We returned to a world of spies and assassins, with SPY x FAMILY Season 2! And the Code: White movie! Great news, they both live up to (and arguably surpass) the excellent first season. Check out our thoughts in Episode 167- Bloody Vacation! Links in the replies! #anime #podcast

#Transformers MPG Style Gen is a new subline, and it kicks off with MPG-17 Optimus Prime! Yes, another Optimus. But he foregoes cartoon accuracy entirely, instead drawing inspiration from several previous versions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tNR...

A Nendoroid of Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony. Well... I guess better late than never. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gB0...

The #Transformers Timelines line returns, and this time it's Feudal Japan! The first pack is Optimus and Starscream, and they're a little overpriced. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpe-...

New Bee Factory made some hands for #Transformers Studio Series Devastator! And they're pretty nice overall. I have only one real nitpick. youtu.be/C_Sx7hw6pUo

#Transformers Studio Series Thundercracker (from the '86 movie) is a great toy. But as for whether he's better than the previous version, well that depends. And the new voyager price point isn't helping him win any points. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEzU...

The year of the horse has begun, and we kick it off with a return to Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray! The 2nd half of the first season, to be specific. Check out our thoughts in Episode 166- Year of the Horse. Links in the replies! #anime #podcast

#Transformers Studio Series Windcharger is a pretty clever figure. It has to get around some design limitation, and does so. Even if it's a little awkward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-5R...

#Transformers Age of the Primes Blast Off is a solid figure. Has some good bits, but he's not particularly special. Still good though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nomn...

Mastermind Creations' have finally started their Constructicons, starting with Deletus! Or Scrapper, if you prefer. And if he's a sign of things to come, we're in for a great combiner. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvuG... #Transformers

#Transformers Age of the Primes Big Convoy! He's actually pretty big and chunky. And he's also a cool figure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lUl...

A new season brought new anime, and we talked about 4 of them! We dodged the isekai, but 3 of them are still fantasy. Check out our thoughts in Episode 165- Not Today, Truck-kun. Links in the replies! #anime #podcast

Nexus Prime kinda reminds me of late 70's early 80's mecha anime so I'm finding him kinda charming

#Transformers Studio Series Soundwave (plus tapes) is a good set of figures overall. But is it really good enough to justify replacing your old one? Ehhh... www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1lp...

Zombie Land Saga: Yumeginga Paradise finally came out in the US! For one night only. But we watched it, and we generally had a blast. Hear our thoughts in Episode 164- A Legend Awakens! Links in the replies! #anime #podcast

Siyang Culture has released two more trainbots, Greenland & Mountain Serial! Definitely great figures, but the instructions are terrible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffTg... #Transformers

#Transformers Age of the Primes Brawl, the 2nd Combaticon from the line. He's a notable improvement over the Combiner Wars version, but at a bit of a cost. And I mean the actual monetary cost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj_b...

#Transformers Age of the Primes Amalgamous Prime is another weirdo. That's a good thing. He has variable alt modes. That's also a good thing. But some parts easily fall off. That's a bad thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RnB...

#Transformers Age of the Primes Quickstrike is a fine update to the original. I actually enjoy him quite a lot. youtu.be/LSsq-oBzzTw

Now in colour, courtesy of Mike Spicer who works with Daniel Warren Johnson on Skybound TF:

Figma Hoshimachi Suisei! She's a good figure, even if lacking in accessories. And some apparently have some bad elbows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y4b...

The Figma Sakura Miko! Great looking figure, lots of accessories, mine has some fragile bits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8l0...

In our first episode of 2026, we talk about the final season of My Hero Academia! Which turns out to not quite be the end, but whatever. It has its highs and lows, and probably stumbles at the end. Check out our thoughts in Episode 163- One Final Effort. Links in the replies! #anime #podcast

Finally, after taking too long, Magic Square's Lord of War, aka Bruticus! He's big, imposing, and unfortunately, comes with several annoying issues. youtu.be/ALfoElvYMKo #Transformers

To wrap up 2025, we took a look at City The Animation! It's a wonderfully animated, goofy, and fun anime. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. Listen to our thoughts in Episode 162- We Built This. Links in the replies! #anime #podcast

Magic Square's final MP Combaticon, Space Shuttle! You'll probably call him Blast Off. And generally, he's good, but there seems to be something missing... www.youtube.com/watch?v=25pD... #Transformers
