An online retailer named CollectionToys.com has seemingly leaked the other parts of the Rise of the Beasts Studio Series cases: Battletrap will be joined by Cheetor (SS98), while Airrazor (SS101) will fill out the case with Bumblebee https://collecticontoys.com/collections/rise-of-the-beasts

A great injustice has FINALLY been corrected!

So, I guess the story here is that an independent toy store in Turkey got a bunch of new Hasbro stuff, and the owner’s son decided to share some images. Hopefully, this means we’ll be getting a good look at the rest of the “kids stuff” before too much longer. Smash Changer Optimus Primal...

New stuff may be on the precipice of reveal: Entertainment Earth has notes that Hasbro will be “dropping” a bunch of new product next Saturday, with Transformers explicitly called out. Given Hasbro’s…lack of interest…in the actual kids toys, I feel we might see some wave 1 stuff then. Drops...

Next week will be interesting: Entertainment Earth is now posting a “drop zone” where they reveal when new stuff is slated to be put up for preorder by various companies. Hasbro has a, seemingly, significant drop for next Saturday with Transformers explicitly noted. With Rise of the Beast kids...

That’s against TOS!

I’d just be happy to see a new release (same with Optimus, for that matter) that just omitted the damn stickers. I’d gladly pay up to $70 or so to get that toy without the worry of stickers falling off, or get a few extra paint apps.

Because nobody, besides me, remember there’s a Studio Series thread. My thoughts are over there :p

The newest batch of leaks revealed additional stuff for Rise of the Beasts: Deluxe and Voyager figures NOT tied to the Studio Series. I kind of wonder of they weren’t part of the reason there were no plans for Studio Series stuff last year; if Hasbro wasn’t planning on Deluxe and Voyager...

One of the big reveals in the latest batch of listings was a Studio Series Commander class Ultra Magnus. In my gut, I feel like they’ll end up going for the “Masterpiece-lite” by omitting the cab robot and opening up the trailer for car storage, along with making him a little bigger with more...

The Legacy reveals are..well we kind of figured that out with the line art Hasbro showed a bit back. I DO think Armada Prime will be a nice entry, though. Skipped the Ark and Nemesis has even less interest to me, even if it ended up with a Purple Griffin mode. Curious on Buzzworthy, though...

According to the Toyark, distributors have started to post listings for next summer's TMNT movie line. The most interesting thing is that the company noted is NOT Playmates Toys. It seems McFarlane Toys, hot off the Avatar license, will be producing toys this time around. To me, this is a...

No, it's the cost of designing, producing and appropriately distributing different packaging for different markets. As much as we can bemoan the standardization at play, I feel Hasbro probably DOES save money doing so. Instead of making sure the Euro packaging ends up in Europe, or having to...

For you? Probably not much aside from gelling with other recent Generations toys. BUT, for someone who wasn’t able to get an Animated Prowl FIFTEEN YEARS AGO…it might be a more cost effective solution than trying to hunt down one on the secondary market. I think it bears repeating that, if you...

It’ll just be refreshing to see a reissue that isn’t a Prime, Hot Rod, a seeker, Astrotrain or Cassette player

Most retailers, including Hasbro Pulse, has the release date for the preorders as "April 2023". Given online retailers tend to get their stuff after brick and mortar, I expect toys on shelves in mid-late March, with some stuff leaking earlier.

Now THAT makes the $200 well spent! As a kid, I was too old to get the "core" 84-85 characters, and was WAY into the Micro Machines/Micromaster play pattern, so the Rescue Squad was repurposed into Prowl, Ratchet, Inferno and Seaspray. I'm passed that, but having ONE of the Micromaster Squads...

That seems like a possibility for the film, but the toy looks like goggles DO fold up. As Wheeljack, the figure doesn't do much for me. But I can't deny I love the idea of VW bus Transformer, and the actual DESIGN looks fine. I even dig the goggles as they sort of remind me of oversized...

New images show that Skyquake has pegs that connect to Needlenose. Makes me think some sort of G1 Skyquake and one of the mini jets as some sort of exclusive seems likely.
