M.A.S.K. Blind Bag Variants Available Now

The newest addition to the Energon Universe, M.AS.K., was released today, and in celebration Skybound, alongside the regular releases and variants, they are releasing blind bag variants. There are three different comics you could possibly get in the bags, only one of which is actually M.A.S.K.#1. Normally, I wouldn’t buy a blind bag but I…

The Decepticons are Stuntin On Them! G2 Menasor Preorder Now Live

I almost completely missed the G2 era of Transformers. The only portion I remember is the rerelease of the original series with the animatronic Optimus and the little kid. I never saw any of the toys on the shelves, but I also was more into TMNT around that time. If I had looked, I would…

Squadron Supreme! Hasbro Reveals Hyperion/Doctor Spectrum Two-pack

Time to start a new team! Today Hasbro has revealed their new two-pack with Hyperion and Doctor Spectrum. Hyperion previously had a figure released years back in the Hulkbuster wave(?) I think. The figure was pretty bulky and has a cape that is a bit too long. This new mold is a bit more streamlined…

Yesterday the Hasbro Marvel Legends team took to Instagram Live to reveal some upcoming products you’re going to want. The reveals were spread across all the sublines, not focusing on any one in particular. First up, Sharon Carter. Everyone thought for sure we were going to get a reveal for an MCU She-hulk, seeing as…

Marvel Legends Thor: Love & Thunder Official Images

Today the trailer for the upcoming Thor: Love & Thunder film was released. While I am excited for the film, my excitement isn’t the same for the figures. I’m not same they look bad! In fact, they look quite good. I’m just not much of a MCU Legends collector unless they are on clearance. This…

Today Hasbro’s G.I. Joe team had their livestream showing new Joe products for the 40th anniversary of the line. In addition to the figures, a new card/figurine game was shown.

Hasbro Transformers Fan First Friday 2/4/2022! New Studio Series ’86 Reveals!

My Transformers collecting has slowed immensely in recent years. I collected quite a few of the initial wave of Siege figures, but I didn’t really get a lot of Earthrise or Kingdom figures. The figures were good, but with the rising cost of things, Transformers purchases became less frequent for me. I mainly picked up…

Mattel Reveals New MOTU Origins Subline, Rulers of the Sun

I am really enjoying the MOTU Origins line. It has a nice mix of nostalgia and modern tooling that makes displaying them really fun. I have found myself buying doubles as well to keep mint on card. They are just too fun not to open, but I like having them in package as well. Mattel…

Been a while since the last update! Hopefully, this the first of many to get things back on track. Anyway, today was the second day of Hasbro’s PulseCon. PulseCon is their virtual convention revealing next year’s upcoming releases. Today was the day for the Marvel Legends team to reveal their offerings. Next year marks the…

Marvel Legends X-force Three-Pack Images and Info

When Hasbro first released the first Deadpool wave with a classic Cable figure, i thought it would be great to complete that team. The wave also had a modern version of Domino, but it used the less than desirable Mockingbird body mold. Later Hasbro put out an X-force wave that included Sunspot and Cannonball with…

Marvel Legends Retro Fantastic Four Wave Images and Pre-order Info

Yesterday the Hasbro Marvel Legends team had a livestream revealing new products and preorders. Specifically, they revealed a new wave of retro figures based on the Fantastic Four. Dedicating an entire wave to the Fantastic Four and limiting it to six figures seems like a missed opportunity. We’ve technically received two Fantastic Four waves already….
