We just realized we’ve talked about the Transformers Studio Series The Transformers: The Movie Coronation Starscream twice. Why? I have no idea. Anyway, that Starscream is not a great toy, btw. I had it. It was essentially a retool of the Earthrise Starscream, which isn’t great to begin with, IMHO. […]
Hasbro has perfected a way to openly take your money twice for the same product. That’s right, my friends, I’m talking about the ol’ retool/repaint. But here’s the thing: Hasbro doesn’t just do repaint/retool out of thin air. The toymaker almost always bases them on cartoons or comics, and in […]
Well, it looks like Optimus Prime and Starscream won’t be the only bots chugging coal and blowing steam anymore. Joining them in the brass-and-cogs club are none other than Megatron and his pint-sized headache of an Autobot, Bumblebee. Pulled from IDW’s Transformers: Hearts of Steel comic miniseries, these two are […]
In this installment of milking the mold, Hasbro has revealed the Transformers Studio Series Energon Universe Optimus Prime transforming action figure. You are not seeing things. It looks like the much-lauded Transformers Studio Series Commander Class The Transformers: The Movie 86-31 Optimus Prime has been given a retool to become […]
Funny how in the Marvel Universe, Wolverine has existed since the 1800s, but toys featuring him as a soldier, mercenary, and as a test subject of the Weapon X program are far and few between. Well, it looks like the executives over at Hasbro realized this void, and so, here […]
Can you believe it? LEGO DC Batman is turning 20 next year, in 2026. But like how the Danish toymaker celebrated 25 years of LEGO Star Wars last year with a barrage of sets revealed a year before, it has revealed the latest additions to the LEGO DC Batman collection […]
Christmas has come early this year—or at least LEGO thinks so. The Danish brick masters have officially gone full festive mode with three holly-jolly sets now on shelves: the LEGO Up-Scaled Santa Minifigure, the LEGO Icons Holiday Express Train, and the LEGO Icons Family Christmas Tree Decoration. Together, they form […]
We have not talked about Triumph Motorcycles for the longest time, and boy, the portfolio has sure grown since. The legendary British motorcycle maker got our attention recently because it has finally dabbled in electric drive. But before you go ga-ga over it, it is not for you; it is […]
When the news of a CaDA Suzuki Hayabusa building set broke, I knew I had to check it out in person because Hayabusa is not just any motorcycle. It single-handedly redefined what a production motorcycle could be with advanced engineering, including a massive 1,299cc inline-four engine, and it was the […]
Two new models have joined the Mattel Brick Shop, but they are not surprisingly sold out. But not all hopes are lost; we will tell you where you can still pre-order them in a bit. So yeah, Mattel Brick Shop has dropped two new models: the Mattel Brick Shop Hot […]
Chinese brick-building toy maker CaDA is seriously on a roll—especially in the model toy cars department. Joining iconic cars like the Audi R8 Coupe, Maserati GT2, Fiat 131 Abarth, the Mazda 787B (#18), Citroën C4 WRC, and more, are two more legends of their time: the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo […]
