Good day, like every day, to not collect SS86

Lol @ Missing Link Soundwave prices Lmao even

I weirdly have total faith in this. I joked that after Barbie and MOTU, Mattel was going to find a way to make me feel something with a Hot Wheels movie. Portentous words

Hahahaha, this fucking trailer. ACTION! SECRET AGENTS! EXPLOSIONS! (also, Matchbox cars are a thing btw) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEzS...

AOTP Monstructor arrived and he's a TF of the year for me for sure. Past several years even.

He's bringing the storm. #Transformers #Thunderwing

I really feel like Cyberworld and Wild King are toss ups. I know Hasbro territory people are looking hungrily at these elbow joints, but the wild designs and interactivity of Cyberworld looks so fun

THE LEGENDS FORETOLD

If you're still waiting for them to add elbows to toys they're not going to, you're missing out on a lot of fun here

Hasbro: Pink girlbots just don't sell in the kids' lines Also Hasbro: Continues to push pink Elita-1 and Arcee designs everywhere, something no one is forcing them to do

Stop doing superhero landings with your Optimi Start doing the G2 San Francisco

Also since I don’t think I did it for this one yet, here’s Cyberverse/Authentics Optimus doing the San Fran

People being mad about George Lucas being pro-gen AI is like people being mad about Todd McFarlane being pro-gen AI, which is to say it sucks, but it's yelling at the scorpion while you drown

"I come in peace"

Hi, it's me. I'm the tabs on the Legacy Skids mold's knees, and my sole purpose is to ensure the roof doesn't sit flush

This being how gun-Megatron returns is certainly a suprise!

How about we lose ourselves in a world of fantasy for ONCE? Cyberworld toys are back - still have no elbows - and are more Schelichy than ever! youtu.be/umi__6isse0 #TRDQ

Lindsey Graham isn't alive to see your posts celebrating his death but the other sycophantic homophobic war hawks you know will. Think about how this will affect them before you post and then post it anyway.

I can't really speak to where Skybound Transformers has wound up, but that's mostly because I felt like I was watching it squander an explosive and refreshing first twelve issues just after they ended, and I have not been particularly swayed to reconsider

This cover did not make me want to look at the issue inside and this book DESPERATELY needs a new writer.

Not saying either is a perfect or wholly awful or anything, but Mattel's motto being "Empowering generations through play" while Hasbro's is "We're not a toy company" or whatever really does feel some kinda way

Wild King giving us the first year of a Transformers line in ... ever, to feature no Cybertrons or Destrons in the era of forever-G1 is honestly pretty (ahem) wild.

"You couldn't make Wild, Wild West today" Who cares. You couldn't make the '80s She-Ra episode "Book Burning" today, because a generation raised on children's media that treated antifascist parables as uncontroversial common ground went on to take the wrong lessons into adulthood. that's way sadder

Something I keep seeing with TF fans: "I miss auto-morphing. I miss mechanical gimmicks. I miss electronics, etc..." Me: Have you been collecting the kids' lines "No, why would I do that"

Impromptu desk setup

How did the She-Ra theme not go down with Transformers and Turtles as an all-time, pop-culture osmosis '80s cartoon theme song? It is unbelievably good.

Sorry sorry

If you didn't have an opinion about trans athletes before Republicans engineered a moral panic within the last few years, and you do now, no you fucking don't.

...sorry

Mainline Prime Changer TF One Sentinel is/was/has always been a very good TF. Kind of the platonic ideal even.

I have gotten my first MOTU Masterverse figures in (New Etheria Hordak and Sun-Man; Dragstor, She-Ra, and Adora/Despara on the way), which is also my first experience with an adult-oriented action-figure in general, coming from a TF background. It is fun. It is also just, straight, up, a doll.

Wild King W remains unopened because a mass of MOTU stuff I bought with it arrived simultaneously, also this is a MOTU account now I'm so sorry (It's not, but holy heck is the ratio of good media for the property, I'm finding, about a thousand times higher than TFs'. It's not fair.)

Was reading over TF pricing conversations. And, yes, I do think Generations is a pretty bad value proposition right now, which is why I'm mainly kids' lining and high-ending.
