It actually doesn’t surprise me. Given the general dynamics of the 70-80s wrestling industry and the nature of the talent, I figure most of the “old generation” probably skewed conservative. Just watching the “Mr MacMahon“ documentary on Netflix, the parallels to Trump were noticeable. And I...

In fairness, the actual toy in actual lighting conditions skews more purple than the renders would indicate: https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/10/19/nycc-2024-hasbro-breakfast-event-photos-524094 It’s not 100% on point to the exact shade of the animation cels you all seem to want…but I think it’s...

The base figure is cool, but why is no one giving props to the TREMENDOUSLY novel integrating of the flight stand? Instead of a useless accessory, the flight stand becomes the cape and a shield. That just so novel I can't help but not love it.

In other words, it got "DBZ'ed" but wasn't popular enough to finish the run :p I watched a few episodes of the original a couple years back when it was on Hulu (my intro to anime was stuff like Robotech, Macross Plus, Blue Seed and other stuff on Starz! Action channel's Saturday night anime...

From retail listings, I know Beachcomber and maybe Devcon, have gotten new runs to alleviate that issue. Given Axlgrease isn't a G1 character, I'm not hopeful for a rerun there.

Hasbro Pulse has preorders up for these two (plus other Walmart stuff). I snagged a couple Bumblebees. What can I say, it's working for me. And I certainly trust Pulse when it comes to a preorder more than frickin' Walmart.

I hear that’s an intentional “loop hole” done by companies to reduce how much they pay per episode/season. Anyway, new season starts next week, and a new trailer dropped: Prowl, the Hate Plague, and Quintessons will be featured this season. Mirage and a new Battle Trailer for Optimus...

Despite a harsh second weekend drop (which is NOTHING compared to Joker’s 81.3% drop off!), TFOne’s starting to stabilize to a more gradual drop, adding three and a half million to bring its current total to $52.8 million. Assuming the film continues its softer slide and sticks around past the...

I guess NOBODY is really going to see this. I know I’m holding out for a home release, between cost concerns (I’ve gone to the actual theater, like 3 times this year, with MAYBE a couple more before next year) and the weak word of mouth. Even your comments, Fero, don’t paint a sterling example...

In general, it feels like Super7 is skewing towards the more stylized comic/cartoon look for the characters rather than Hasbro’s direct recreations of the old toys. I think that “vibe” can extend to vehicles. I know there were a LOT of times in the cartoon where details were streamlined, or the...

I’m not sure I would say DiC would have had “better” animation, but I think it would have been more CONSISTENT on an episode to episode basis than Season 3. Which, granted, probably WOULD have made the series “look” better at an initial glance. That said, I also feel that DiC would never get...

Mattel dropped their previews for the spring 2025 offerings: https://www.toyark.com/2024/10/11/masters-of-the-universe-spring-2025-product-listings-masterverse-origins-and-turtles-of-grayskull-546696 Little overly new, but there were a few Cartoon Collection characters I didn’t know about (Buzz...

Toybook has posted an update concerning the “Retro Reimagined” initiative from TLS and Hasbro. In addition to the vague “and other brands” mention (COPS? Action Man? Maxie? Visionaries? INHUMANOIDS?!), the new article shared news of new management additions. Probably the most notable is that...

Just going to post things here since wentwood made a bunch of different TR adjacent threads… I’m surprised to see Aspyr tackle Angel of Darkness. I recall that game being such a mess, it will be interesting to see why they can do (if any) to make the game more palatable. I think, more than...

Walmart listings are included, probably went live early. I’d bet these weren’t supposed to go up before the CollectorCon garbage they were going to do this week. Given the craptacular luck I’ve had with Walmart’s preorder system…I’m going to take my chances on Hasbro Pulse. Though, barring a...

I actually think they'll make a "generic" Batmobile and not link it to any ONE media representation but a general catch all design, not dissimilar to how Spin Master does its assorted Batmobiles. I'm guessing it'll incorporate influences from Greg Capullo's Batmobile, which is the foundation...

Walmart Retro G1 Deluxe figures have leaked, first two are Bumblebee and Gears: https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/10/10/walmart-retro-g1-gears-bumblebee-first-look-523478 They are skewing to toy deco, and dammit if it has taken Hasbro 3 attempts to get an almost perfect toy Bumblebee from that...

Aspyr is continuing its trend of refreshing titles of yesteryear with a refreshed version of Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles. The best Episode 1 game that didn't involve podracing or Legos, it is a classic belt scroller with a splash of platforming. Aspyr's version will seemingly be based on the...

My vibe on what could have happened? It’s important to remember that the entire reason DiC did GI Joe was because they gave Hasbro a fantastic production deal (I’ve heard it described as “DiC practically paying Hasbro to make the series”). That goes a LONG way to explaining why GI Joe always...

They came for the hurricane, but are keeping busy with all the tornados. This is a live stream from Max Velocity, covering the tornado(!) threat through central/eastern Florida, before landfall of a category 4/3 hurricane later tonight. At the time I'm posting this, there are 13(!) active...
