The Infinite Possibilities with the Power Rangers Lightning Collection

During the 25th anniversary for the Power Rangers franchise, Saban Brands shockingly sold the entire property over to Hasbro. With this change in ownership it marked the end for Bandai of America’s involvement in the series which empowered the company for almost three decades. However, even in their final years with the series, fans were displeased with Bandai of America’s management of Power Rangers products, whether the products were basic retail items or high-end collectibles. The change in ownership easily convinced fans that things would finally be different as show…

Review: Transformers Siege of Cybertron Week Finale Final Thoughts & Comparisons

Hello Hero-Club this is Darkon633 and I am back with another toy review. To finish off Transformers Siege of Cybertron Week I will be comparing the various figures in this boxset along with showing my final thoughts. The overall set is 50/50 in my opinion since it includes some duds such as Thunderwing due to it only being a Titan Master and the lame Tidal Wave release. The other figures in the set in my opinion are pretty good, although it is a shame that in order to get all the…

Review: Transformers Siege of Cybertron Week Day 4 Magnus Prime

Hello Hero Club this is Darkon633 and I am back with another toy review. The final figure in the Transformers Siege of Cybertron box set is none other than Magnus Prime aka Ginrai. From what I can tell this figure is pretty much a straight on repack of the Takara Legends release so it is nice to actually get an affordable Leader Class figure based on a Takara Tomy design. The legs are a bit wonky, although it seems at least on mine it doesn’t suffer from the loose joints…

Review: Transformers Siege of Cybertron Week Day 3 Tidal Wave

Hello Hero Club this Darkon633 and I am back with another toy review. Moving on day three of Siege of Cybertron Week we will be taking a look at Tidal Wave. Out of all the figures in the set I personally feel this is the weakest especially since it doesn’t really work as an update to the character in my opinion. While the robot mode tries to look like Tidal Wave from Transformers Armada it just doesn’t click in my honest opinion especially since he is no longer composed of…

Review: Transformers Siege of Cybertron Week Day 2 Metalhawk

Hello Hero Club is this Darkon633 and continuing on with Siege of Cybertron Week we will now look at Metalhawk. It is quite interesting to see this character get an official release by Hasbro (outside of the Botcon release) especially since this character didn’t make into the original G1 Hasbro toyline. While the choice of using Triggerhappy mold makes sense it isn’t all that accurate, although it does at least work for the character. If you have the Triggerhappy mold then this figure will not have any new surprises. In…

Review: Transformers Siege of Cybertron Week Day 1 Pounce

Hello Hero Club this is Darkon633 and I am back with another toy review.  Today we will be looking at the BBTS exclusive Transformers Siege on Cybertron box set. The Siege of Cybertron set is filled of hits and misses. I am going to start looking at this box set a little differently this time. I decided to look at figure individually throughout the week. Today we will be looking at Pounce. It is unfortunate that Hasbro decided to put the clones within several box sets since it is great update…
