Didn't find a dedicated Sonic thread, but.... With the movie doing well, and a new fancy 3D game still purportedly due later this year, Sega is striking while the iron is hot. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sonic-origins-is-remastered-classic-sonic-collection-coming-june-23/1100-6502606/...

Guess this means Grant Gustin will be available to pick up the DC movies Flash role after Ezra Miller's shenanigans seem to have gotten him fired.

Yeah, not sure where you're trying to go with that given Cybertron Metroplex was last available in 2006...SIXTEEN years ago. I'm actually impressed with how Metroplex turned out. I really DO think they managed to address a good number of flaws of the original toy. I like the revised Brute...

The Legends wave. That's definitely Natalie Portman's face https://news.toyark.com/2022/04/18/thor-love-and-thunder-marvel-legends-revealed-465083

Toys are starting to dribble out to retail, but toy distributors like Entertainment Earth have started their preorders with estimated release between May and July, with a few odd items in September. Looks like June is when they expect to get a majority of the line’s items. Note that the toys...

And it was stupid for other fundamental reasons. The whole point in being an IP company is to leverage your media to license out and make money. Disney or Warner don't make new Batman or Spider-Man cartoons to "stand on their own". They aren't made for an artistic expression. They're made to...

I find it hard to disagree with that. The last decade has really felt like Hasbro wants the big pay off of being an “IP company” but has been unwilling or unable to commit the time and resources of doing it, or willing to pay to do it WELL. With the broader direction of the action figure...

Just speaking for myself…while I’m more than able to create my own fiction for the toys…sometimes you really need the “seed” of the idea. I strongly feel that ALL lines, but especially cross generation lines, need some sort of “narrative hook”. A justification of not only getting the...

I think my Walmart still has a bunch of those sitting on the shelf

What are you...? Oh. Oh my... That packaging just hits ALL the right notes on me. I wanted to cut back, but I might have to get one or two just for the packaging. Though Discovery (and I assume other recent Trek shows will get this design) looks pretty sharp too.

Didn’t Hasbro tool up some alternate parts for Dinoking (aka, Japanese Monstructor)? I’m expecting a new Road Ceaser myself. The Brainmasters aren’t far off from the Stunticons in alt mode or broad robot design. Could well incorporate Thunderclash as the torso and add a new member to fill...

The Batman will be airing on HBO Max next week on April 18th, Monday.

I think what's tripping me up on Knock Out is that I always viewed him as being a bit more "petite" in frame compared to guys like Bumblebee and Smokescreen, much less the curves. I think instead of the Mustang/BMW-esque design, I think he might have worked better using a 90s Jaguar or...

Feels like a much stronger wave than the first we saw. I just tried to check and the Transformers Legacy website is down. Maybe they're updating with info on the new figures. Kind of feels like the translucent weapons don't seem quite as prevalent as in wave 1, but the extra weapons are always...

https://www.playmatesstartrektoys.com/ Playmates has a new website up for their relaunched Star Trek slate due this summer (Prodigy due in October). It's such an amusing throwback. It's a modern "Flash-esque" site designed like the old LCARS interface. Got noises and little animations, just...

I appreciate the usage of the G2 Decepticon symbol…but not much else. I’m a bit disappointed it wasn’t a new mold since Hasbro has effectively done the same thing with the prior Earthrise Megatron and his redeco. If they were going to repaint the Core mold, an original Combat Hero deco might...

And fans thought we would ONLY be getting one more wave of figures this year… lol

I think it looks fine, a nice change from the usual pure G1 primes we’ve been getting. I like how they tweaked the colors to make it more ”palatable” yet still retail the original toy’s overall look. That said, as I’ve strived to cut back….I don’t view him as something I NEED to get. And...

Pfft, as if that council ever really mattered to begin with (j/k...sorta?)
