Hmmm, I literally just finished parsing the audio from that "No Place Like Springfield" 2-parter last night. I will definitely get one. However, it will feel like a waste if we never get a Mara figure to pair with Shippy. She's the part that makes him *want* to believe it's real, even if she...

At this point, it's nothing new. I have a list as long as my arm of personalities I used to like that ended up with lefty-syndrome. I can't disown them all. I just have to compartmentalize and try to just see them for the things we agree on.

I love Dan Larson and Toy Galaxy. I missed his political turn. That's unfortunate. His toy videos are pretty great. He clearly loves toys and these properties the way us children of the 80s do.

I think the pics are just AI guesstimates, as that's par for the course for most of these info-video guys these days. Haven't seen anything that I thought was a leaked official pic. Yeah, he might be right. I think a MkII would certainly sell, especially since a lot of people didn't get a v1...

The guy in the know at TFW just yesterday threw cold water on the Vamp Mk II idea... Someone wished for a tan Clutch in retros, and he said that they'd likely reserve that for if/when VAMP2 got made and that a tweaked green version was more likely for retro. That didn't sound like someone who...

You know how transformers are categoried by "class", i.e. legends class, deluxe class, voyager class, leader class... This is what they often describe as "divorce class"...

I think she got more lines because she became the de facto question-asker and wall to bounce stuff off of. She's the reason the main character goes into exposition mode. Whether the male lead was Duke, Flint, Shipwreck, or someone else, she is right there asking "What does it mean?", "I don't...

Sure, but I think LJ is a badass who happens to be really attractive and can use it when needed. In theory that's CG's schitck, but the toon always gave LJ those roles. Retaliation did too. So I would like her to get the glamor treatment in a figure. Not exaggerated or super-cheesecake...

Eh, I've never been overly concerned about battlefield realism in my Joe. Sure, I don't want it to drift too far into the goofy sci-fi realm, but not once have I ever wished for my Joes to be kitted out with body armor, kneepads, shinguards, or modern helmets. I mean, the representative marine...

I just hope it conditions them to allow a little more something.... I really want the eventual Lady Jaye v2 to show a little cleavage. Not a crazy exaggerated or pervy amount, just a little. She was always the sexiest of the joe females, and we need a figure that isn't buttoned up like a nun...

Sure, J Scott Campbell's artwork is extra-cheesecake, but there's no reason they couldn't be adapted for a more sensible classified look. But I'd still not want them to be flat... I know hasbro is allergic to cleavage, but a little va-va-voom in an online-only collector's release wouldn't kill...

Folks in the know claim she's not going to have Pam Anderson flotation devices... but personally I'll be surprised if she's not wearing khaki shorts and a baby blue sleeveless, merely with a slightly more "realistic" (in Joe terms) physique. I assume the general vibe will be more like recent TR...

Lara Croft in Classified, anyone? It appears this is real. Honestly, as a one-off, I have no problem with this... will probably get one. I think this fits far more than MASK, ROM, TF, Visionaries, or any of the other Hasbro-verse things they try to shoehorn Joe into. I can at least envision...

Not mine, but it's fun and reasonably well done. I would have skipped the uber-practical stuff and gone with overlays for muzzle flashes, smoke, and explosions, but I respect the effort. Mostly I love the use of the o-ring figures, as those still resonate with me.

Every time I see an SS86 constructicon at the store, I have to convince myself that... "NO, I DON'T COLLECT CHUG... I have plenty of Devastators already"... because they just look like good, fun, toony transformers. When he was younger, my son collected / played with Combiner Wars era TFs, and...
