IIRC, Mattel’s license won’t kick in until “next summer”. The last major license changes I’ve seen have been giving the prior holder the spring season to “sell down” inventory rather than be a hard...

I’m pretty sure he’s INTENDED to be part of the “collector island” many store haves. But I’m not sure any of the store level employees give much of a flip. I’ve seen NUMEROUS items get tags...

Not sure if there will be any samples, but during their panel, TLS previewed wave 2, which so far features the Jackhammer and Hurricane. In addition, more 40th Anniversary black and gold sets are...

The molds didn’t come “out of retirement”. The old molds are LONG gone. TLS basically had to remake everything from scratch, that’s how you got the extra details like the Switchblade’s jet exhaust...

I’m guessing preorders will be due soon for that play set. That’s clearly a “promotional image”, and it’s even showcasing a few new figure, probably refreshes for the fall.

Looks like the battle...

We probably won’t know for sure until Warner does a big press release on merch support, or Toy Fair (in March). Whichever happens first.

Unlikely. Compare a given 3.75 GI Joe figure to a 3.75 Marvel figure, and you see a LOT more per buck with Joe than Marvel. Heck, back in 2010, Hasbro was offering GI Joe figures for 5.99 (at...

Because those things add more parts to the figure, which in turn increases the cost to produce.
