UK specialist retailers report that they are receiving (and will be able to sell) the new four pack from this Friday, so presumably it will be announced by... Target? Is it Target in the US, I forget? This week, anyway.

https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/first-look-at-legacy-minerva.1233833/ Minerva images. Robot mode looks nice enough - the slightly blockier proportions suit Minerva more I think. Despite the cheesecake art she is *supposed* to be a teenage girl, and the headsculpt is a lot better than...

That is the best new faction logo they've done for a long time. A very, very, very long time.

Solid case assortments are good. Retailers can order popular figures more and not get stuck with figures that don't sell.

I feel like there's just something a bit... off about both of the Joe collabs. Blocky robots are fine, but they sort of feel like they were engineered as blocky prototypes and then instead of taking that idea and sculpting new parts that fit that engineering they just glued the detailing on top...

I kind of like how goofy that is as a concept, and it's actually pretty well executed.

Lots of reviews of Motormaster popping up. I feel like it was actively misleading of Hasbro not to let slip that the combined mode has a huge chunk of leftover parts that they neglected to show in any of the pictures, especially when taking paid orders. Between that, the awful looking painted...

Nomura would make it so you had to actually send them through the postal service to get their postmark on top in order to complete every fifth word or something. In Japan. During two specific weeks.

Yeah, that's gonna be cool.

Seems to have a bit of a disappointing amount of remolding compared to Fangry. He could have done with a new lower waist/crotch or different wings.

In the US it is, outside it isn't.

And us not knowing if that Omega Guardian repaint is selects or Shattered Glass (or something else I guess).

It's a straight swap - a better proportioned robot mode for a much (much) worse vehicle mode. It's a shame. I can't even work out why the front/feet stick out like dumpy trainers glued to the front rather than folding more inwards and being shaped in a more pointy fashion, which would help a...

Yes, I meant the coneheads tbh. The seekers have actually had a reissue I think already. But there's just some obvious easy wins that baffle me - Siege Skywarp, the coneheads, the Ironhide/Prowl pack, Netflix Soundwave. Earthrise Megatron's secondary market price has also shot up for a toy that...

It's very odd that that set can get a reissue but seekers and Prowl/Ironhide set can't when they were underproduced in the first place and are older.

I think we had a period when the issues were less stark. The classics/generations era where there were more convincing tyres, superior finishes etc. But we are at a point where the primary improvements are a bit of accuracy and articulation, but against hollowness, finish and getting past those...

It's been pretty obvious for a while that some kind of edict has come down to try and save money by trying to crush all sprue sizes to a standard size, which is resulting in some bizarre decisions about the plastic colour items are cast in aside from the needs for different types of plastic...

I have Cyclonus in hand. Tolerances aren't as good as the Kingdom version but it's not a disaster. Won't be applying the stickers. Stickers look awful. He's suitably dark in hand but I think he might be a shade more plum than the original toy (granted, just off the top of my head, I haven't dug...

I imagine the main third party accessories will be fillers for Leo's cannons and biceps, and covers for the inside of Saber's arms. Which it's a bit annoying is required in such an expensive toy tbh.

I think this nominally looks better but... I passed on the original unless it hits steep discount, and it's starting to (I've even seen a UK chain clearing him out at £8.99 already on FB). So there's no way I'd pay an exclusive markup for a bit of camo pattern. I suspect this and Springer...
