WEEKLY NEWS 1/7/24: GI JOE, TMNT, THUNDERCATS, MOTU, STAR WARS, TRANSFORMERS NECA SUPER 7 RAMEN

[@bobdobalina8910]

Quite surprised No 3rd or 4th Party has UPSIZED the Titans Trypticon. They did, I would be in.

[@DragoonMS]

I'm surprised that Takara didn't retool Trypticon into Beast Wars II Gigastorm for their Generations Selects line.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

@@bobdobalina8910 That sounds terrible. I am hearing this year is more mild than ever up there

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

They are missing an opportunity there

[@josephmonroy3865]

These Defensors are looking good. I'm glad to see him getting some love. I have the upscaled yes model (Maketoys) Guardia, so the MMC or Xtransbots will be my next Defensor. Wasn't a fan of the older TFC Prometheus. The Generation Toy Guardian looks decent enough, but these two are exactly what I'm looking for.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I think both defensors look great and but MMC seems to have a more simple transformation

[@happiaxxident]

thanks for the heads up on the trap jaw. I’m gonna go to my target right now to get there when the doors open to see what I can see.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I hope you got one

[@lareh5501]

24:18 If Ollie's opened things up for online sales, they'd definitely sell more. Yes, it adds additional logistics & costs, but if they put a minimum $amount threshold for orders that they'd ship (maybe $100 or $150 minimum), they could mitigate some of those costs and move a lot of their product. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

That would be a great way for them to get rid of some overstock but I doubt they will

[@lamarravery4094]

We don't have an Ollie's on the west coast. If they had an online store, they'd be making a lot more money from us in the west.

[@joemcgonagle7177]

@@lamarravery4094 screw Ollie's GIVE ME ROOOOOSSSSSSSS! Have an Ollie's in my city n ya if you like marvel/dc figures it's great but I've never seen a wall full of awesome transformers for 10$ there. Or a 50$ ark.

[@happiaxxident]

That Dr. Wu black & white ‘Dead Prime’ repaint reveal snuck right past you, Mike!

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I did not know that was a thing thanks

[@chadconwell1964]

I found dragon blaster skeletor and snake face at Ross last night $5 each

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Those are great deals and not very old

[@Scotty-Z70]

can you take-apart and re-arrange the TMNT/MOTU figures like you can the MOTUO?

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I think so but I have not handled them yet, I saw a guy trying to swap parts with Trap jaw but they did not match up

[@Scotty-Z70]

btw, the thumbnail looks like FAKED NEWS, the E is kinda cut-off as it clings the bottom, and the L is almost out of frame. reminds me of a Meme of a person with an "American Eagle" shirt on that was slightly out of frame, looking like an insult.@@tydiriumhanger1320

[@RAMENTOY]

Apologies Mike, the "sheen" is the same as the original. The sheen will come from the stickers which are a gloss finish.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Thanks for the info

[@TheGreatDayne1983]

I’m getting Super7 Scarlett and then I’m done with Super7 Sunbow Joe. Looking forward to more Filmation origins and the Tmnt Motu crossover figures. Hope they make a Big Convoy to go with Magmatron.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Heck Yes Scarlett looks great but I am in on one of each of these because I prefer the Toon look

[@happiaxxident]

I have the original Takara release Magmatron. Great figure. Nice to see someone take a modern stab at it.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

It look quite interesting after I got over the $90 sticker shock

[@BlackArroToons]

Nice previews, thanks Mike. Nice to see Ghostbusters line for 9.99 too as an option. I hope Hasbro gets back to window packaging/box designs for the Transformers lines, more like the classic packaging with the clear windows which are still awesome to this day.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Hasbro is struggling so now they give us back the packaging we all really want

[@RadtechCustoms175]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hasbro continues with the multipacks for Transformers. They are doing it for marvel Legends. What they do is for a 2 pack, put a fig in that everyone wants with another that’s a repaint and with no/ to minimal accessories. Example that Spider-Man 3 pack. Then they turn around and resell them with all the accessories. They get u pay 2 for one. With transformers they will probably make Sunstreaker(which everyone will want) but then bundle it with a repaint or something.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Makes sense to move a older figure along side Sunstreaker

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Despite the climate around star wars, the new clones and R2 are just the best versions to date and enjoyable to play with ❤😂

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

there really are some gems getting released which is why I still pay attention to the line

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

@tydiriumhanger1320 Absolutely. I'm not all for Hascrap, but the black series team have made leaps and bounds ,as well as the power rangers lightning collection remastered, and should be commended with $. Now I'm pissed because I'm going to have to wait for updates on the stormtroopers, and clone commandos. Even Boba fett 😛

[@thetitan914]

To my understanding the new Tripticon is going to be about half the size of the Siyang Metroplex. Siyang is doing a Scorponok next for some reason.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Will be interesting to see the Siyang Tripticon vs their Metroplex

[@gtoney]

Great News ✨️😎

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Thanks

[@reggiebrown9508]

Is it the multi pack that Walmart has? They combine 2 figures and they charge only $25 for both.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I bet the multi packs will be $50 and exculsives

[@toddsmith9598]

I miss the George Lucas days, when Star Wars was fun. Now I have to admit…it’s more fun to make fun of Star Wars.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

George got so much hare for the Prequels but we miss him now

[@Roadpigjohn]

I'm really not interested in glow in the dark Cheetara Mike but I'm onboard on the cartoon line characters that were more iconic in the show... Mongor and Hachiman are already in my pile of loot at the bigbadtoystore and next in line will be Snarf when they make a sale on him...😃✌️💡

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

That is what makes Glow Cheetara perfect for an exclusive because she is not necessary but I am in on everything for the line....for now

[@Kuroketsu]

The D&D stuff coming to Ollie's Wed is more of the Campaign cases and the Warriors of Krynn. Nothing new, but more of the really good deal. Trick is if you want it, how does your particular store handles scalpers.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I was hoping for wave 2 of the toon figures. I have never heard of any limits at any Ollies but I have not seen anyone buy everything in one go it dwindles down a few at a time it appears.

