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…

It appears as a section on their site that sells items that appeal to fans of different properties and fandoms. Marvel Legends usually has a couple of items listed and one has just been revealed.

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…

A Diamond Select Toys release! The heroes in a half-shell are back, for an all-new box set of 2-inch Minimates! This time, the set captures five classic 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon characters – Donatello, April, Shredder, Bebop and a Foot Soldier – in a slipcover box set, depicting the iconic Turtle Blimp from…

Marvel Legends Wednesday Livestream Reveals

Yesterday, the Hasbro team had their livestream showing off new items in the line. The bulk off what was shown focused on a wave based on the upcoming Disney+ series, Marvel ‘What If?’. These might be a bit spoilery if you want to go in fresh to the show, but if you’ve seen the trailer,…

Hasbro Reveals New Shattered Glass Jetfire

I’m not much of a Shattered Glass fan. I like the classic versions of the Transformers teams that I grew up watching in the 80’s. This new Shattered Glass Jetfire though will have me rethinking my stance on them. In most canon, Jetfire starts off sympathetic to the Decepticon cause. In the original G1 series…

Super7 Reveals Their New Silverhawks Ultimates Line

The 80’s had a bunch of great action cartoons for kids. Transformers, Thundercats, G.I. Joe and Masters of the Universe are the most popular that come to mind. But there are more. Like Silverhawks. SilverHawks was an animated television series developed by Rankin/Bass Productions in 1986, intended as a space-based equivalent of their previous series,…

Hasbro Kicks Off Joe June With New Reveals

Throughout the month of June, Hasbro will be doing livestreams and doing reveals of upcoming products in the G.I. Joe Classified Series line. This is cool and all, but given the way distribution has been handled at retail, I am cautious about getting excited about what they are revealing. Maybe things will be different. We…

Return Now: To The Age of Apocalypse Legends Wave 2

Looking at comment sections for Age of Apocalypse Legends figures was kind of hit or miss. Some people loved the storyline focused figures(me), but a lot of people didn’t care for the designs. They are a product of the time. The original story happened in 94-95, so it’s to be expected that they might not…

Hasbro Reveals New Transformers Selects Artfire

I’m not sure why Artfire is a thing. Almost everytime there is a new mold for Grapple/Inferno, there is a special release for Artfire. Now, don’t get me wrong. The color deco of the bot is nice. I think the problem I have with this character is that he’s a character from the Targetmaster/Headmaster era…

Hasbro Reveals New Nanotech Infinity Gauntlet

When you see the headline, you’re probably thinking, “Didn’t Hasbro already release a Nanotech Infinity Gauntlet?” You would be correct, they did. This, however is the Ironman armor version. The first was Hulk sized. Thus version should fit nicely under your shirt or hoodie. The primary difference between this Gauntlet and the last is the…

Marvel Monday: Hasbro Reveals New Infinity Saga Surtur

Last week Hasbro announced several new releases in their Infinity Saga line that, honestly, I didn’t care to cover. They revealed two new two-packs with only two of the four characters revealed being new to the line. These were Happy Hogan and Endgame Captain Marvel. They also revealed another Ironman figure. Of the two sets,…

War for Cybertron: Kingdom Battle Across Time Official Images

Yesterday Hasbro sent over images of their new two-pack in the Kingsom line, Battle Across Time featuring Mirage and Grimlock. This version of Grimlock looks like it uses the Dinobot body mold. Not sure why they didn’t use the Beast Wars Megatron mold, but for scale purposes, I suppose this works. Mirage looks largely unchanged…
