

Because the new trailer has me feeling froggy…I’m going to try and predict the remaining RotB products for the end of the year. Given how Hasbro has handled prior films across multiple lines, I’m not expecting more than one more wave of most assortments. Repaints will likely be relegated to...

Also, got a question for those in the US… Are you guys able to find the Core Deluxe (NOT the 3 pack) and Core Voyager figures anywhere besides Walmart? I’m wondering if Walmart got an early exclusivity deal with the Core Assortments, like they did with the Avengers Mechasaurs line. That line...

One rumor I heard is that the film will be about the same duration as Bumblebee. So, even if it sucks, at least it won’t give people time to linger assuming it keeps a good pace with the action sequences. Hell, I’m half able to assemble the plot from these two trailers: Opens with an Optimus...

I mean, look what happened with the Fast and Furious franchise for that matter!

We just got a Super Mario film which had Jack Black as a decent Bowser. jive's wild, man.

I know. It’s a nice port, but it’s still a fairly simple “up-make” for a pair of GBA games. Aside from the “having two games of content”, it doesn’t appear to be as sophisticated a release as, say, the near-ground up rebuild of Metroid Prime, which was only $40!

And now Disney is finally suing. Who woulda thunk that Disney would probably be on the right in a lawsuit? https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/26/politics/disney-desantis-reedy-creek-power/index.html

I’m rather shocked Hasbro never went back to ad hoc a retool of PotP Prime to get something closer to a “proper” PMOP. The fundamental design was there.

I'm just here for the Batman team up movie
