Old! This Super7 Planet of the Apes Gorilla Soldier (Patrolman) ReAction Figure is a real classic, complete with a retro rifle and five points of articulation. It looks and feels a lot like actual old toys - that's why I love the Apes segment of this line so much. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Like most NES games these days, a bare cartridge is $40 and a boxed game is $60. That may sound like a lot, but I put $60 in an inflation calculator and set it to 1989. A typical good new NES game was $40 back then, and in 2024 dollars, that's about $100.75. ETA is July 2024, which is pretty fast if they can make it.

Old! The Hasbro Transformers Generations Legacy Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection Blurr is seemingly now finally vanishing from closeout store shelves, and that means he's oddly getting a smidgen closer to retail price. And he's pretty good - I dragged my feet forever before getting one and the results are on the happy side of decent. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

What you will care about: "Playmates is debuting its first POWER RANGERS collection with a kid targeted MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS toy line in 2025." Further details are a little sparse so far.

Playmates will often focus quite a lot of attention on a successful brand, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek in the 1990s. And not focus on it when it isn't working, like Star Trek since 2009. We saw what Hasbro did with Power Rangers, much like we once saw what Galoob did with Star Trek: The Next Generation. We could see a line that has a year and goes back to Hasbro, or we could see a new definitive brand statement - it's hard to say anything other than "it'll probably be cheaper."

Back in the day, the Game Gear had a TV tuner - something that would likely never work with Nintendo's hardware. But this? Analog radio still has a place, so this actually seems pretty cool if somewhat impractical. It's fascinating to see what you can do with the old hardware, and I hope people find a few more useful (or at least surprising) applications between now and the time our generation just stops caring.

"Hasbro said in the filing it is conducting a search for her successor, and will be considering both internal and external candidates, but is yet to make a further statement on WilliamsÕ resignation."

The toy business has been looking for its footing after a big surge in business leading to an era of some change - so what's next for them? I have no idea. But now you also have no idea. You're welcome.
