Hasbro actually offers a majority of their products as "single case items". It seems, in this case, Leo Prime and Hot Shot single cases seem to have made it out before the mixed cases or other full cases of the other figures in the wave.

It’s going to be a “Battle Mask” Bumblebee, the colors of the first 4 pack, mold of the 2nd (VW bug) with a new toy accurate head. And I’ll TOTALLY end up buying it!

Amazon apparently has Leo Prime and Hot Shot in stock for shipping. Guess the Evolution is upon us! We’re TOTALLY going to see a big gap in releases for the back half, aren’t we? Not that it matters since I’ve NEVER seen past wave 1 locally aside from Voyager wave 2 and Leader wave 2. My...

Actually, the main page of Pulse DOES show an obscured look at some sort of turret mode. But I get the feeling that Freezer is basically a glorified Battlemaster, and his main purpose will be to "complete" one of the other Terrorcons. The more notable reveal today, in terms of the line as a...

Entertainment Earth has posted preorder links for SS Core Wave 5, featuring Rise of the Beasts Arcee and Terrorcon Freezer. And good news! More Rumble! https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/transformers-studio-series-core-wave-5-case-of-8/hsf3135e

Paramount and Hasbro have faith D&D will be taking off this year, a TV series is reportedly in the works https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dungeons-dragons-tv-series-in-the-works-at-halo-yellowstone-network-paramount/1100-6510452/

Mistransformed or not…I’m not sure that completely absolves the weak robot mode. It almost feels like Hasbro did an Arcee in this price point to satisfy the crazy “scale die hards“, more than anything else. I know there are listings for a number of additional Arcee figures, though I can’t...

At the end of the day, Hasbro is still in the business of making toys, which includes managing costs. Given the relative obscurity of Crosscut as a character, and this being the third use of the mold in a year, I just don’t think the design/marketing guys felt this was ”a hill worth dying on”...

Entertainment Earth’s “Drop Zone” has a posting for Tuesday, January 24th at 10am PST: “This is going to be a beast of a drop, so be sure not to miss it!” Kind of feels like a hint to a big preorder drop for Rise of the Beasts. There are other Tuesday listings that point to Transformers drops...

Freezer transforms into a weapon usable by other Studio Series? Perhaps this character (or characters, if there ends up being more than one) provided the inspiration behind the “Power Series” of gimmick toys planned for release? Either way, Freezer looks like an ”old school” Bayformers design...

I mean, it was FINE…but it was just that. It wasn’t a mess of a film like the Sony live action films have been. It’s clearly cut from the same cloth as the post-Justice League DCEU films (ie, more blatantly trying to “Marvel up” their films). The writing really isn’t up to to handling the...

Oh, the optimism of youth

Crosscut has leaked. Looking like wave 2 is Crosscut, Animated Prowl, bike Junkion, and probably an unseen Decepticon He's exactly what you think he is, but the silver and red is still quite striking, and I actually dig his character concept...

And Hasbro Pulse is shipping TF Duke. Got my notification last week. Still no word on his Tiger Force buds, though.

A Bravo version (the small ones) of discount Authentic Optimus Primal has been found overseas. Like the Titan Changer, his design is more evocative of the original design than Cheetor's Rise of the Beasts-based Titan Changer. The usual lack of deco aside, he doesn't look bad for a $6-7...

Images are out of a Rise of the Beasts Cheetor toy. What kind? It seems to be some sort of deluxe, given the size comparison with Battletrap, Wheeljack and the larger deluxe Airrazor. If the trailer is accurate, Cheetor (in the film) will be bigger than Bumblebee, so this might be part of the...

Witch from Mercury is now streaming, weekly, from Gundam.info's Youtube channel. New episode every Sunday, in case you didn't want to spend money on Crunchyroll.

I think the Animated Omega is probably the most viable because it can, potentially, hit a lot of targets. An alt mode evoking the Ark, and the Omega robot mode. Maybe in a few years if pricing makes makes rerunning the Ark or Omega Supreme less practical. But we ALL know the Titan we NEED…...

The biggest issue with Gigastorm is that he’s, fundamentally, not THAT a significant a change from Trypticon. Aside from the new head laser cover and some remixed color locations…he still hits about all the same color marks as Trypticon. That said, a Dinosaurer redeco based on the Gum toy...

I didn’t find an overt thread for the the feature film due this spring, so I guess we’ll just use this for all things D&D. Honor Among Thieves will be out at the end of March and Hasbro is rolling a full spread marketing blitz for the film. We’ve already seen a handful of items this past fall...
