The RiD Optimus Primal (Blast Attack?) had fully articulated hands, too, and a poorly-placed window in the box. I can't tell you how many of those things were flipping me the bird when I went down the aisles at ToysRUs.

I mean, that tracks with my experiences hunting one, but the question in my mind is, unless that wave had a much, much lower production run than any other (and I guess that's possible if orders didn't materialize, but why that wave?), where did the product go? Hasbro isn't going to sit on it, so...

I've been hoping to find an Axlegrease, because they never showed up around here at regular retail. Wouldn't mind an extra Crashbar and Detritus cheep, though.

Started watching the Patlabor TV series with Haywire3 recently; it's got action, it's got comedy, it's got large, awesome-looking robots, he's loving it! (I HATED the dub when I first watched this, still not my favorite, but it's growing on me...) Only problem is, apparently his favorite...

I often forget that Hooligan is one of my favorite Decepticons, but Hooligan is one of my favorite Decepticons! (The figure is pretty legit as is, but it would be cool to see the Cyberjets get an updated release)

That's interesting, and I didn't remember that. And, yes, prices have gone up and Super7 is a smaller company and less able to bear those increases. I still contend that $600 is a pretty big ask for an initial offering. Heck, $600 is a big ask for a Haslab, and they have a known track record of...

At this point, I'm a little surprised they don't just come with alternate heads. We already know the molds are usually pre-tooled with at least one, and a few of the multi-pack releases came with extra heads. Unless the heads are able to be gated off during molding, the material costs are...

I agree, I do think the Mothership failing to fund probably forced them to take a step back and re-evaluate. I personally think that $600 was a pretty big ask right out the gate with no prior vehicle offerings to compare to for quality. If they had led up to it with smaller vehicles so people...

So, spinning off of the discussion and general dissatisfaction with the Super7 Transformers Ark "Playset" (it's really a display stand) over in the Transformers forum, I thought I would discuss more Joe-related stuff here. 1) It seems like Hasbro is pretty much just doing Classified for their...

I have both of those, and somehow managed to get all the peripheral stuff to "complete" the set. The Weather Dominator is a little iffy at staying together (which kinda tracks), but the cool thing is the base of the M.A.S.S. device was made to hold the Weather Dominator instead to make it more...

I pretty much just buy ReAction from Super7: Godzilla, because they push my nostalgia button for the old Trendmasters 4" versus packs. They are decent representations of the kaiju at that scale. GI Joe, (somewhat) for unique characters (Raven the Stratoviper and Tiger Force Shipwreck) and...

I guess I'm not too surprised. Super7's niche is kind of doing figures nobody else does; their non-figure offerings are sort of...less than stellar. And anything very large has been crowdfunded. But, yeah, calling this Ark backdrop a playset is a bit of a stretch. Maybe if it had some extra...

Knight Rider Becames Robert! (Not my pic. I have one, just not handy for a photo shoot....)

Hi! Welcome to the Allspark!

I managed to find a Netflix Bee, but I may get a retro Bee and paint one up as Red Bumblebee.

There's also that Fox Sports Football robot. Maybe they start with that and work out a suitable altmode? Kinda like the Goodyear blimp or actual football ideas, myself.

I would put my money on the '89 Batmobile, just because of the 80's property synergy. However, don't forget the '66 Batmobile. It's nearly as iconic and fondly remembered, and could provide some interesting body pieces to integrate into a robot mode.

So, Triple-T Kup just hit my Pile of Loot at BBTS, and I'm pretty excited for this one. I had Sgt Slaughter and the Triple-T when I was a kid, and so this is the first GI Joe x TF crossover I've splurged and paid full price for. (Got HISS Megatron and AWE Striker Bumblebee on deep clearance...

Oh, I absolutely agree (though I have gotten behind on actually reading the issues I've been collecting, i did manage to get through the first arc), the story is better-written for sure, and they do seem to remember who all these characters are, but the action sequences are violent and...
