I would have waited an eternity (39 years) for this

Pride of place, mate

I still adore these sketches by @nickroche.bsky.social

I swear some episodes of Undercover Boss are filmed in a parallel universe. It'll be a frozen yoghurt company who have 2000 branches and turn over half a billion dollars, and you've never heard of them.

Haha, really?

Yeah, totally Hasbro's response to the popularity of Monsters I My Pocket, imo.

I just love that they named a character after Ronald Reagan's wife after Wreck Gar quoted him.

How about Missing Link Junkion Nancy?

I saved this comment online, but the cloudburst.

My eyes went all Bugly when I saw how Sky High the prices were for the US Pretenders, hardly Groundbreaking toys but I was still happy to see these last two Splash down. My bank balance is looking a bit Fin, back to work for me! Iguanus.

Hasbro mockup only, never made into production. They tested the waters in the reissue era (2003ish) but they still couldn't get this approved for release.

Okay, haven't stopped thinking about how this could work as a play pattern

Attributes: zombie Pikmins briefly animate dead Pikmin. Pumpkin can plant and produce more Pikmin on the battlefield. Skeleton Pikmin, tough and poisonous. Ghost Pikmin work against you, so don't be reckless.

Nice pick-ups from the In-Demand Toys sale

DiaBrave Sid - 40th Best TF collection in Europe @diabrave.bsky.social · 1d

Okay, a Halloween themed mini-Pikmin would rock!

Agreed. They're good representations.

No substitute for the real thing though. A two hour snapshot cannot compete with the great runs than span years (and decades)

Saw Fantastic Four yesterday.

I like all 3, but I still VASTLY prefer the medium of comics over movies or TV for all 3 properties.

Last Ronin II

I've been looking forward to this

DiaBrave Sid - 40th Best TF collection in Europe @diabrave.bsky.social · 4d

Made a great base mold for something much better...

And they're serious business to me, which is why I bought all the eHobbies back in the esrly 2000s!

The cassettes are cool, but, man, I detest Balvintron.

I also much prefer Stripes with the proper weapons, like the Encore.

Finally, Action Master Soundwave gets a Superior vehicle

Yeah, but that involves going into a whole other room and opening my laptop.

This why I can't read DMs right now... don't trust any of them.

Two of my favourite reissues of all time

Meister Gold version (Jazz) and Streak Silver Mekki version based on early Diaclone campaign prizes
