And another that slipped a little more quietly, Louise Fletcher, the iconic Nurse Ratched and memorable Kai Wynn on Star Trek DS9 https://www.startrek.com/news/remembering-louise-fletcher

See, I kind of get what they're going for here. It's not about "Cassian becoming a rebel", it's a look into the wider world of the conflict between the Empire and the various political factions that become the Rebellion. It's as much a political thriller as it is about the oppressed fighting...

Assuming Jackman isn't a glorified cameo like the Illuminati were in Dr. Strange and the film is, at least, half way decent...there isn't much to say that this won't make a billion worldwide. I'm also not set on the "R" rating. I think creativity (especially humor) thrives best when its trying...

I’m glad to see Hasbro’s leveraging Rise of the Beasts to incorporate more Beast Wars into the franchise as a whole. I mean, this is still a pretty, well, BAD thing as they tend to be, it’s still nice to see the “Evergreen” segment expand beyond G1. Just like how Rescue Bots All Stars/Classics...

I might be getting a bit out of touch with the wider fandom (good or bad? Hard to tell yet), but what’s the big brouhaha with Breakdown? Especially since we’ve only seen him in his “calf mode”.

But what if it’s a Leader priced multipack like WFC Kingdom’s “Leader”? That would completely open up the field!

I think the fundamental issue with Lightyear was that it was too smart, tried to be too clever and too character-centric for what it needed to be, and what it WOULD have been if released back in 1995. Most of the issues I see in Lightyear are issues films (and especially, adaptions) have had a...

If I was doing the RiD Car Bros, I’d probably leave Sideburn his first version (second is too much like Hot Rod), while the other two’s Super iterations offer more distinct visual looks compared to other characters.

Me too! Maybe because I was the one who made one….a LONG time ago…before the old board got nuked. :p I want to say Target’s had this up for a couple of years at this point. I want to say I noticed this before I even got my SS86 Grimlock

Also, I need to start digging through the Switch releases more often. When the hell did Layer Section and Guardian Force get ported!?

I mean…they DO have a Lamborghini police mold. And Brawn isn’t EXCEPTIONALLY far off from Skids’ alt mode…

Nintendo’s running a big sale. One of the offerings is Starlink (Digital Deluxe) for just $20. Other notables include: the various Sega Ages offerings at under $5. Doom Slayers Collection for $20 (includes Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3, Doom 64 and Doom 2016). Doom 93 alone is $2 Entries in Resident...

Depends on if those are painted deco or stickers. Hot Rod is on the “short list” of characters I’m an easy mark for (like VW Bumblebees, or Grimlocks, or Starscreams). That said, while I think it looks okay, I really wish they had been a little more creative with their options. Then again...

Probably trying to get some of that Animal Crossing/Life-Sim money. They probably want to focus their energies on GOOD games to remaster :p It’s strange to me to see so many things i bought for the Vita end up getting remastered or remade between the current crop of consoles. About the...

It’s worth noting that Xbox has confirmed Goldeneye will also come to Xbox GamePass, so I’m sure there was some mutual license thing going between the two.

New Direct today! A Shocking amount of content, though it seems February is now "Switch kills your wallet" month with the large number of games that seem set to launch that month. There was so much, I'm not sure I can go through it all. Lots of Square remakes and ports on the horizon...

SYNERGY!

It kind of feels like the bad rap Switch ports have gotten over the years, especially of more modern titles. No, they aren't perfect conversions, and compromises are obvious...but you have to give props to having Doom 2016, Eternal and Witcher 3 playable on a mobile SoC from 2013

It’s not common anymore. Back circa 2004-ish, it wasn’t uncommon to find standard retail overstock (and I’m not counting the Universe repacks of Energon and Cybertron) find their way to Dollar General. This was before Hasbro and Mattel started to develop product explicitly FOR that sort of...
