I had an older neighbor boy give me some sort of micro, possibly handmade, metal nunchakus for my Mikey. Never messed with the actual toy versions since that one had real metal links so it “moved” like the cartoon/movies.

Yeah, I don't get the omission of 3d Blast and the Genesis versions of other games at this stage. Unless they're going to try and milk fans on a third release. I don't think you sound greedy at all, ZakuConvoy. Sega has released compilations of MORE of these games at a LESSER price in years...

Anyone remember when MySpace was the big social media darling?

Complete list with promo images of today's reveals. For a "dying line" they actually have a hefty amount of stuff on tap. https://www.toyark.com/2023/03/20/masters-of-the-universe-fall-2023-catalog-496867 Also, Wave 13 (2002 Randor, Snake Teela, Snake Trooper, Slamurai) has seen "limited...

Somewhat back to just talking about MOTU at the moment…in my current “fuss” over MOTU, I snagged the Minicomics Collection and the Toy Pictorial books from Amazon. Generally really well done, and the minicomics are always interesting because of how the brand evolved in its early years. But I...

All the more reason using Walmart as your example in regards to ANYTHING toys is a losing situation. Walmarts vary wildly from region to region, even within a metropolitan area. Several years ago, I went up to Iowa for some family business, and despite being a good 30% SMALLER than my local...

Got a notice today that Shrapnel is getting ready to ship from Pulse. That typically means he’ll be going out in the next week. Either this Legacy stuff is hitting fast, or I’ve just gotten used to a jacked up distribution where we get, like, 3 waves in the back 5 months of the year. Btw...

Oh, I LIVE for this kind of stuff! First one I got, something Velocitron styled: The Cybertanium Fist Tournament! The top Transformers fighters have gathered in a fighting tournament to determine the galaxy’s greatest combatant! With glory and Energon as the prize, all bets are off! Part of...

Entertainment Earth has a drop for next week, presumably for the next wave(s) of product for Origins and Masterverse. There are still listings from Walmart.com for the remainder of the year. I think doom and gloom is a BIT premature. MOTU isn’t flying off shelves, but frankly, little is at...

I’m a bit hesitant to speak TOO much about how something sells, simply because all I have available to me is a single Walmart. The trends I’ve seen at this store is a strong gravitation to collector lines, especially for legacy brands. It’s easier for me to find Marvel Legends than ANY of the...

No Grimlock orders.... I wonder if he just got "leaked early" and will be part of the fall's update to this "Capsule" as listings refer to this mini-lines. Rare for such lines to have multiple Leaders at the outset, but a new leader and a slate of deluxe would be a compelling Fall line up.

I hear ya. My first experience with the original Grimlock mold was the G2 version. (Which is why I love the first Classic Grimlock, my first Grim was the Pretender and seeing those nods was GLORIOUS!) That said, I can also look at it from the perspective that a "proper" G2 Grimlock is just a...

Same one that showed us the Toxitron set. Seems Night Force will be a Walmart exclusive, additional leaks revealed a Night Force Shooter and Night Force redeco of some sort. And from Taiwan, there is an auction for Tiger Force Dusty. He's likely the compliment to the already leaked Python...

So, here’s a guide to The Flash toy products. The only spoilers will be those available in toy form on the initial day of release. The only spoiler, of sorts, I know of is the inclusion of a second antagonist not featured in the trailers (Yet…). For simplicity, whenever I refer to a Batman...

Proof that Spin Masters are no fools, they've released some press info on the major releases as part of The Flash toy line. And there is a LOT of Batman... https://www.toyark.com/2023/03/15/michael-keatons-batman-and-more-the-flash-movie-toys-from-spin-master-496381 Let's face it, the big...

JTPrime found some listings for a second assortment of deluxe figures due in this G2 mini-line: Mirage Sideswipe Deadend Shadowstrip (package refresh).

Those are hideous. Hasbro understood the assignment well. Bonus points to the Kirby energy balls they got going on. About the only one that trips my trigger is Cloudcover. He looks wonderful. None of them click with me enough to fit them in the budget, but look nice in a garish way.

From what I recall, Macek wanted to make a trilogy. Part 1 was set around Earth, Part 2 set in the far side of the galaxy with the Macross crew dealing with Robotech War on that front, and Part 3 would have wrapped up the plot. Sentinels fell apart due to several factors: economic changes...

To be honest, it kind of sounds like you’re trying to, metaphorically speaking, “have your cake and eat it too”. You say you’re in tight straights, but refuse to compromise to doing any sort of dish cleaning in your only sink. You’re talking eating canned foods straight from a can, but refuse...
