Star Wars Review: Senni Tonnika (Cantina - The Vintage Collection)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Senni Tonnika (Cantina - The Vintage Collection). She was near the top of a very short list of figures that it seemed Hasbro (and Kenner) might never make - but here we are! In the 1990s we were hoping for a figure with six joints and now we've got a super-articulated figure with a separately molded wig, a blaster, a glass, and an alternate hand. You can't ask for much more here, other than maybe a reissue for those who skipped out on the HasLab Cantina. Read the whole review.

HasLab 3 3/4-Inch Tron Set Needs Backers

DisneyI'm the Dude, ManVia Hasbro Pulse: TRON: Heroes of the Grid 3.75-Inch Collectors Set is a little slow going at about 1,027 backers.

There are no stretch goals and it has about 32 days left to go. If you're in the market for some Tron stuff, it might be good to get ahead of this one as it doesn't look great for its prospects.

Review: Super7 Devo Booji Boy ReAction Figure

Figure of the DaySuper7 Devo Booji Boy ReAction FigureSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

New! The Super7 Devo Booji Boy ReAction Figure may or may not be the last figure we get. We haven't had any of the drummers yet, and I assume due to most of their no longer being in the band and/or alive there may be likeness issues - so we get Booji Boy! Arguably a great addition for fans of weird looking action figures, this character was Mark Mothersbaugh in a rubber baby mask. It shouldn't be a figure, but here he is, and he turned out well! Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

New Energon Universe Cartoon?

TVThe EndVia Deadline: Energon Universe Adult Animated Series Based On Comic From Hasbro & Skybound With Joe Henderson As Showrunner Hitting TV Marketplace. That doesn't mean it will (or won't) be made, as Mr. Henderson was also tied to a Pokemon live action series which has yet to materialize.

Good or bad, shows like this tend to bring in new (lapsed) fans and help sell a lot of toys. So if it happens, bully for Megatron-armed Optimus Prime sales. There aren't many new opportunities for adults to re-engage with G1-era stuff - they're not really reading all that many comics - so this is potentially good news for getting new people into this before everybody ages out.

New Free Game for Sega Master System

SegaAstro ClimberVia BadComputer: Astro Climber. It's a new Sega Master System game to celebrate its 40th anniversary, and it's a free download. I've been playing it on an old TV and it looks really great. It plays like a number of climbing games, or a reverse Mr. Driller.

There's not much to it, but it's the kind of thing you'd play on an old demo kiosk and really enjoy. Give it a shot, if you have the means to play it.

Star Wars Review: Scout Trooper (Red Tech Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Scout Trooper (Red Tech Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action). The classic deco at stores is being cleared out, but this red "tech" variant has been showing up online. The figure itself is the same, but the bike has some added paint with clear red plastic accessories. It's weird, so I like it - but good luck tracking it down outside online sellers. Read the whole review.

Challenge of the GoBots Remastered on Tubi

TVThe Challenge ContinuesVia Tubi (thanks Trixter for the heads-up): Challenge of the GoBots is on Tubi, one of the many free streaming services you've been ignoring, with what appears to be a very nice remastering. Compared to The Transformers, the animation looks crisp and free of the horrible jaggies which were smoothed out by our CRTs when we watched our old DVDs. You can see the people from Gobotron, which I hadn't thought about much since first watching this show in the 1980s. In the first episode alone you'll hear Rene AbeRenˇ Auberjonois (Odo! Clayton Endicott III!), Brock Peters (Tom Robinson! Joseph Sisko! NPR Darth Vader!), and a bevy of familiar sound effects ripped from Star Wars and Star Trek. And of course Frank Welker as Scooter, doing a voice you've heard as Darwin and many others.

The show looks really good, especially for 1980s toy commercial kidvid. The story, well, there's a reason one toy robot franchise made it and the other didn't despite both debuting the same month in 1984. I'd recommend checking it out - watch an episode of this, then go watch a few seconds of The Transformers. The difference is stark. I don't know if I'm going to watch the entire series, but it was fun to revisit an old Hanna-Barbera cartoon and surprising to see that it looked a heck of a lot better than I remember.

Review: Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Leader G2 Universe Dinobot Snarl and G2 Universe Dinobot Slug

Figure of the DayHasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Leader G2 Universe Dinobot Snarl and G2 Universe Dinobot SlugSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

New! Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Leader G2 Universe Dinobot Snarl and G2 Universe Dinobot Slug brings you two 1990s-style repaints at a pretty decent price, given the modern pricing of these things. They're big, colorful, and have more toy-like decoration that may appeal to people who want to swap out elements with the Studio Series 86 figures. Read on!

Classic Review: Hasbro Transformers Micromasters Overload

Figure of the DayHasbro Transformers Micromasters OverloadSomething new every day-- but this was posted 10 years ago today! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

Posted 10 years ago! From 1989, Hasbro Transformers Micromasters Overload was what kids may have bought when Optimus Prime or Ultra Magnus were out of their price ranges. The cheap small toy could be a truck or a plane with a pilot robot. It was a great idea, and I'd love to see more of this kind of thing. We got something like it this year with Micronus Prime, which I'll be posting about next week. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Transformers Cyberworld Episode 12 on YouTube

TransformersOver the weekend, Hasbro posted the twelfth episode of Transformers Cyberworld on YouTube.

Captain Ron schools some Autobots in a twist anyone who has been to Macy's probably saw coming, as the show introduces the last of the wave 1 guys. I still like the show a lot.

Star Wars Review: Darth Vader (The Journey of Anakin Skywalker - The Vintage Collection)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (The Journey of Anakin Skywalker - The Vintage Collection). He's new, and technically from Ahsoka but also might do as a stand-in for Revenge of the Sith despite the red blade lightsaber. It's a pretty great figure and part of a 3-pack with an Emperor's Wrath Vader and a caped The Clone Wars Anakin. Read the whole review.

I haven't got my order yet so I can't confirm how they are. Previous Onell Design figures and indeed all Glyos figures I've picked up have been (at worst) pretty good - so I can't imagine they'll disappoint.

Figure of the DayMattel He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Cartoon Collection Hordak Action FigureSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

Neat! The Mattel He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Cartoon Collection Hordak Action Figure might be in a store near you - or not, distribution for these guys is kind of weird from store to store. He's basically just Hordak with a big Time Stopper accessory, but the colors match the cartoon and the head sculpt is great. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Star Wars Review: C1-10P (Ahsoka show redeco, Droid Factory)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: C1-10P (Ahsoka show redeco, Droid Factory). It's a repaint of a cartoon toy for a live action show, and it's similar enough that you probably wouldn't miss not having it. The actual prop had some alterations from this design, but it's probably one of those "close enough" things that you wouldn't mind having nor would you miss not having. Assuming you had other Disney or Hasbro Chopper figures, of course. Read the whole review.

Recent! The Blokees Transformers Defender Version 01 Shattered Alliance Optimus Prime Vehicle Action Figure is a little vehicle, and also a little scooter for other little figures. What a great idea! The repair drone serves as a handle, and you can fold it down too. Deco is good, sculpt is nice, price is pretty right on the mark for what you're getting. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!
