Our initial
news report about the return
KB Toys discussed the intention of bringing back a beloved name which this time around would employ a competitive and sustainable business model resistant to the financial errors made by its predecessor – and

PlayCon. Among the highlights: – 300-400 KB pop up stores will open during the 2018-19 holiday season as a quick way to test each market, while the best performing of those pop ups will be reviewed in early

Thanks to

The interview with Boulder Media CEO Robert Cullen, also states the following: “Since then, all of Boulder Media’s 2D animation productions have been done in Toon Boom Harmony. This partnership reached new heights after the studio was acquired by Hasbro. When the toymaker and content producer came along, it was looking for a way to consolidate all its animated projects under one roof,

We’ve got word that the next Masterpiece Transformers release is coming this October – and he’s going to be a Sunstreaker redeco.
Planet Iacon reports on this alongside the October releases, calling it “Diaclone Sunstreaker” with the name to be confirmed. However, the listing has the kanji コルドン, which the sharp-eyed have noted comes out as “Korudon” or “Cordon”. We’ve verified this ourselves using Google Translate to translate Cordon into Japanese, and it brings out the same kanji as the listing. What does this mean? Putting the pieces together, there were two different Diaclone Sunstreakers – the red Sunstreaker who

Fretting about getting Power of the Primes Novastar (aka Firestar) with her status as the sole new toy in Hasbro’s Power of the Primes Deluxe Wave 4? Worry not, because Takara-Tomy has you covered. As anticipated, Takara-Tomy will be offering the female Autobot as a part of their Power of the Primes lineup this October. She’s set to be joined by Tailgate, Shrapnel, Inferno, and Alpha Trion (aka Landmine), which importantly shows that Takara-Tomy is also going to be delving into some of Hasbro’s rereleases and mold repurposings which in the past may not have made it to Japan.

Via this listing on Asian marketplace site
TaoBao, we can report that Hasbro Asia are doing a boxed set for the Power of the Primes Dinobots. Well, sort of. What the images seem to show is that the five figures (Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Swoop and Snarl, no Slash here) will come in a big, cube-shaped package with artwork of Volcanicus gracing its side. One of the other images shows the five figures in their existing cards / boxes, so we’re thinking that what this actually represents is the five Dinobots being sold as a set, in their original packaging,

This a fully-licensed, premium finishing and detailed representation of The Last Knight Optimus Prime. It really looks as if he was taken directly from the film. The Autobot leader is standing on a great square base with the Autobot insignia. It seems you will have the option to display him with or without his sword on the back. According to our
first report, this statue will stand 120 cm tall (including the stand) and it will feature light up eyes. According to the <a

We’re back at last with another new gallery update. We’ve still got a few more Dinobots left to showcase, and we’re kicking off with a look at the Power of the Primes version of Slag Slug! The Dinobot triceratops flamethrower is an interesting one. On the one hand, he is a fantastically detailed release, who nicely updates the transformation of the original Dinobot to recreate both modes of the original character, including the “robot head in the mouth of the dino head” that really defined Slag back in Generation 1. As Hasbro advertised, the combining peg is also (mostly) hidden,

While we eagerly await the next episode of Machinima’s Transformers: Power of the
Primes, we share a recent interview with Samoa Joe wherein he discusses his professional wrestling career and the fun he’s having with voicing Predaking. “As a child, I think everybody imitates their favorite cartoon character in some form or another when they’re playing. To find themselves as a grown adult — getting that chance and having it actually become part of that cartoon is a real cool thing.” Read the entire interview
here, then join to the discussion on the 2005 boards!
