I’m placing even odds on Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor as being the next HasLab. Especially after “Star Optimus Prime” seemed to drop all the design references at some point.

Ollies is taking an additional 40% off of Action Figures. Probably still trying to clear out all that Black Panther and Star Wars ARchive figures. Good until December 24

These will be cheaper than getting the CW or UW versions on the secondary market?

Yeah, between a significant bulk of new stuff hitting Pulse this time of year and the general congestion of the shipping industry for this time of year, things might take a little longer. I just got a request to review for my Classified 88 Storm Shadow…despite it not having arrived yet (then...

Earlier interviews indicated he was looking more towards the Silver Age of comics and All Star Superman (itself a love letter to much of the silver age type stories). In that context, Krypto and the giant monster are definitely the kinds of things the Silver Age Superman stories would lean into.

Blacktron’s coming back, bitches! https://toybook.com/new-legos-blacktron-renegade-set/

Guy Gardner is basically the “aggressive asshole” Green Lantern. One of his most famous interactions during the initial run of Justice League International saw him challenging Batman to a fight (sans power ring) over leadership. Batman takes him out in a single punch and the rest of league...

Following a prior tease, the first trailer for Superman (with Legacy terming seemingly dropped) has been posted. Due July 11, 2025, the film marks the first major release of the brand new DC film universe under the direction of James Gunn. Reportedly, Gunn's major influence on the film comes...

I just got a notice for Armada Wheeljack preparing to ship. I've still yet to see Wave 4 deluxes at retail, and we'll see how well distributed wave 5 gets before the change over to Age of the Primes.

Next year marks the 30th Anniversary of Batman Forever! To celebrate, Spin Master is releasing a small collection exclusively to Target next month. Featuring 5” (!?) low articulation figures inspired by Kenner’s extensive 1995 product line and the iconic Batmobile. The single figure selection...

Figure a thread is in order now that a full trailer has dropped. Exodus is a grand scifi RPG in development at Archetype Entertainment. Archetype was established in 2019 by Wizards of the Coast for AAA game development in Austin, Texas, with much of its key staff hailing from Bioware. Studio...

Yeah, that Mega Man episode left me with mega-blue balls with it being so short. (Also, bad on them for not crediting the Japanese music staff for the Mega Man music. Almost as bad as Grant Kirkhope's snub in the Super Mario Movie for his DKC work).

Another new Epic World Venomversus toy popped up on Amazon (on sale even!): A ten-ish inch Hulkbuster Mech with an included "stealth-ish" Iron Man figure. Features an "repulsor firing" hand. Again, no notice from anywhere, it just showed up, it seems...

Figured this was the best place for this information, but retailer listings have started to crop up for Swapticons. Retailing for $7.99-ish, according to JtPrime, they will be little 2 packs where the two robots merge into some sort of vehicle mode. No images, yet. JtPrime's comment: Links...

The best part of the Game Awards…and they did NOT hold back

From what I heard at the time (the “He Tell Me” crowd) was that GI Joe was doing fine. IF anything, GI Joe ended up doing a bit “better” than Transformers in 2004, simply by virtue of not having PILES of overstock clogging down the line for most of the year. GI Joe was clearly doing well...

FYI, Walmart has nearly ALL of their Night Force exclusives on markdown as part of a Christmas sale. Tunnel Rat was about $10 Shooter was about $15 The RAM and Shockwave was $22 and change Lt. Falcon and Quarrel $44-ish.

A week and a half until Christmas and Walmart be blowing stuff out the doors! Be sure to check your other favorite brands, but here’s new markdowns for Transformers: G1 Retro Optimus Prime- $35.24 G1 Retro Bombshell and Ramhorn- $10.08 Star Raider Leader pack- $22.48 (!) Star Raider Filch, Road...

That’s been one of my favorite things about this crossover: it has REALLY allowed the Mattel designers to flex some creative muscle that is all too rare in these legacy brands. My overall enthusiasm dampened considerably after the store exclusive fiascos of this past year, but there are still...

I didn’t realize copying the link at a specific time would do that
