@ehenyo In my eyes, all of this big push since 2020 has been investment into the brand, to reawaken it. It takes a lot to do that. Even this movie, I think Mattel was not necessarily banking on a big…   Read more»

There are a people who dislike him, because of the previous allegations, also Mattel probably doesn’t want those allegations to be brought up during movie marketing.

His voice reminds me a bit of Mark Hamill… It’s all very quick paced and dynamic, it suits the designs. This should be fun. 4 minutes is … short though. But maybe for a YouTube series, it’s the right length….   Read more»

His voice reminds me a bit of Mark Hamill… It’s all very quick paced and dynamic, it suits the designs. This should be fun. 4 minutes is … short though. But maybe for a YouTube series, it’s the right length. It was always intended as an intro, to get to know the characters, not a full length epic. It’s free, too! I think this is a good approach.…Read more

[quote data-userid=”66737″ data-postid=”34904″] Looks like the playset comes with the Throne of Bones and stairs that lead up to it along with the Power Sword altar. So a bit bare bones but also not quite? I think Walmart is going…   Read more»

Very surprisingly, I got my Fright Pit and Expand-Or from Mattel Creations today. I didn’t get a notice from Creations until today, when it was “Out for delivery”. I had only gotten some notices from FedEx for a mystery package, not…   Read more»

Practical and smart. Hey, with the three towers of Eternia, good and evil was also very close! It made more sense as a toy, than if I you tried to trat it too literal.

@smitty-81 Yup, was just added to my pile of loot.

Entertainment Earth has the “Battle…” 4-pack, too, plus all four new 200X Origins figures. So I expect those to arrive with BBTS soon, too. I got Webstor preordered, and Mer Man from the previous wave. Looking forward 🙂

@smitty-81 Watched this earlier. “Takes getting used to”, but like the reviewer says, Ram Man is actually cool. Better than the first pics seemed. Or perhaps we just got used to him 😊  I also agree with him that the partial…   Read more»

Now I know what this reminds me of– the Transformers Animated series, that’s more stylized and not CGI. I’ll definitely check it out, I just hope the eps are not too short. I don’t mind a more humorous tone. It…   Read more»

I’ll definitely check it out, I just hope the eps are not too short. I don’t mind a more humorous tone. It can still be fun adventures.