[@vietcong411]

On another youtubers livestream it was mentioned that there is a big rumor Ton Ton got arrested due to stolen figures. I have not been able to find anything about that claim.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Hmmm I have not heard that and could be speculation but if there is any more info let me know

[@spargotee]

Thank you

[@punaforager]

I didn’t know fast and furious were different car models, cool.hasbro has some transformers announcements on the 24th I believe…. Let’s hope we get a shot of swoop.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

It would make sense to announce Swoop next but who knows

[@Roadpigjohn]

Dungeons and dragons animated figures wave 2 coming to Ollie's? I'm interested since I don't have that Wave Mike... I bought all wave 1 at Target 🎯 and bigbadtoystore at original price but decided to wait for wave 2 since I collect a lot of other lines.😃✌️💡

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I am only hoping for wave 2 as they do not know exactly what is coming yet but worth checking out

[@Roadpigjohn]

Let's see if it shows up Mike... I heard reports of the wave 2 showing at Ross but I didn't check at my local stores yet...💡

[@crsingh2010]

is it too much to ask for the all black snake eyes from super 7? do they hate money?

[@EricZuniga69]

Classified Mutt and Junkyard was revealed months ago and it’s already available while Super 7 Wave 3 was revealed years ago and it’s still not available!! What gives?!! Is Hasbro that above Super 7!!!?? I mean im not expecting Super 7 to match Hasbro’s production but they should at least match their release projections. You know more about the toy industry any guesses??

[@nicholasdickens2801]

They are a much smaller company so their business model is more like a crowd fund than say what Hasbro do. Mutt and Junkyard were announced officially 3-4 months ago and it was around a year ago Super7 announced this wave.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

That is why I still collect Classified because of the slow S7 releases

[@EricZuniga69]

Hey Have you heard??? Super 7 is doing the cartoon Dungeons and Dragons Ultimate line!!! So the Hasbro figures just became obsolete!! Are you going to spend $55 each or stick with Hasbro??

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

@@EricZuniga69 Thanks for the heads up I need to make a vid about these

[@DragoonMS]

The green component of Magmatron is a plesiosaurus. Remember the Fansproject "Lost EXO Realm" series of Dinobots? They had two girls; a velociraptor and a plesiosaurus...and plesio's basically supposed to be a version of Paddles. A more recent example is Zyuudenryuu Plezuon aka Plezuoh from 2013's Zyuuden Sentai Kyouryuuger/the Plesiozord aka Plesiocharge Megazord from 2015's Power Rangers Dinocharge (and the 2016 half, Power Rangers Dino Supercharge). Mouse-Jaw!? They're makin' the Mousers into Trap Jaw!? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Can't be any crazier than the Mutated He-Man lookin' like cartoon Faker (who was blue), or Leonardo being his own He-Man with Donatello being his own Man-At-Arms. And between Skeletor and possibly Hordak, who's gonna be Shredder and who's gonna be Krang...and who will Shredder and Krang themselves imitate?? 😏😏😏 That MMC Hot Spot seems...weird. I don't remember ANY of the Combiner torso bots *EVER* being taller than Optimus, Rodimus, Megatron, or Galvatron. Razorclaw could be a possible exception, but we never really saw the Predacon robot modes with Galvatron, and we never really saw Predaking with other Combiners. (Transformers Zone don't count, these are all modified versions where the Decepticon Combiners, Trypticon, Overlord, & Black Zarak are the same size...) I bet that like their Bruticus, it'll be the most expensive option that ain't FansToys. 😒😒😒

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

MMC does have the all in one so the main one has to be pretty big sadly. That Green dino did look a bit like Paddles

[@frostgiant374]

We need a titan broadside

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

That may be in the cards down the road

[@spargotee]

Plesiosauria

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

The dino

[@lareh5501]

16:21 $90 bucks?!?!?!?? And she still can't bend her knees like the sprinter she is?!?!? I'd be more interested in improved articulation and accessories to mimic the superspeed after effect and her twirling of a staff. That piece they included for her staff was/is terrible (unless it's from an episode I don't remember); and would've been better to include something like they did for Panthro. I previously had thoughts of cutting material like a 6-inch by 24-inch thin piece of cloth or plastic to mimic the superspeed aftereffect. That way, with posts (or tall toothpicks into a styrofoam base, one could zigzag or wrap the speed effect around a collage of figures. Now, if S7 made something to statisfy those ideas, and make them glow in the dark, then they might've gotten my $90. As is, I'll stick with my 2 disappointing regular versions and 1 toy version of S7 ultimates Cheetara.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

The original price was $65 but that was still high for that figure

[@joemcgonagle7177]

Do the magmatron dinos each have robot modes?

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I do not think so I have not seen any pic of that

[@miragexl007]

LOL. Star Wars? Didn't know they are still around. Yep, not much interest in Star Wars for some time now Ever since Finny/Rennnn thing...gag.

[@Deceptisaur]

Not impressed with some of these 2nd teir companies new legends offerings. That chromedome alt mode is really ugly. Repaint it green and you have a dead ringer for the Griswold's Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation. That Warpath is hot garbage too. That side view is horrendous. Panels can't connect and it's all bowed out. Terrible paint job and the sculpt isn't impressive in bot mode either. I will show some patience and wait until Newage or MS take a much better crack it it. I'm not wasting money on a bad place holder.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

NA and MS still do the best work but higher prices
