(Images Source) The War for Cybertron game figures in Hasbro's Transformers Studio Series line have been admittedly hit or miss in terms of quality. Some like Optimus and Sideswipe are very well rounded, whereas others like Barricade leave much to be desired. Overall I am happy to see this sublime of the series continue, and we've gotten lots of characters from this first game I was hoping to see such as the Seekers, Megatron, and Bee. While finishing the 86' movie seems to be a priority at the moment, I hope War for Cybertron isn't left to the wayside as these are five more figures I'd appreciate updates for in modern times!  5. Zeta Prime I say "updates" but in the case of Zeta Prime there is no prior figures to update on! This is where Studio Series really shines, taking it's original mission statement into account by producing figures for characters who have never had such. Zeta was a very cool personality in the game, providing a much more aggress...

(Images Source) Blokees has definitely taken to the market in a big way with tons of Transformers fans loving these chibi-esque small easily assembled blind box model kits that have been getting better and better with each wave! The cast has expanded quickly, and they along with Yolopark are some of the best affordable non-transforming Transformers figures out there! They've got me hooked, and eagerly awaiting the reveal of their wave 10 of the Galaxy line. They've lately been alternating with the Transformers One film for their waves so it remains to be seen if wave 10 is another return to the One cast or a continuation of more G1 (or something else entirely!), but I've drawn up my most wanted Blokees Galaxy Version model kits based on the G1 continuity! 5. More Combiners Since the conclusion of the Constructicons we haven't had any more combiner teams introduced into the Galaxy line. Defender series has been pumping them out with Devastator and now Bruticus coming in ...

(Banner Images Source)   (Following Images Source) Blokees line of Pokemon figures aren't just relegated to the smaller scale Pokemon, but we have been seeing a constant stream of larger scale Pokemon produced as well in each wave. I have been loving what I've been seeing with all the model kits thus far being very faithful recreations of the game designs with exciting effect pieces and in some cases even swappable parts like Snorlax's multiple face options! With wave 3 of the Classic Version-S figures just revealed I am wagering it won't be long until the "Fever Attack" wave reveals its Classic Version-L set of four model kits, and with Kanto being undoubtedly the most popular region out there for Pokemon I'm highlighting it first for my top five most wanted Blokees Classic Version-L model kits!   5. Blastoise and Venusaur These two are two of the most obvious options, and I'm surprised neither were in wave 2, especially with both Bulbasaur and Squirt...

(Images Source) It feels a little odd to think of a toyline "remastering" figures in the same vein as remastering films, but we've been seeing it as a growing trend whether it was the deceased Lightning Collection and their remastered Mighty Morphin figures, Black Series giving us updated versions of older figures such as Jango Fett and Revenge of the Sith Anakin, and now Studio Series with VW Bumblebee and AOE Grimlock receiving brand new figures in the line to improve upon their past releases. Both have been great examples of how a character can be improved with time and the just in figure technology, with Bee based less on concept art, and Grimlock being more in-line with the size we truly see in the film. With this in mind I've thought of a few characters from across Studio Series history that I wouldn't mind seeing redone as this film-based Transformers line continues.  Honorable Mention: Crankcase This is by far one of the biggest offenses in the Studio Seri...

  (Banner Images Source)   (Following Images Source) I was a humongous fan of the Mega Construx Pokemon line and followed it very closely for each new release (as is evident by the countless posts I made talking about Pokemon I wanted in the line). So I was more than disappointed when the line became little more than constant rereleases of the same Pokemon and sculpts we had already gotten, with spatterings of new Pokemon thrown in throughout the recent years. Now with Lego taking the brand from Mega we've seen the end of that line in totality, but a different up and coming company has actually made a splash this year with their own Pokemon offerings! The model kit company Blokees really made a name for themselves with their Transformers kits; however, they have several big name IPs under their belt at this point and 2025 saw Pokemon added to that. Their line seems to keep within a certain sense of scaling between the Pokemon, and capture articulation as well as 1:1 design sty...

SDCC 2025 has come and gone with  numerous reveals from toy companies going as hard as ever. With reveals from Hasbro, Mcfarlane, Jada Toys, and more it was truly a show like no other and one of the most exciting in recent years. So with the excitement of the weekend having passed and all the reveals out on the board, these are my top favorite SDCC reveals for the 2025 convention season!! Mcfarlane JSA and Earth 2 (Images Source) Mcfarlane's line up of DC Multiverse reveals wasn't as vast as it has been in previous showings; however, that could very well be related to the approaching end of the line. Regardless, they still had several very exciting figures shown off including a classic Scarecrow, the more classic Static Shock fans have wanted, and for me the biggest were the newest JSA members in Dr. Midnite and Starman! Along with them we're getting our newest entry into the slowly growing Earth-2 display, this time being Dick Grayson as Batman...a figure I have made a cus...
