Spinmaster? Really? Of ALL Companies, Mattel lost the license to Spinmaster? What the Hell does Spinmaster do?
Bakugan... Erector? heh heh... Erector! Etch-a-Sketch... These guys don't make Action Figures!!
First Mattel lost the Disney Princesses line. Now DC... If they lose WWE all they'll have is Barbie, Hot Wheels and shitty board games. I don't know if Spinmaster is up to task, especially on the collector's market.
But there was a scarier bit in the article... License Renewals for Star Wars and Marvel are coming and Mattel is eyeing them...
KEEP MATTEL AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM MARVEL AND STAR WARS... If you think Hasbro has done bad things with ML... Just imagine Mattel. Worse distribution, worse QC... MORE CORNERS CUT AND LESS ACCESSORIES!!
Bumblebee was actually good... Lots of nods to G1... Ratchet, Wheeljack, Arcee, Cliffjumper, Soundwave, Ravage, Shockwave, Optimus, The Seekers, Bumblebee and others actually looked like detailed versions of their G1-selves. Hell, the first 5 minutes of the movie makes up for 5 craptacular Bayformers movies. We have Optimus Prime kicking ass and begging for The Touch... (song appears later on the movie.) Not to mention references to Judd Nelson, who voiced Hot Rod in the last Good Transformers movie until Bumblebee.
The bad parts of the movie were establishing a connection to the failure that is Bayformers... John Cena sounded Surprisingly good... I didn't see him, but I heard him. Do yourself a favor and GO WATCH BUMBLEBEE!!
Action figures, Movies, Games, TV shows, things I like, Things I hate, weird news old or recent... they're fair game for my rants. DISCLAIMER: OPINIONS POSTED ARE EXAGGERATED FOR COMEDIC EFFECT!! Got it?
