Weekly Wrap Up (2025.11.01)

I feel like there was SOMETHING I wanted to ramble about in this little opening bit but I can not for the life of me remember. Fairly busy week at work, but I don't really like to discuss work here much. Toys Big boy Omega Supreme came in. He is big and pretty sweet. Bigger than I expected. I like it, which is good, because at this point I am basically spent on buying for a bit. Especially anything large. Anyway, have some pics, I will try to motivate myself for a more thorough write up later. Nothing else new,…

Transformers X TMNT – Party Wallop

I have lost track of how many of these crossover Transformers we have gotten but it's a pretty neat line that for the most part has been done pretty well. I particularly like that they are mostly original molds. It feels like it would have been easy to just do some mediocre repaints. I suppose making actual meaningful molds was probably part of the deal for getting some of these IPs. The TMNT crossover is pretty good, it's not perfect, but I like it. Party Wallop definitely has the "Ninja Turtle" look in Robot mode, with a few spots of…

Review – Transformers – G1 – Rodimus Prime

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before and chances are you already know, but a while back, Hasbro re-released several of the old G1 toys in commemorative packaging with, unfortunately, commemorative pricing. They ran 30 to 40 dollars each and were exclusive to Toys R Us. A few people bought it, but most didn’t. They made it to clearance and the occasionally discount clearinghouse store. That’s why I picked up Rodimus, sort of. Unlike Perceptor or the Incecticons, I wasn’t interested in him at 40 dollars. But for 8 bucks, I figure, how can one go wrong. Well, it’s possible you…

Legacy Shadowstrip

My Transformers purchases these days has slowed to an absolute molasses drip. There is a lot of "cool" stuff being put out, but I often already have "good enough" versions of these characters and the prices are getting a bit too much for my taste. I do still pick some up occasionally. One that's been nagging at me a bit was the new Menasor in Transformers Legacy. The Stunticons are my favorite combiner team and up there on my favorite Transformers. I really like the Combiner Wars version of the team, though it's not perfect. The new version is designed…

Studio Series – Rampage

The second in the multipart, multiyear release of figure from Hasbro to produce an accurate Revenge of the Fallen Devastator is Studio Series Rampage. The first release was Studio Series Scrapmetal, who was a pretty good all around transformer, and sort of an original character for Studio Series, who didn't get a release in the original Revenge of the Fallen line. Rampage here is a little different though, he was a leg for the old Devastator that didn't have individual robot modes and he got a single packed Deluxe release that didn't come with a limb mode. Rampage is also…
