It's newish! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Earthrise Deluxe Airwave Action Figure is starting to hit in a bigger way, but I still don't see a lot of them. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

It's a fairly impressive time-attack shooter - if nothing else, grab the ROM for your Analogue Mega Sg or emulators!

--AP

The extra $30 gets you a CD soundtrack, poster, pin set, coin, and an acrylic standee. All good swag if you love the game. But wait, there's more!

--AP

Dinobot looks like a gorgeous recreation of the TV show robot mode with a decent-if-lumpy raptor mode. Airrazor has some sort of gerhawk mode shown and a stellar robot form, plus a decent bird mode. Ultra Magnus is a more vibrant retool of the Siege toy, with new shoulder guns, a new torso, new head, new stacks, and a face lift of the truck mode. It does not use any Earthrise Optimus parts.

In addition, leaks of Inferno and others are making the rounds.

Hacking the Xbox to run other games has been around since the original systems in 2001 - it's a tradition! - but this seems to be relatively easy to do with minimal expertise, assuming you can actually find the new Xboxes in a store near you.

--AP

It's sold out! The Super7 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimates Foot Soldier Action Figure gives the figure from the 1980s extra gear and articulation, but manages to keep the spirit of the thing that was once only four bucks. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

I stumbled on a retweet from Asobi.tech yesterday, so it might be worth a look in case the game is opened for additional sales.

--AP

While clearly a colorful show for kids, it's surprisingly entertaining with a lot of fun adventure elements mixed in with classic kidvid stories and a murderer's row of voice talent. It also is peppered with nods to the NES game, like pogo-jumping on a recent episode or the Moon theme popping up as a lullabye.

--AP

Pre-orders are nearby... real nearby.

Order yours now! And stay tuned for more new reveals.

The final drop of the year is inspired by The Mandalorian, with a few of the fancier items already sold. Gems like the Metrallore Commando, the Armorvor Vortrooper, and Delphi Monbarann are still in stock at press time - grab some if you are so inclined.

--AP

So far the line has a handful of figures and accessory packs, and they're cheap - but look neat. We'll review some here if/when I get over to Dollar Tree, but if nothing else it's worth a look just to see that someone out there is trying to make action figures affordable for kids. If Burger King could sell 3 3/4-inch scale Universal Monsters in the 1990s with a burger, fries, and a drunk for three bucks, $1 space military and aliens shouldn't be too much of a stretch. If Lanard's toys are to fancy for you, this might be worth a peek.

It's newish! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Earthrise Battle Masters Decepticon Doublecrosser Action Figure is a ramp with two heads. Of terror! So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

No prices or release dates are given, but Lanard's stuff is traditionally quite cheap and, in the USA, exclusive to Walmart. I would assume these would be $10-$20, but we'll have to wait and see.

It's nifty - the previews have Rivers explaining what you get, including stuff that became other stuff that didn't come out like a proto recording of "Blast Off." Which may mean something to some of you.

--AP

It's not festive! The Playmobil Back to the Future Advent Calendar with Figures is loaded with gear and seven figures, plus a couple of mostly-cardboard environments. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

Pages 24-25 have new sets from Volkswagen and Back to the Future. Scooby-Doo starts on page 28, and is packed with variations on Scooby. Not-quite-Dino-Riders is on page 36.

Presumably the licensed sets come out in the USA around the same time as Germany, but non-licensed sets are a year later (as the USA is an "export market.") Things can change - and we don't have a 2021 price list or US catalog yet - but you can get a peek in the future right now if you like.

At retail: Space Invaders Forever - which I did order, and am now excitedly awaiting! So far I only saw it on Amazon and it got delayed, presumably it will be sold elsewhere too. (That's an affiliate link.)

There haven't been any reviews yet, but your ears can hear the weird UK-specific bubblegum audio and Twitter impressions have been positive so far.

It's newish! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Earthrise Voyager Quintesson Judge Action Figure is going to be a thing you'll regret skipping later. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

There's a sign-up for a beta if you are interested in such things, and indeed you should be.

This may show up in January or February as part of the Walmart toy aisle reset, which is expected to include 7-inch Alien warriors as well as similarly sized Predator figures. The preds also have a 12-inch figure.

--AP

It's big! The Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Surround Sound Batcave Playset gives kids what may be one of the biggest action figure playsets of their lives - and somehow I got it for 66% off. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

Will it be good? Who knows! But it's a thing coming up and those of you who are as old as I am may recall the show being an odd showcase for the likes of Yakov Smirnoff and a pre-Data Brent Spiner. Also Richard Moll, a not-as-famous-as-he-should-be performer. He was Two-Face! And Bull.

--AP

At retail: Override 2: Super Mech League!

I picked up Space Invaders Forever and it looks like Space Invaders vs. Arkanoid is a very awkward port of a phone game - it loads when docked, but it is not presently playable docked. You need to use the touch screen. This is not indicated on the packaging anywhere.

Five reviews this week, spanning the whole set! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Trilogy Pit of Judgement PulseCon Exclusive Set Quintesson Judge Action Figure gives you a second egg-tentacle-face man, and it's different than the single-packed one. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

--AP

I have no idea how many are being made and if additional reruns will happen, so if you want one, this is a good time to grab it. Unless you think they'll do another new one later, which is a thing I would probably bet on down the road. I have no doubt they could make a more sturdy and more fun toy, but I don't imagine it would be this cheap or this large given toy inflation in recent years.

It's newish! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Trilogy Pit of Judgement PulseCon Exclusive Set Kranix Action Figure has no articulation, but it scratches a long-running itch in the form of a previously-unmade character with a speaking role in the old cartoons.

It's newish! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Trilogy Pit of Judgement PulseCon Exclusive Set Sharkticon Action Figure brings back the popular trooper in new colors. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

The expensive toy - which most fans paid for late in 2019 - is still set to ship "Early 2021," which is obviously not a specific timeframe.

It's newish! The Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Earthrise Deluxe Sunstreaker Action Figure is yellow... unless you buy the exclusive red and white repaints. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

This is based on a fellow from a show called Pawn Stars, and not Tennessee Tuxedo's walrus sidekick. There are videos out there and it's basically Irem's Kung Fu - which is generally considered to be a good game, so this is probably going to be a fun one.

--AP

There's a Megatron Sea Turtle, Iganus, Dragonfly, and tons of others that might make you go "Now why didn't we ever get that?" The actual toys we did get were pretty good - Panther, Beetle, Manta Ray, and Rhino. It is unfortunate that Megatron was unable to join the Turtle Club, but at least someone out there had a plan for it before Beast Wars reinvented Transformers toys in 1996.

--AP

Early press seems to indicate it is about as good as the first season Siege, which generally didn't go anywhere particularly new, but supposedly gives Elita-1 a lot more to do. Go get that toy while you can. (I did like Soundblaster as some defective clone gangster, though.) For those keeping track, the Earthrise toy line - which is excellent - is basically over and Kingdom toys are beginning to ship now.

--AP

It's big! The Hasbro Transformers Authentics Alpha Soundwave Action Figure is pretty good and at $10, a lot cheaper than other toys of his general size. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

I'm five episodes in to the new show so I skimmed this feature in spots as to not spoil stuff. I can say that, so far, it's better than the last one and now everybody is probably going to be happy they picked up a bunch of Walmart's exclusive deluxe toys earlier.
