New! The Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Deluxe Swerve is so good, the fact that mine had a piece left out doesn't have me railing against it. Yes, it's a Gears retool and yes, they left a metal pin out of the left shoulder of the one you'll see in this review. But the articulation? Very good. The colors? Vibrant. The character model? Arguably from a fan's animation model, misinterpreted from one episode of the cartoon, but at least it's interesting if incorrect. I assume we'll get more Swerves anyway, because we got more than one Gears. If you're a fan of the character from the comics, this isn't that - but it's close enough that I'm happy to have an update of one of the later minicars. Read on!

Not new! Mattel He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Cartoon Collection Man-at-Arms Action Figure would be a great figure to have on shelves right now, as people are curious about the new movie and thinking about He-Man in general. Duncan has a stasis ray, a club, and a sculpt that looks a lot like the original cartoon squirted through the wide 5 1/2-inch figure format. Just imagine how cool these would look with "core" movie proportions! Ah well. It's still a great figure, just not cheap anymore - get it if you can find one. Read on!

Posted 10 years ago! More than a little unnecessary, Hasbro Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Wreck-Gar was a clever reuse of a mold that probably could just as easily have been a new guy, or a G2 recolor. For Junkion fanatics I'm sure it's semi-beloved, but the secondary market prices for this figure say "meh." It's cheap if you want one, so that's good news. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Scarce! Blokees Transformers Defender Version 06 Brutal Fang BW-Megatron Special Armor Type Action Figure is the first super-duper chase I've found. It has a lot of extra paint, a hand blaster, and a blast effect. It's pretty spectacular - I kind of wish they'd just sell these at a higher price, fans would shell out for DX Defender Blokees. You'll want one of these. Read on, and come back Monday for more!

RecenOldt! The Playmobil "Fi?ures" Figures Cherry Blossom Woman has a pink kimono plus an umbrella with - you guessed it - cherry blossoms. It's not a terribly complex figure, but the paint on her outfit and accessory make her stand out in the line. Does she have an obvious place to go in my toy boxes and/or shelves? Not really. But she was cheap, and she looks cool.

His actual insides! The Super7 Spinal Tap Nigel Tufnel ReAction Figure is a superbly neat figure, but it's also showing up at Ross for $4.99. As such, he's totally worth the asking price. The shirt is from the movie, the guitar is from later specials, and they did a nice job making it over at Super7. It's worth picking up.

A few years ago, there was some fuss made over someone having the trademarks for the store - and then nothing came of it. This is actually kind of interesting, and not a bad idea of what you can do with an old license. And if you're under 20, KB Toys (or Kay-Bee Toy and Hobby) was a leading mall toy shop in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.

New! The Hasbro Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Devastation Bumblebee Action Figure is a widely-available toy for 2026 with a decent robot mode and a decent car mode. I found the car mode sort of locks in place, as the head gets stuck and I needed tools to be able to pry it back out. I didn't really enjoy the experience very much, but the design is decent. If you don't plan to transform this figure, it's decent. Read on!

It has two little controllers and a cartridge for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and some cool Easter Eggs inside the build. It even says Mega Drive on the box to placate you non-Americans out there. Why now? I have no idea - the original console came out in America in 1989, so this doesn't really seem to line up with any particular global launch-iversary. I wasn't planning on buying it, but it does say 16-bit on it, so... who knows.

Newish! Mattel He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Cartoon Collection King Randor Action Figure is an online exclusive, and I've noticed the crowns seem to be a little off-center. Well, that's not perfect. It's still a brightly-colored figure that looks like the cartoon, so consider hunting this one down in stores so you can find the best possible head. I like it. I do wish it was a little better in its assembly, though. Read on!

Posted 10 years ago! Easily the best version of the character to date, Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Trap Jaw even has the fly swatter arm. That's as good as this kind of thing gets - hopefully you got one. The Origins figures never included the swatter, so you're left to 3D print one that won't color match. Maybe they'll make one down the road - I can hope! Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!
