Review > Iron (DC Universe Classics)
The Metal Men were created as a last minute filler feature and proved to be popular enough on their own right to get their own title. Each of the Metal Men, artificially intelligent robots, inherited their traits and abilities from their namesake metals, so whereas Iron is super strong, Lead is slow-witted and can block [...]
Guest Review > The Question (DC Universe Classics, Mattel)
Sometime between when Wave 8 and 9 of DCUC never really showed up on shelves in my area, and Wave 10 scarcely made its presence known before leaving a sea of Powergirls warming pegs like Cyborgs and Captain Colds before her, I decided that I would be cherry picking DCUC from thereon in, sticking with [...]
Guest Review > Solomon Grundy (Brave and the Bold, Mattel)
Solomon Grundy was born on a Monday, bought on a Thursday.
Throughout various comics and animation, Solomon Grundy has been depicted as an unintelligent monster and in stark contrast, as a criminal mastermind. He sometimes is nothing more than a mindless zombie and is often used merely as a pawn for some other villains scheme. In [...]
Show & Tell > Rocky Horror Picture Show Figures
“A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, God said: ‘Let there be lips,’ and there were lips and they were red.” Every Saturday at midnight in dozens of movie theatres across the globe this line is shouted at the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of [...]
Vintage Month > That’s Just Prime (by PrftktTear)
Throughout its history, Transformers has had many incarnations, but one character is always prominent in them all: Optimus Prime. From the first time we heard him say “Transform and ROLL OUT!”, generations of kids have been inspired by the Big Bot.
Over the years Optimus has taken many forms, from his familiar trailer truck, a fire [...]
Hasbro Toy Fair roundup
A roundup of all the Transformers and G.I. Joe stuff Hasbro showed off at Toy Fair last weekend.
Taters of the Lost Ark
Hi! Power Pal PrfktTear here. While I am the resident Transformers Guru, I’m also nuts about a certain little spud. With Transformers news in a lull since BotCon ‘08, and over a month to go until the first Transformers: Animated toys hit shelves, I have a distant cousin, Mr. Potato head. Okay, he’s got nothing [...]
Armchair BotCon Coverage
Hi, it’s Power Pal PrfktTear here, your local Transformers guru. I’m here to give you the rundown on all the goodies announced by Hasbro at this year’s BotCon, held in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Be sure to check out the bottom of the article for the photo gallery!)
Transformers: Animated arrives early?
If you can’t wait until June for the first wave of Transformers: Animated figures to hit shelves, you may be in luck! Yesterday, the Hasbro Toy Shop Catalogue began hitting mailboxes, and yours truly happened to receive one. Inside is a full page spread featuring the first wave of Transformers: Animated figures. Hasbro is reporting [...]
Toy Fair 2008 > Transformers Round-Up
Just as Paul has taken up the mantle of PGPoA’s Star Wars and G.I. Joe correspondent, PrfktTear has volunteered to pick up my slack on Hasbro’s Transformers offerings. Take it away, PT!
Hello all! PrfktTear here. Poe has asked me to help out with Transformers news and observations. You might know me from posting over at [...]
