Predictable? Yes. Stunning? Absolutely. The new cassettes make these essential. Never would have called them doing Cybertronian Laserbeak.

My pals sure did get me some interesting gifts to make up for me buying the toys that they had just bought for my birthday. I love these weirdos.

This set of combining Transformers GO! figures were meant to be photographed & passed amongst TF photographers to see what they could do with them. However, when they got to me, I put them in a box, stopped taking photos of toys & totally forgot about them. To whoever passed them on to me... 1/2

Just realised, this new transformation isnt miles away (in principle) from G1 Trailbreaker and Inferno. I think it feels G1 enough, just with the mandatory added articulation.

I bet all these folks saying they dont like ML Ironhide are gonna fold the minute they see him lined up with the other ML toys.

Actually was thinking this the other day. I coined the term 'Catsun' to be used rather than Datsun in this case.

Really wish Nemesis came with his own Dianaughts, but these will do nicely.

Flabbergasted that InDemand Toys has managed to get Missing Link Nemesis Prime delivered to me in the most record of record times. This thing is gorgeous in hand. So happy I didnt skip this one.

I absolutely, 100% believe that the lightsaber with the new SS86 Hot Rod is a direct homage to the original 1978 inflatable lightsaber toy.

QUEEN WORLD CUP #QueenWorldCup If it helps sway your vote for I’m In #Love With My Car, instead of A #Kind Of Magic, then have the Spinal Tap-level story of its release. (H/t co-commentary from @wilsonjim.bsky.social)

Screengrab from Wikipedia telling the story of Roger Taylor locking himself in a cupboard until the other members of Queen agreed it could be the b-side of Bohemian Rhapsody, thus getting equal royalty money.

its pretty funny that everyone is speculating ML Hubcap might happen based on his appearance the comic strip in the latest Generations book. Well, designs for the toy are straight up in the back of the same magazine. Somehow I missed this the first time around...
