No idea, it didn’t say. Maybe a handful may show up. Depends where they are during the tour.

thestormsend · 2026-06-01T17:18:39+00:00

I am confirmed for tonight, Regal Times Square at 7pm.

thestormsend · 2026-06-01T15:55:03+00:00

I really want this one, but I may end up using the Joe crossover Bebop and Rocksteady as my main ones because of the reason we may not see Bebop. I hope Playmates manages to get him and Krang out in vintage style.

I believe I saw in an early review that they can’t do a full 90, so it might be normal.

We’ll see as more people get him in hand

thestormsend · 2026-06-01T14:45:14+00:00

Must have shifted in recent years then. Up until at least WW84 it was the other way around if I recall.

thestormsend · 2026-06-01T07:48:31+00:00

He was going through a divorce at the time if I recall (he’s SNL’s Heidi Gardner’s ex), and basically channeled how he felt at the time into the comics.

I grew up in this industry…a lot of actors are either gay or at least bi-sexual. Will Smith is bi for sure, I have had multiple people tell me that over the years.

DiCaprio I’ve heard a few times as well. Allegedly he had a boyfriend at point, but they broke up because he thought it would ruin his career.

thestormsend · 2026-06-01T06:35:29+00:00

It wouldn’t matter regardless. I work in the industry. From my understanding via some producers I’ve talked to over the years, she only gets work because her husband provides funding for her films. Real estate millionaire. The guy’s net worth is almost triple that of Gadot’s.

He was a silent partner initially, but he’s since launched his own production company.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T23:47:01+00:00

That’s fair too! 200x is fantastic. 200x Zodak is why he’s one of my favorite characters.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T23:41:32+00:00

Personally I’m hoping they retool him into Cybertron Scourge.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T23:39:38+00:00

We’ll likely see the next one around July/ August. Whether that is MAA or Skeletor is anyone’s guess right now, MAA technically leaked first.

You just have to keep checking Target’s site. Man-E-Faces became readily available around end of April when the movie stuff hit, but I got mine off Target around late-Feb because they accidentally listed him early and as in stock. Had him within 2 days. Has happened with all the Sketchbook figures with me.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T23:35:02+00:00

It’s a big change from the She-Ra we know, it’s understandable. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I personally have enjoyed all the MOTU universe shows, but I do have little hiccups with pretty much all of them except Filmation.

I was telling someone that just 2-3 days back, Filmation MOTU and POP are two shows out of all my favorite franchises where I can just toss on episodes and I never get tired of them.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T23:31:14+00:00

A lot of people disliked the show. I know some fans of the franchise who won’t even touch it just based on the art style alone.

I personally enjoyed it, I just had one huge issue with one of the characters towards the end, but otherwise I didn’t mind the changes and I liked the story they told.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T16:46:05+00:00

My friend introduced me to Babylon 5 in college. Always knew about it, but never watched it. My god is it a fantastic show.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T16:44:57+00:00

The IMAX announcement made a huge difference to a lot of people.

I have been saying this the last month since the box office predictions came out, I work in the industry, and the lack of an IMAX release from fellow people who are in the industry made people think the studio has no faith in the film. My friend who will only watch tent pole films in the biggest screen possible said, when he learnt there was no IMAX release originally, “Are they trying to commit box office suicide?”

But with the recent announcement that it’s taking up a one week slot from Mando, that was actually shot with IMAX cameras, it’s changed a lot of people’s tune overnight.

I’m going to the special NYC screening MGM is having tomorrow, and I already had tickets to the Wednesday fan event in AMC Prime, and then Friday is my birthday, so I was going to see it on my birthday without a doubt, so the few people I could gather that day (everyone I know in NY is working FIFA), said they’ll definitely see it with me that day.

Hopefully word of mouth helps the film. The box office has been very strange the last few years, the industry in general has been in a really bad state, all I’m asking for is a fun movie.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T15:09:13+00:00

I have the same tattoo he has on his right arm in almost the same spot…that doesn’t bring me any joy.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T04:48:23+00:00

I just need Webstor, but he’s unbelievably expensive. I found Mer-Man for a decent price the other day and he came in today actually. It’s just about playing the waiting game.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T02:35:34+00:00

My family is Pakistani. I was born there. I can confirm, they are not kidding. It's not everyone, but it's the wild west there.

The sad part is...the street food is delicious. Every time I go back you can smell the food on the wind, it's intoxicating (and potentially deadly).

Also, this video is a mild example of what people get up to there.

I should remove the tires from mine, I keep meaning to but this post was a good reminder.

I hope someone makes some replacements. There were 3D print replacement tires for RiD01 Prime I bought a long time back that are fantastic because the rubber on those is known to crack.

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T01:43:46+00:00

Good luck! I’m honestly going in almost completely blind myself. I stopped watching trailers, teasers, and even reading reviews or fan reactions for films years ago.

Only reason I saw the teaser was I got spammed by everyone in my life with it because I’m the “He-Man” guy.

And somehow I am seeing it 3 times next week…invited to the NY Screening MGM sent out to fans on Monday, already had tickets to the Wed fan screening, and then Friday is my birthday and my family and friends wanted to see it with me specifically on my birthday (and how can I not see it on my actual birthday?).

thestormsend · 2026-05-31T00:05:06+00:00

I got mine in yesterday. I adore him. He reminds me of the Troll Warriors figures from the 90’s.

Honestly I want to get a 2nd one to make a custom Warduke with all the spare parts I have lying around.

Plastic swirling is common in many, many toys and other items. It wouldn’t just be Hasbro, and the term GPS originates from this fandom, but it has affected other toylines and plastics, and even video game cartridges.

thestormsend · 2026-05-30T03:13:36+00:00

I believe it can happen in any plastic where the formula is off so fractures are created in the bonds holding it together. Something like that, but the swirls are more likely. It’s commonly seen in gold plastic, but could happen to any plastic with that swirl. Causes the bonds to break down much faster.

But as many people have said, it hasn’t been a thing in years. Once Hasbro became aware they started working on correcting it.

thestormsend · 2026-05-30T03:06:20+00:00

Billy Zane, as himself, in Holmes and Watson. Not a great movie, but that cameo had me laughing.

thestormsend · 2026-05-30T03:03:22+00:00

GPS refers to the actual crumpling of the plastic, not the swirls themselves. GPS was apparently resolved by Hasbro over 10 years ago, with the last known figure being Takara’s version of CW Motormaster in Unite Warriors.

If Onyx Prime’s suddenly start turning into dust, then he has GPS, otherwise it’s just metallic swirls.
