For those keeping track, Hasbro and Mezco are both doing 6-inch figures, Super7 is doing 7-inch figures (and also 3 3/4-inch figures), and Mego is doing 8-inch figures. Multiple firms are doing 12-inch figures. While a lot of companies made Mego-like figures of other, later action figures, this is the first time a Hasbro character was produced in the Mego-branded format.

Again! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Trilogy Red Alert Action Figure is a Walmart exclusive redeco of a figure from a few years ago - it's different! More or less. But if you have a Red Alert, either one is perfectly good. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

There's no guarantee it will come to the United States. So far, the Heidi sets haven't made it here.

It's like you remember, but smaller! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Kingdom Core Soundwave Action Figure is a lot like the 1984 original, down to an opening door with a slug tape inside. If you can't get Walmart's exclusive tape deck - and at this point, you probably can't - you may want this smaller substitute. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

The movie was slated for last year, then this fall, and then suddenly got moved to this week in the wake of other recent box office successes this year - albeit without the marketing campaign or the toy tie-in to inform people it's actually coming. Black Widow had toys out last year, but they basically ran through those with minimal support for the movie and what certainly felt like a lot less promotion for it. There are plenty of prognosticators out there for movies, so I'll just leave this out there to remind you that the movie is indeed due this week and it's unlikely you'll see the toys in person before the August toy aisle "holiday" reset. And that's assuming stores want to carry them given the movie will probably come and go quickly... but the figures do look pretty neat.

There are a lot of movie - some with toys produced - pushed for later this year, like The Eternals and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. These things have been bounced around so much that I can only say that I assume they will still be released. But I still haven't seen Black Widow so what do I know?

Anyway, there's no 3 3/4-inch movie line this time, and the film's toy line is going to be pretty small. There are some nice classic-inspired 6-inch figures for about ten bucks though, so keep your eyes open for those.

This game cartridge is set for release in March 2022. It's also a bit more expensive - it's about US$60 for a bare cartridge, $80 for a boxed copy, and shipping to the USA is another $20 making it one of the more expensive game cartridges for this era of Nintendo Entertainment System releases. There's also a limited edition version.

The playable characters were charmingly low-res with excellent backgrounds and snappy music. Also the logo and cinematic screens took a long time to sit through and couldn't be skipped.

This figure is set for release in Fall 2022.
