Revised! Hasbro Transformers Studio Series 86 Autobot Springer takes a $20 toy from five years ago and adds a few extra accessories, and now it's $55. It's arguably not worth the asking price if you have the iege or WreckersRead on!

This week:
Step It Up (Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels) - in which you go up the stairs.

Quickdraw (Metroid) - in which you are the Zoomer exterminator.

Coconut Rush (Kirby's Adventure) - in which you go door to door.

No Bones About It (Zelda II: The Adventure of Link) - in which you kill a skeleton... again?

Hammer It Out (Super Mario Bros. 3) - in which you can't lose your tool.

I got all the trophies the first try this week, which doesn't happen much lately.

Posted 10 years ago! The Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Light Hope was a clear-ish exclusive to what was then a pretty groundbreaking subscription program for collectors. Sadly, there aren't a lot of those left - but we have the memories. And the toys. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

I blame this show for my shift to vampire hours. When I was a teenager, it aired on KZON 101.5 FM from 12:00 AM to 2:00 AM Sundays into Mondays. Over-the-air radio broadcasts ended in June 2010, but you can still catch up with streaming shows on the web site. Audio comedy has been kind of stagnant for a while, especially since "Weird Al" has semi-retired from new albums. I never found another show like it for funny stuff, but you'll occasionally find Cheech & Chong or Monty Python on Henry Rollins' KCRW show. I listen to Rollins' show every week, as well as the BBC6 Iggy Confidential show - which tends to not have a lot of comedy in it.

It's kind of sad to see the show ending after chugging away online for 15 years, and hopef

Switch 2 has Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. And that's it.

Glows! The The Outer Space Men Bluestar Gemini Action Figure glows for actual hours when properly charged - dimly, but it's still hours longer than a green figure goes. He has two - well, three - heads, and a fair chunk of moving parts. It's pretty neat. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Pretty good! The Mattel Hot Wheels Volkswagen T2 Pickup sold quickly, but oddly stood out on the pegs. Gray? It's bland, but in this context it really popped with a clean design and striking lettering. You should get it. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Not new! Hasbro Transformers Legacy United Deluxe Robots in Disguise 2001 Universe Side Burn Action Figure is a remake of a figure that, 25 years ago, was a stunning change in direction (and complicated.) This one is a little less sleek and doesn't have any chrome, but I also didn't have parts pop off that weren't supposed to. Read on!

Also new, ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Wave 13 - Skycutter (Small Vehicle), The Fantastic Four: First Steps H.E.R.B.I.E Mini-Backpack, and more!

This week:
Super Leaf in the Wind (Super Mario Bros. 3) - in which you collect 20,000 leafs under the sea.

Death Mountain Duel (The Legend of Zelda) - in which you go to Lynel PlayWorld.

One on 1-1 (Super Mario Bros) - in which you beat the first level.

Every Last Eggplant (Ice Climber) - in which you collect inappropriate emojis.

Underworld Wonder (Kid Icarus) - in which you beat an entire palace.

I got a new controller, and I'm finding it's a little twitchy - an occasional weird turn, I assume, as the result of controller throw. My old one had a similar thing where it would sometimes register phantom presses. I still got the trophies though.

Posted 10 years ago! The Hasbro Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Decepticon Offroad came out in 2011, and boy howdy is it good. I remain surprised Hasbro hasn't done a new version of it. It's garish. It's more G2 than G2. There should be a new one, and we should all buy it. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Switch 2 Game Cube include FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Presumably we're going to see less Switch and more Switch 2 in the months ahead.

Old! The Super7 Universal Monsters The Mummy Ardath Bey ReAction Figure is sold out, but you might still find one. It's pretty good - the colors may be wrong but it can be hard to know for a black and white movie. The faux Kenner aesthetic allows for off-color figures, so in that respect this might be superb. I like it. You might like it too. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Given the modern episode orders are usually like 6 or 10, I wouldn't expect a huge sprawling first season - but hey, anything is more than we've got now. Bingo, bongo.
