Newish! One of many highlights from 2025, September's delivery of the Takara-Tomy Transformers Missing Link Arcee (Prototype Colors) Action Figure was only 39 years late. The orange and pink prototype model was kicking around Takara in the 1980s, and there weren't any Arcee toys until the 1990s - and that was a spider! This figure fills a cap in the original toy shelf, so old-school fans might want this one (or the pink and white one) to go with Springer and Hot Rod. It has metal parts, the transformation is smooth and fun (minus the robot knees), and I love the car mode. I'd recommend getting one of these if you're a 1980s kid that wants something "new" for your G1 collection. Read on!

"Upgrade" does what it says - Optimus Prime and Bumblebee get new toy modes in this heist-theme episode.

Posted 10 years ago! From 2014, Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Blade wasn't everybody's favorite bad guy, but he turned out amazingly well. With loads of sculpted detail and three accessories, you got your $27 worth - but shipping always stung a bit back then. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Also there was the Drop Menu: Cappy Space for November 16, 2025, which sold out when I was on vacation at a museum. So let that be a lesson, never leave the house.

The GodBeast has their next drop this Friday. It's a good season for Glyos!

While you're at it, the Star Wars The Retro Collection Return of the Jedi 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures Set of 6 - Exclusive is back in stock. Get yourself all the Yak Faces you can eat!

New and Sold Out! The Onell Design Glyos Infinite Pheyden Standard is one of shockingly few figures Onell Design sold out of and immediately opened for a second run - which closed before the first run shipped out the door. I've been messing with these guys and I would say the review is a little undercooked this time because I keep trying new things with it and finding out which parts can swap in well from other figures. You'll see more of that in the alternate deco figure reviews in the coming weeks too. It's a very good indie figure and the kind of thing I wish I could walk into the store and buy. It doesn't break a lot of new ground, it doesn't transform the world of toys, but if you like this sort of thing? You'll be mad you missed it. It's a lot of fun. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Set a reminder for Friday at 10:00 AM Pacific! Also don't miss The GodBeast's next drop on November 21 at 8:00 PM Central.

Also check out the Drop Menu: Bah'Glenn Creations for November 12, 2025. Plush collectibles made from Matt Doughty art can be yours rather cheaply. Check the store for current availability.

Old! The Mattel Hot Wheels Racer Verse Wonder Woman & Batman is part of a line collectors seem to be ignoring but one I feel has a lot of promise. Mario Kart-esque cars with figures are widely available across multiple licenses, but pegwarmers that may not appeal to little boys pile up and not everything is a hit. This is a hit - and somehow it was at Ross for $2.99, so I got it. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

"Shoot n Loot" does not introduce new faces but it really does lean on the team-based shooter motif. It might not be as fun as the other episodes but what else are you going to watch on a bathroom break?

Also the Transformers One 2024 Matrix of Leadership Replica is back in stock right now! Get it, or don't.

Newish! The big brown Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Leader The Thirteen Onyx Prime doesn't match the colorful IDW comics version, but it still looks pretty neat with wings and beaks and hooves and a centaur mode. It's a deceptively simple toy, but it's fun to fuss with and has a big spear. Read on!

Also don't miss the return of the Transformers Power of the Primes Predaking Combiner Team Set. It's big!

Nothing sold out on Saturday night, but the black Axis Joints and the Altered Origin Pheyden sold out by early Sunday. So, go grab something if you have a few bucks. I'm playing with the Infinite Pheyden guys I got a few weeks ago still, and a review for the blue Pheyden will be up later this week. You'll like them.

A lot of other Glyos figures were revealed but there weren't many official announcements from any of the other makers. I'm itching to get my hands on the Paleolords. Knights of the Slice reportedly offered a wonderful bright green Gauss armor with a pink blaster and matching highlights. I also posted other LegionsCon reveals here, there are some really sharp ones on deck.

I wish there could be a world where there was also a kiddie version of this line with simpler stuff in stores, but such is not how it goes. Could you imagine a 4-inch Glyos version of some of these guys? It wouldn't be as impressive but it would be fun to take a big manta ray guy with you on trips if you were a kid. Anyway, great stuff, and give 'em a look. You probably won't see anything cooler or more original this year.

Just be prepared to wait a bit.

Posted 10 years ago! From 1996, Playmates Star Trek Elim Garak Action Figure was something I wanted to get when it was new but didn't pick it up until roughly the time I wrote the review. Star Wars was taking all my action figure money in 1996, so I had to wait to get it for basically the same price since Trek collecting hasn't exactly become more popular. It's a great figure, and I'm just delighted that it exists. You can probably find one at comic or record shops, or maybe an antique mall and it'll be under $10. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!
