If you’re looking for good photos of this toy,um, sorry. I don’t have a good photo setup at the moment, but I hope to change that in the future. Enjoy these official press photos, won’t you? Review sample provided by Hasbro and Hunter PR. When Hasbro announced that there would be a follow-up to last year’s Comic Con Kreon exclusive set, I got giddy. While I’m not a huge collector of Kreons, I understand their appeal. I also can get behind themed sets that are just fun, if not completely goofy. The Yearbook Kreon sets are just that – whimsical

The Case for a The Black Series 6″ Mara Jade
Look, I know I don’t usually cover Star Wars figures, I know I have BotCon info to put up, and I know I am not even part of the polling process, but I need to get this out there. The only character you should vote for in the Star Wars 2015 Fans’ Choice Poll is Mara Jade. I admit that I’m biased. My wife is a huge Mara fan. But honestly, there is no better choice for the winner, simply because this is the best opportunity. I know the 6″ The Black Series line is missing a lot of iconic

Thanks to the fine people at Hasbro and Hunter PR, I was given Quickslinger and Brake-Neck early so that I could get time with them to give you, valued ASM reader, my thoughts. However, life as a parent means things don’t go to plan. I will sadly have to postpone my reviews of these toys until later (I hope to do a full breakdown over the next few weeks), but that being said, I do want to share some quick thoughts: You know you’re going to want to buy these. For the G1 “purist”, you need these toys to make

When Hasbro first showed the Combiner Wars Superion and Menasor, many fans lamented the loss of Slingshot and Wildrider. However, Hasbro is bringing these characters to our shores (much like Takara Tomy will do for Japan)… although trademark loss means each has a new name. So meet Brake-Neck and Gunslinger! In the upcoming weeks, we will learn which online stores will stock them in May.

Today, Hasbro revealed that the new theme for its Transformers Generations line is “Combiner Wars”. In other words, it’s Scramble City updated to today’s design aesthetic and playability. Holy ****. Today, they unveiled Menasor and Superion, two of gestalt combiners from Generation 1. Some of the names are different, some of the alt modes have changed, but holy crap, these look great. The Stunticons look slightly different but damn if the Aerialbots don’t look like their robot modes stepped right out of the cartoon. And upcoming Legends figures will be able to interact as weapons and armor. Jeez, just take my money. Motormaster is a
