Equipment: Transformers’ Reveals from Hasbro Pulse Con 2021

Posted on 2021/10/31 by James

Transformers have changed a bit since we first started playing with them. The modern figures have more articulation and just generally look better. I can’t even make snide comment and say, “I wish I would have had that as a kid!” Truth of the matter is I am still buying these and playing with them. The only difference between my youth and now is that I have more money to pay for toys as an adult.

Last week at Hasbro Pulse Con, Hasbro announced some great looking figures. Read on to see what is rolling out from Hasbro. Continue reading →

Equipment: Coming from Hasbro is the Ghostbusters HasLab Project…a 1:1 Scaled Proton Pack

Posted on 2021/10/28 by James

Have there been any recent reports of odd occurrences in your neighborhood? No, not the guy a few houses down that likes to mow his lawn at 4 a.m., wearing a bathrobe and a pair of tube socks pulled up to his knees. That’s just your neighbor, who falls more into the category of something weird that don’t look good. Although… who mows a pattern like that into their lawn? Maybe he’s trying to open a portal to the other side, right there in his front yard? Okay, on second thought, you should probably keep a closer eye on him. You may very well need to call in the professionals: the Ghostbusters. Continue reading →

This past weekend was Hasbo Pulse Con and there were tons of announcements. Everyone has their favorite line and for me it is G.I. Joe. I have been a Joe fan my entire life.

The Needler follows the other Halo blasters released earlier this year, the Halo MA40 Motorized Dart Blaster, the Halo Bulldog SG Dart Blaster and the Nerf Halo Mangler blaster. Continue reading →
